Dear readers,

Like every year, the 7th session of ReChina Asia Expo wasorganised successfully in Shanghai at China International Purchase

Center. Every year new exhibitors join ReChina Asia Expo, which

is the essential reason why ReChina Expo can maintain its vigor

and provide vast amount of choices. This year there came more

than 80 new exhibitors.

Many companies have full condence in ReChina Expo and regard

ReChina Expo as the best and the only choice. In the same season,

more than 200 companies only exhibited at ReChina Expo. Visitors

cant see these companies at any other show in the same time.

These exclusive exhibitors provided irreplaceable resources for

ReChina Expo and added some unique avor to the biggest trade

show.

As statistic shows, 7,200 attendees visited 2010 ReChina Expo.. All

of them are professionals in printer consumable industry, and many

of them are frequent attendees of ReChina Asia Expo.

During the show period, ReChina arranged three major events

to the exhibitors and visitors like Lyra China Supplies Forum,

Recharger Luncheon Brieng and ReChina-Shanghai World Expo

Tour.

But many exhibitors or visitors feel trafc inconvenience due to

the exhibition hall change. The spring session of ReChina Expo

2011 will be held at Shanghai Exhibition Center, in the downtown

of Shanghai, on Apr. 20 to22, 2011. We hope more powerful show

again next year in Shanghai.

v ni n CnInterad Weston, a 20 year-old privately-held Canadian distributorof consumable products, plans to growits business next year by way of partnerexpansion and niche market offerings.Interad Westons general manager,Daniele Ponzi, said Axxess Logistics isthe holding company and Interad Westonis the name the distributor uses to go tomarket. Ponzi said the specialty distributoroffers supplies such as ink cartridges,

toner, CDs, DVDs, paper, and anythingelse thats required once the hardwareis purchased. He likens the business to

being the gas station of the industry. Inaddition to carrying some of the productlines such as HP, Lexmark, Epson,Samsung, and others, that many of thetraditional broadline distributors stock,Interad Weston offers a more focusedapproach. Interads business approach isto work with small, independent and non-traditional shelf space retail players andresellers instead of the traditional big boxones, Ponzi said. The distributor will also

work closely with these shops to analyzethings such as location and customertrafc in order to stock the most suitableskus and products. Well do the entire

planogram to select which OEM (originalequipment manufacturer) cartridges, forexample, stores should carry based onour monitoring and observations, Ponzisaid. Lots of retailers usually load up on

products but no one actually monitors itand months later, they still have a lot ofstock but by this time, its already pastthe return period for the manufacturer ordistributor, so then it becomes an inventoryissue. With a team of just 63 employeesand a few satellite sales representatives,the distributor is able to service the entirecountry through its Vaughan, Ont. andCalgary-based distribution ofces. Withits relatively small size, Ponzi said thedistributor is able to offer its customersa more personal touch and can also bemore exible while working with them.Having served the Canadian marketplacefor the past 20 years, Ponzi said theresstill a lot of potential and room forsteady growth here. We see a need foradditional shelf and mind space withinthe market place to get to the end user, hesaid. For example, I may be a dollar storeor a convenience store, but if I have SDcards on the shelves, I can sell it and makea pretty good margin on it. We encourageour partners to broaden their horizons sothey can offer more to their customers.Unlike other technology areas whichmay have experienced a decline in salesdue to the recession, the consumablesspace has been a fairly stable space,Ponzi said. Printing volumes haveremained consistent across the boardand more customers are utilizing digitalstorage, which illustrates a storage mediadevice opportunity for partners.

For our dealers and subsidiaries,the low entry level pricing, expandedfeature set, simplied installation,extended maintenance cycles, andreduced training needs make thesedevices key to increasing placements,streamlining technical workow, andgenerating greater protability, said

Joseph Contreras, director, Product andSolutions Marketing, TABS. The KIP

accurate printing with 600 x 600 dpiresolution quality, and offer users theability to print documents from a varietyof storage locations directly from theinnovative KIP color touch screen. Withan easy-to-use screen that clearly guidesusers through system operations, lesstraining is needed. For the ultimatein document workow management,

both new KIP devices are fully color-enabled to scan, le and copy to inkjet

printers. Additionally KIP ColorAdvanced provides users with featuresto optimize color copy, print, and scan

workows while simultaneouslyreducing costs. For greater convenienceand precise control in demanding colorenvironments, KIP Color Advanced may

MSe Rss HP 5500 tnr Crrgswh SCS tchng

Micro Solutions Enterprises (MSE) has utilized its patent

pending, SCS technology for the 5500 family of cartridges.

