Techserve, part of the Al-Futtaim group’s electronics division, has introduced to the UAE, what it describes as the world’s first eco-friendly multifunction printer (MFP) system that can erase images and text on prints. By incorporating a special toner, the device is capable of erasing images and text output allowing for the reuse of paper, ameinfo reports.
The e-STUDIO 306LP MFP combines with the e-STUDIO RD30 for removing the toner colour from the printed documents. The instantly erasable toner is a special toner whose colour is removed by passing the paper through the RD30 at high temperature. If the same paper is used five times, this would amount to 50% reduction in the system’s total CO2 emissions. The key feature of the RD30 is ability to sort paper into reusable and un-reusable sheets at the same time as removing the toner colour, and to digitize the documents prior to erasing.
