Overview:
According to ZDNet News in June 2007, the pirating of ink cartridges costs printer manufacturers roughly $3 Billion annually – accounting for 5% of the worldwide printing industry.

Printer Manufacturers expend time and resources to create printers and toner cartridges that work in concert with one another. Once the printer ships, however, Manufacturers lose control of what consumables get used. End-users both knowingly and unknowingly compromise product reliability and jeopardize recurring revenue and cost structure through the use of unauthorized cartridges. Embedded RFID allows manufacturers to control what cartridges get placed in their printers.

What you'll learn:

  • Differences between RFID and existing barcode and contact technologies.
  • How RFID embedded into printers guarantees authentic toner cartridges and locks in recurring revenue.
  • Unique technical and business considerations for embedding RFID into printers
  • Various ways real-world companies are presently using RFID in their printers to drive revenue and differentiation