The 5500 has been a major challenge in the industry and many

would agree the hardest cartridge ever released. The industry has

struggled with a myriad of issues on this model from leaking,

streaking, dirty print, to backrounding and more. But MSE now

offers HP 5500 toner cartridges with SCS technology, part of

MSEs new Absolute Color Technologies. Gil Wazana, vice

president of Sales said on this new application, With several

manufacturers discontinuing the 5500 and a growing level

of frustration with the consistency of this product, we saw an

opportunity to utilize our Intelligent Re-Engineering process

to provide a true OEM alternative to the market. Although an

older device, the 5500/5550 is still HPs lead A3 color printer

product and continues to be in high demand by distributors,MPS providers, and dealers, which have resorted to only selling

the low margin OEM. We are excited by the results generated

with the SCS and are condent that our customers will be able

to successfully place and retain this product in their customers

environments. MSE tested this new release using its battery of

testing. These include environmental stress testing, low temp/

low humidity, high temp/high humidity environmental testing,

continuous life tests, stop go testing, accelerated aging testing,

and ISO 19798 yield testing. MSE is the largest USA based

remanufacturer and is acclaimed as one of the leading edge

innovators in the marketplace. MSE has pioneered the process

of Intelligent Re-Engineering as applied to remanufactured

printer consumables which is a protocol that employs patentedtechnologies, proprietary processes, and stringent testing

methodologies all with the goal of providing the markets best

alternative to high cost OEM print consumables. MSE has

from a VDI environment using, for example, an iPad or iPhone.Enables users to send faxes using the print dialog without havingto run the fax server. Virtual Copy is a mouse-click away from

printing out documents in several copies at different locationsand of different quality, or generating them in digital form ifneeded. Supports enhanced printing options, such as three-hole

punching and stapling. The second innovation after NextGenV-Layer is ThinPrints Personal Printing. The solution, alreadyavailable in an initial version, protects sensitive information byrequiring the user to identify themselves at the printer before the

printout can take place. For identication, ThinPrints PersonalPrinting supports all common smartcards and ngerprint readers.Thanks to V-LayerTM technology, the user does not have todecide which printer to use when creating the print job, openingup an entirely new dimension of exibility.

SnEFI announced the next generation of the PrintMe mobile printing solution that empowers mobile workers to printfrom any Internet-enabled device, including laptops and mobile

devices such as iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry and Google Android,

anywhere at any time. Launched nine years ago, EFI PrintMe

was the worlds rst* cloud-based printing platform that enabled

mobile workers to upload their documents to the PrintMe cloud

and securely print them on any PrintMe-enabled printer. The

solution has thousands of placements worldwide, with millions

of pages printed, making it easy to print on the go, whether it

is guest printing in an enterprise, printing from a hotel room or

airport, or just using a mobile device on the street. Now, with the

launch of the next generation PrintMe mobile printing solution,

EFI has enhanced the capabilities of PrintMes cloud aware

printers with powerful document conversion capabilities, unique

smartphone apps, a new print driver, and SDKs for developers

who wish to add printing capabilities to their applications. The

PrintMe iPhone application will be available in early November,

enabling users to print airline boarding passes, web pages, photos

and more from their iPhone, iTouch or iPad. The application

for BlackBerry phones will be available in December. Long

before the explosion of smartphones and the current buzz about

cloud-based services, EFI brought to market a cutting-edge

mobile printing technology that has enabled millions of pages

to be printed, said Toby Weiss, general manager of Fiery and

senior vice president, EFI. Now, were bringing this same

functionality to business professionals who want to print from

any application, on any mobile device, to any printer wherever

they are. Theres no need to buy special printers or wait years

for these features to become available, since PrintMe works

with any PrintMe-enabled printer today. PrintMe technology

has caught the attention of EFIs long-standing OEM partners.

