Epson Launches World’s 1st Large Format Ink Tank Printers

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Epson has launched the world’s first large format sign printers that feature high-capacity ink tanks: The 44-inch Epson SureColor SC-B6070 and the 64-inch Epson SureColor SC-B7070.

Designed for high quality indoor signage printing, the high capacity ink tanks of these printers use original Epson dye-based inks and can be refilled even while the printers are in operation.

These printers represent a far superior solution to third-party ink tanks that are not made by the original printer manufacturer where refilling requires one to stop the printer, and there is no warranty coverage for their installation or else when non-original inks cause damage."

"The tale of an activist’s journey during the turbulent years of Martial Law, until his capture in the mountains and the dark, nine years of imprisonment that followed, leading to his birth as a poet."

Watch the journey of Jose Maria Sison in the years 1968-1977, from the refounding of the Communist Party of the Philippines to his capture and torture by the government that continues to exploit and repress the people today through pork barrel scams, extrajudicial killings and budget cuts in social services, among many others.

Solaire had a kick ass After Glow party at Eclipse last Halloween night. While everyone was dressed up in some creepy costume, we partied the night away at the country's newest entertainment complex.

Anderson Cooper Versus Korina Sanchez : Who Do You Believe?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

First it was Arnold Clavio, then now its Korina Sanchez. WTF Philippine Media??? Could someone build a CNN Philippines network! Let the truth be known!

It's pathetic how a broadcaster would rather argue and bicker with an international news icon like Anderson Cooper rather than actually focus on helping her own country. How does one find time? Korina Sanchez should learn ethics from CNN and not just open her mouth to whatever her emotions dictate.

That's 11 million people affected...which is 10% of the country's population... From Guian, Western Samar to Coron, Palawan... the breadth of the country composed of 7,000+ islands.

Logistics is really poor here in the Philippines and Anderson noticed that by pointing out the lack of personnel on the field. Another example of 'Filipino time', always late... Sadly, this doesn't get address often since everybody seems to be "used" to it... everything is slow here.

We encourage everyone to please donate your pre-loved and cherished items for an auction or bidding. We are calling the movement as "Bloggers Auction for Typhoon Yolanda Victims".

"Typhoon Yolanda the Category 5 mega-storm is estimated to have destroyed about 70 to 80 percent of structures in its path as it tore into the coastal provinces of Leyte and Samar in the Philippines. The Philippine government has already sent relief goods, rescuers, soldiers, and medical personnel to the affected areas.

As a Filipino I would like to Thank the whole world who has extended their help and sent relief goods, money and rescuers to help my fellow countrymen who have been devastated and lost their love ones by the World’s most powerful typhoon, Yolanda or Haiyan.
