Steve looks aback a few of the best graphics products featured on the show. HP's Scanjet G450 can help you scan and restore old photos including those in slides. Steve looks at Apple Aperature to help with your photo editing needs and if you want to change to photos into art, Epson's large format printers are the way to go. They can print on a variety of surfaces including canvas. You'll need to backup all those fabulous photos too, Snapfish is a great place to backup and share you photos.
We have had the promise of the paperless office or home for a very long time. Alas we seem no closer to achieving this dream, in fact we produce more paper than ever.
Business still runs on paper. And for a small business person we can easily drown under the avalanche of paper we need to wade through and store. I have seven years worth of receipts, tax returns and corporate resolutions stored in my garage. I know it is required, but what a pain.
When you add what I need to keep to what I want to keep, you are talking a serious amount of paper to organize, file and store, with the hope that I can find it again when the time comes.
As usual, the computer represents hope for a better solution and there are several ways we can easily reduce our paper consumption, clutter and waste, while making ourselves a wee bit more efficient.
I have probably shown a few dozen multifunction printers on my show over the years, and I have to tell you, the bar is pretty high when it comes to today’s crop of AIO (all-in-one) devices. Each time I look at a new one I am impressed with the innovations in print technology, price and interface. The manufacturers are constantly challenged to come up with better, less expensive, more innovative technology, and the bar keeps climbing higher.