Xerox recently announced a portfolio of mobile print offerings,

including PrintMe, as part of its mobile print portfolio.As

a long term partner with EFI, we intend to leverage PrintMe

technology to extend our portfolio of Xerox Mobile Solutions,

said Elizabeth Fox, vice president, Solutions Business Unit at

Xerox Corporation. EFIs cloud-based printing will benet

many Xerox customers who are increasingly utilizing theirmobile devices for their everyday work.In the early days of the

original PrintMe service, the hospitality market was the largest

adopter of the offering. Today, hotel and resort partners continue

to support and trust the PrintMe solution.We have been actively

using the EFI PrintMe service across 100 Extended Stay Deluxe

properties since 2005, said Ira Greeneld, vice president of

technology at Extended Stay Hotels. While others are just now

talking about it, our guests have been using PrintMe to print

from their laptops for years, and appreciate having a reliable,

secure, and easy to use solution for printing on the go.Cloud

printing services are the next digital printing breakthrough,

changing the business model from costly and limited ownership

of individual printers to exible anytime, anywhere access toprinted communications, said Pete Basiliere, research director,

Gartner Imaging and Print Services.

bt Ink Ton lnrmncr nr crrgs

Best Ink Toner has introduced laser toner cartridge for lasertoner printer. The ink quality is superior and can competewith OEM cartridges. Best Ink Toner has generated environment

friendly remanufactured laser toner cartridge for the printers.

This ink cartridge not only saves environment but also save

your money almost up to 70% from buying a new one, said an

executive from Best Ink Toner. Your laser toner cartridge, when

run out of ink, is sent to the manufacturer to re-ll the empty

cartridge with a new toner. This process of relling is widely

accepted as it saves a good amount of oil and plastic. With our

vast range of laser toner cartridges designed for all printer

models, we believe that we can contribute generously to save

the environment. If ink cartridges are recycled instead of

throwing away, it could save a huge volume of plastic from

getting dumped in landlls. Our website is on a mission to

further educate people on how to be more concerned about our

environment and helps preserve this planet, says an executive

from Best Ink Toner. He also said that the empty cartridges

cannot just be thrown into the garbage. We have to nd out

several effective environmentally responsible ways to be able

to reconstruct such material.

Fast Track

There is famous phrase in English, the coming events cast

their shadows before. It is a general perception that people

Work to live. But in the case of A. Masood Khan,

President of IMAGE STAR, it is the other way, as according to

him he Lives to work. It is this strong belief that has shaped

him into what he is today.

Khan was born to very poor parents in a

South Indian city, Chennai and was adopted by

foster parents at the age of four. He had his early

schooling in a local Corporation School with no

exposure to national languages of English and

Hindi, but with having to study only in the localregional language, Tamil till the twelfth standard.

He did his Bachelors degree in Commerce in

English medium, with little background in that language.

During these years, he lost his own mother at the age of ten

and immediately after his graduation, he lost his foster father.

The family had by then used up even the small savings it had

saved by the foster father. The burden of the family naturally

devolved on Mr. Khan, with none to extend help and at least

comfort him in his hour of distress.

It is at this stage that he happened to see the gleams of the

real world and ventured into rough waters of shouldering the

burden at such a young age. He lived only in a tiled house with

no electricity.

He took up his career as a Delivery Boy and later joined a

small company, delivering printer cartridges etc. He also held

the positions of Sales Executive and Senior Executive and later

joined AMKETTE, a diskette manufacturing company as a

Sales Ofcer and gained rich experience.

He began his arduous journey towards setting in life and

had, in the process, to go through difcult days

with none except his dependant foster mother. He

raced through life with rm belief that one should

work for work sake, without expectations and

without anticipating any reward or award. He was

also, moreover, inspired by the noble example ofLord Krishna in the Mahabharata war.

It is a well known fact that Good Deeds always bring

Good Results. The result is the establishment of Image Star

Technologies in 1995 joining hands with Manoj, manufacturing

printer ribbons in a small way. The initial days presented

teething problems mainly due to inadequate experience in

nancial planning and Stiff market competition making survival

a daunting task.

The advancement of technology created a demand for ink

jet and laser jet. The Image Star saw in it enormous potential

for its growth and joined with a Delhi based company taking

over the distributorship for marketing its products. The Image

Star promoted there brand in a big way in South India and

soon realized that the Delhi based rm

had involved itself directly in business

deserting the Image Star.

The Image Star lost many of itsdealers and remained helpless unable to

grapple with the situation. This prompted

the company to promote its own product

on a national level and to develop the

dealer and distributor base. So Believed

and Committed to its dealer not to face

the situation, which IMAGE STAR has come across the dealers,

under the policy of the company, dealers are real kings of the

IMAGE KING brand in their region with good prot margin.

