Prototype product doing its stuff

At the end of last week our 2nd prototype unit arrived from the factory in China. Within an hour it was out of the wooden crate and up and running, doing its stuff. The guys in China have done a great job and it such a fast time, fantastic to see.

This is the 2nd prototype, the first prototype was a unit to demonstrate the basics of the new technology, this 2nd prototype is nearing production ready standard. I have attached a picture showing the Cypherseal PP1000 unit integrated with a Brother HL6050DN laser printer.

The next step is to have the prototype demonstrated to a range of potential UK customers (Value add distributors / dealers). In a start up its so important to have a working demo to show, gives everyone confidence and better understanding, not to mention the fun of demonstrating a world first technology.

In parallel, I am talking with the factory in China to lock down the details and costings for the next phase of the project, this is moving out of prototype and into pre production with our plan to have first production ready product ready for UK market launch in October of this year.

Until next time

In the beginning

An inventor and entrepreneur Peter Prater had the idea and vision to use a new technology and create a business to enable SME's to reduce the costs of the various single sheet documents they print as well as to significantly improve the handling and distribution of confidential information often printed on the sheet. Over the next few years Peter began the work and patented the technology.

In December 2007, I joined Peter to set up the business and bring the product to market. The name of the business is Cypherseal. We are a young start up company based outside Bristol in the UK.

So what is so special about this new technology and Cypherseal? As we all know, a lot has been done in the recent past to help improve the distribution and confidentiality of electronic mail, but as for the printed sheet, well truth be told, nothing has been done over the recent past.
