Samsung Electronics VERSA
Entry level printers have suffered a loss of revenue do to reclining sales as users print less or upgrade to AiO products. This Entry-Printer-Innovation Program was looking at ways to revitalize Samsung’s printing business by exploring ways to improve the overall printing experience. Entry level printers, often used in home or small office spaces bring their unique set of challenges, such as issues related to footprint and location, Samsung-branded toner replacement, access to paper input / output as well as status feedback and UI.
The user experience from set-up to first print, understanding WHY people print and why people may NOT print, was essential to understand in order to suggest encouragements for users to print. Out-of-box experience, competition, price point, part count, pain points and user needs were identified to provide solutions resulting in true value.
The result was VERSA, a desk clamp-like printer which can attach to the edge of any table to minimize footprint. The open support frame on top allows for different accessory tray inserts.
Accessory Tray Options
Tray vary in color and functionality:
1) Simple open tray for letter size papers, recycling of papers, or incoming or outgoing mail. 2) Tray with formed-in partitions for office supplies like pens, paper clips and 3M sticky pads. 3) Tray with formed chrome wire to hold envelops, stationary and binders.
Toner Packaging & New Business Model
Accessory trays can be changed and purchased bundled with toner replacements, providing a new business model to encourage users to buy Samsung branded toners.
The inner structure is made of Metal Stamping with injection molded skin around it. Partial plastic shown above.
Access for toner replacement is guaranteed through the open frame structure on top. The top output paper area slides towards the rear to provide access to the inside.
