The Toshiba TEC Printing Solution Business is strongly committed to foster green printing anywhere where print is required, at the customers' business offices, supply chain operations, retail & hospitality businesses and other B2B operations, across the globe.

This revolutionary new MFP was recently unveiled at the '11th Informal Meeting on Further Action against Climate Change', hosted in Tokyo by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The groundbreaking new technology was equally exhibited at the East Asia Low Carbon Growth Partnership Dialogue as well as the Tokyo International Conference on African Development.

In addition to the line up of MFP solutions and BCS solutions that can offer lower power consumption, Toshiba TEC positioned the paper reusing MFP systems as the core products for the ECO-friendly solutions, and launches a series of innovative new printing devices such as rewritable barcode printer.

The new ECO line of printing solutions also integrates better energy management, smart paper management and services to create the new value for customers.
