TVS Proton Dot-Matrix Printer
(Apr. 19 2004)

TVS recently launched its new range of dot-matrix printers, which include a cute blue printer that looks good enough to put a lot of inkjets to shame - the TVS Proton. Not only is it good in looks, but it is also claimed to be the world's fastest bill printer. Sounds interesting? Let's find out more.

The box contains the main printer unit, a printer ribbon and an ink bank for the ribbon, Serial port cable, driver CD, and a manual. The printer installation is fairly easy - just place the ink bank in the ribbon cartridge's slot and fix the ribbon cartridge inside the printer. The software installation is a breeze through the Web interface on the CD.

This 9 wire, 80-column bi-directional printer looks quite cute in comparison to most dot-matrix printers with its inkjet-inspired small size and its blue color scheme. At 420 x 220 x 180 mm in size and 4.5 kg in weight, it's convenient to place at a cash counter or even a desktop instead of getting an additional stand for it. (ztj041904)

Xerox seeks to push print for plastic circuits
(Apr. 19 2004)

Xerox Corp. has developed a semiconductive ink that could make it possible to create low-cost, flexible transistor circuits by inkjet printing or other common techniques, according to a news release.

The ink can be used to print the semiconductor channels of transistors at low temperatures and in open air, which is required for low-cost manufacturing. Current methods require processing at high temperatures and under inert atmospheres, the release said.

Xerox also announced it has developed materials for printing the other components - a conductor and dielectric - necessary to make a plastic circuit. The technology could lead to cheaper flat-panel and flexible displays, as well as radio-frequency identification tags. (ztj041904)
