PRINTER{{/B}}
Hamaki UK's new DFG-2OO0 Bubble Jet printer is ideal for anyone looking to add colour to serious documents and presentations, and is an upgrading of last year's DFG-15. Outstanding graphics make it a leading printer in its class, ideal for a business looking for quality, although its price may put it out of the reach of most private users. The unit can reproduce the finest details and its extended palette of colours means that a wide variety of images can be produced. Operated using software that can spot user errors before they result in poor printing, the machine has a simple two-button control panel. It is also very user-friendly and easy to install.

ELECTRONIC MULTIMEDIA BOX{{/B}}
Primal Products is set to liven up even the dullest desktop with its latest range of accessories. Office workers can now express themselves and individualise their working area with the Storage Collection. The Collection is a series of smart-looking boxes for multimedia disks, spoilt only by a rather unnecessary and gimmicky digital display on the front of the box, telling you what disks it contains. Available in bright colours chosen to match hardware trends, the collection is easily carried, which is a definite plus for those who need to take their work home with them.

FAX MACHINE{{/B}}
Reak's office machinery further expands its 'Home-office' range of products with the introduction of the RK1 fax machine. To reduce routine filing and save valuable time, the RK1 prints incoming documents and collates them automatically. Its slightly angular appearance is not very eye-pleasing, but it is very inexpensive, can store up to fifty numbers for quick dialling and has a built-in paper cutter.

NOTEBOOK COMPUTER{{/B}}
Kipadi, the company responsible for marketing Melon computers, has launched the MH3 notebook computer with unique removable disk drive. This means that each user can keep their own files confidential, on separate disks. The MH3 does take some time to master, and its functions are rather complex. However, it is extremely versatile and is ideal for use in the workplace and at home. It only weighs 3 kg, comes with a one year warranty and is in the mid-price range for notebook computers.

PHOTOCOPIER{{/B}}
Peterson's new 'slimline' photocopier is another attempt at making a product as small as possible. It is extremely portable for a photocopier, and even comes with a carrying case. It is very easy to use and includes the offer of a free home or office demonstration if you request one. This is a fairly basic machine, and copy quality leaves something to be desired; however, if you need a portable photocopier this could be for you - although it is difficult to imagine a big market for this type of machine.
