TurboDrivers

Computer Concepts' TurboDrivers are a range of high-speed printer drivers optimised for the most popular ink-jet printers from Canon, Hewlett Packard and Epson. Not only are print times significantly reduced over those from the Acorn drivers, but control is returned to the user much sooner while the printer driver continues printing in the background.

If you want to run the TurboDrivers (or one of Computer Concepts' LaserDirect laser printers) over a network, then you sould get the Network Spoolers for TurboDrivers and Laser Direct. These are compatible with any AUN network and include an unlimited network licence for the software.

Printer consumables

Computer Concepts stocks a full range of inks and papers for the Canon bubble-jet range of printers, including for models that Canon no longer sells. It also stocks replacement toner cartridges for the LaserDirect range of laser printers.

Canon bubble-jet printers

Computer Concepts sells a range of Canon bubble-jet printers to cater for all needs. The printers are all supplied with the appropriate TurboDriver software to drive them:

• BJC-210 - this is the cheapest bubble-jet printer in the range, offering A4 printing at 720dpi (mono) and 360dpi (colour). This printer is currently out of stock while a TurboDriver is developed for it.
• BJ-230 - an A3 360 dpi mono-only printer.
• BJC-4100 - very similar specifications to the BJC-210, but more expensive, faster and better quality. It offers A4 printing at 720dpi (mono) and 720x360dpi (colour). If your printing requirements are primarily for mono work with occasional need for colour, then either the BJC-210 or the BJC-4100 should be considered. This printer is out of stock at the time of writing while a TurboDriver is developed for it.
• BJC-70 - a compact, portable version of the BJC-4100. It is slower than the BJC-4100, but small and light enough to fit into a briefcase; it's the ideal printer for someone for whom portability is important.
• BJC-610 - a 24-bit colour, 720dpi A4 printer. This is the ideal printer for someone wanting to do a lot of colour work, unless they need the A3 printing offered by the BJC-800.
• BJC-800 - offers 24-bit, 360dpi A3 printing. This is the only A3 full-colour printer in the range, and is useful for small runs of colour proofing work. If A3 printing is not required, the higher resolution offered by the cheaper BJC-610 makes it the better choice.