It adopted the exclusive distributor policy, which enabled the

dealers to enjoy the full brand equity in their region.

The launch of IMAGE KING brand is a milestone in the

brief history of the concern with ofces in Bangalore, Madurai,Secundarabad and in Delhi. Jet Tec, Mumbai based company

extended enormous support in the companys struggle and in its

hours of difculties and hence the Image Star is ever indebted to

them. Man with gratitude always grows.

Another turning point, in the fortunes of the company is the

one with Khan having joined ALMA MATER, an institution

which teaches human and human values. The training coupled

with his uninching faith in the part of Truth and Honest

boosted his morale to a great extent. The company stood to gain

enormous patronage and scaled greater heights in the otherwise

competitive market.

The Image Star does not want to boast of its growth anddevelopment over the years as a National player in the eld but

would like to attribute them to the Grace of God. Now IMAGE

STAR is celebrating 15th year of success.

The Image Star enjoys the credit of a multi product company

with a variety of products such as Ribbon Cartridges, Inkjet

Cartridges, Toner Cartridges. Indias rst automated bottling unit

for toner product besides importers of imaging accessories like

drums, angler blade and doctor blade, PCR, MSR, Headphone,

Web Camera and Speakers.

The enclosed list contains the current items of products of the

Image Star, which will serve as a Product Guide to everybody

dealing with the Imaging industry irrespective of whether one is

a Image Starians or not. This guide is a Reference Guide to allthe computer dealers dealing with consumables an Enlightened

Gift.

Finally, recalling a simple ancient story A little boy was so

happy to have a glass of cold water on a hot day that he

impulsively thanked the glass. Dont thank me, said the glass,

thank the tap where I came from. So he thanked the tap, and

the tap said, Dont thank me; thank the well. So he did that.

The well replied, You should thank the rain, not me. So he

thanked the rain, and the rain said, Thank the clouds. The

clouds said, Thank the sun. The sun said, Thank the ocean.

The ocean said, Thank the one who made me, the sun, the

clouds, the rain, the well, and the man who made the tap and the

glass. We thank dealers who supported us and we thank God foreverything.

In todays world the great problem face by thepeople across the world is pollution. To controlthis paramount problem the entire world has

come together to ght it out and nd out someeffective solution to check the this menance. Theever increasing contamination of air caused bythe use of primitive methods of of destroying thesolid or other waste including the e-waste. Vastindustrilization, use of electronic equipments, andtheir consumables and other dispersion of smokeor fumes from the industries as well as automobilesectors created havoc for the environment. So,the developed nations have already implementedvarious methods to keep the pollution undercontrol. Developing and underdevelopedcountries are also following the same footprintsto make their respective countires pollution free.

Very recently China has banned thedestruction of e-waste by the unauthorized peopleor organizations. They have issued license tocompanies who are equipped with safe recyclingor destruction of e-waste facilities approved by theGovernment and Pollution Control Board, failingwhich heavy penalty will be imposed includingimprisonment.

Though the government of India planned tocontrol this menance but may be due to someother compultions or lack of interest to implementthe strategies, people in majority suffer in silence.Automobile sector where the government has

implemented strict law that each and every vehicle coming out fromtheir respective factories should carry pollution control certications. Butwhat about other sectors who are induldging in increasing the pollution

including the well renowned and big organization. Probably the lobly ofthis sector is so strong that the government can hardly do any thing againstthem to control this problem. Why the government of India so reluctantto issue strictures against the organizations whose manufacturing processenhance the pollution or create health hazards?.

We have every facilities in our country but most of them remainineffective or may be on papers. For example, today, if we visit to areaswhere relling and recycling of laser printer cartridge are carried outone would nd how majority of these rellers/

recylers pollute the environment without any consideration forenvironment, or fear for their own peoples health & people around them,as the pollutants i.e toner dust being made of thermoplastic materialscan cause irreversible human health hazards.

So, it is imperative to have some protective system to control orarrest the ever increasing pollution in the segment for the sake of cleanenvironment and human health as a whole.

Though the relling/recycling of laser printer cartridges has reducedthe e-dump considerably all over the world but at the same time enhancethe scope of increasing the pollution by not adopting the correct

procedures, particularly in the country like India. If the problem of pollution is not taken care of seriously by the people engage in suchbusiness or by the Government then the time is not far away when everysecond person may suffer from lung or heart ailments or other relateddiseases jeoparadising the national progress.
