01732 759725 magazine 11 INNOVATION First of many Xerox has launched its first new devices under the unified Xerox brand and refreshed logo, following the company’s integration with Lexmark. Built on the combined resources of both companies, the A4 colour printers and MFPs (the Xerox C240/C245, C255a and C300/C303a/C305ae) are aimed at the fast-growing small workgroup segment. They combine easy set-up and deployment with advanced features like built-in security to help protect devices, documents and network access and integrated post-quantum cryptography (PQC) support for future-ready protection against evolving cyber threats. xerox.com Collector PCs With a shared tradition of creating luxury British products in small numbers, PC-maker Chillblast and Aston Martin have unveiled the first fruits of their creative partnership – a collection of gaming PCs designed and hand-finished in the UK. There are three models in the collection: the Chillblast x Aston Martin RTX 5070 PC (from £3,749); the Chillblast x Aston Martin Limited Edition RTX 5090 PC (from £8,499); and the water-cooled Chillblast x Aston Martin Signature Edition (from £15,999). Both the RTX 5090 PC, limited to 20 pieces, and the built-to-order Signature Edition are real collector pieces. All three models combine Chillblast’s heritage in custom computing with Aston Martin’s distinctive design features, from its bespoke badging and satin Iridescent Emerald finish – a contemporary expression of British Racing Green – to black leather and wooden accents and detailing. Chillblast CEO Scott Brenchley said: “After 25 years of hand-building PCs, this is the project we have been waiting for. Aston Martin’s obsession with material and finish matches our own, and this collaboration lets us bring their paint, pattern and interior design language into an entirely new category.” chillblast.com Carbon-balanced paper Antalis has launched U:create multifunctional paper, a bright white everyday office paper designed to deliver consistent print performance while supporting measurable environmental action. As well as being PEFC and EU Ecolabel-certified and supplied in PE‑free packaging, the 75gsm A4 paper is part of the Carbon Balanced Paper programme, meaning every order contributes to the work of World Land Trust, an established conservation organisation that acquires and protects threatened habitats in biodiversity hotspots around the world. Antalis Category Manager Paul Savill said: “U:create multifunctional paper proves that high-performance office paper and meaningful environmental impact can go hand in hand. Organisations and consumers can simply change the paper they order, so everyday printing is contributing to carbon balancing and global conservation efforts.” www.antalis.co.uk Bureau de change With its new Signature Series 2.0 range, Bureau, the soundproof workspace company, is offering greater flexibility for focused work, meetings and collaboration. The Signature Series 2.0 retains five core booth sizes but introduces eleven interior configurations, giving businesses far greater flexibility in how pods are used across an office, from a simple standing setup for quick calls to fully furnished workspaces designed for longer meetings or focused work. Other enhancements include a quieter ventilation system that replaces the previous single high-output unit with four lower-power fans, creating balanced airflow that keeps the space fresh; enhanced lighting, with adjustable colour temperature ranges from 3000K to 6000K (warm for calls, cool for focus), which activates automatically on occupancy and switches off when the booth empties; soft self-closing hinges; integrated power blocks; pre-wired interiors; fabric-wrapped acoustic panels; and a redesigned door profile with dual compression seals for enhanced soundproofing. In April, Bureau announced a £74 million contract with WeWork to provide WeWork Go pods for airports, convention centres and other public spaces, followed by the opening of its first London showroom in May. www.withbureau.com
