Our Answer to a Smartphone / Tablet Dock Charging Station

With the iPhone in its 8th iteration of the product and most likely you have some older models laying around. Those older models can be put to use, but chances are, you don’t keep them charged up. So after a couple of days without connection, they are dead. I currently use an older iPhone to stream my music at work. I don’t stream from my phone, because I always seem to get disconnect to the Bluetooth speakers after I take a call. USB charge dock station This is why I like the 10 port charging station from USBFever. It’s got a logical design for holding ten devices. With the USB ports on the bottom, it keeps the plugs from hanging off the wall. Just above the USB ports are hollow channels you can bundle up the USB cable and stash it away. On top are vertical channels to hold your iPhone, iPad, Smartphone or tablet. The vertical channels are tall enough the devices will sit sturdy and proper. Finally, the design includes a good balance of power output for the devices. There are a total of 10 USB ports. Eight of which push out a 2.5amp power supply and the remaining two are 1amp. This means the charging dock station will power the tablets as well as the larger iPhone and Samsung product while you can leave the smaller phones to the 1amp channels.

USB Flash Drive Inkjet Printer LOGO-EZ by Nexcopy

UPDATE: The Nexcopy USB flash drive inkjet printer has been upgraded to the new LOGO-EZ PRINTER, a 40-up full-color inkjet printer designed specifically for USB flash drive branding. The LOGO-EZ features a fully customized tray that securely holds USB drives in place during printing. Pricing starts around $3,500. For current product specs and availability, visit Nexcopy.com.


Legacy Overview: USB7P USB Flash Drive Inkjet Printer

Note: The following section refers to the discontinued USB7P model. Nexcopy now offers an improved USB flash drive inkjet printer under the LOGO-EZ name. See Nexcopy’s site for current models.

What Was the USB7P Inkjet Printer for USB Flash Drives?

Nexcopy introduced the USB7P USB flash drive inkjet printer as a compact desktop solution for professional, full-color branding of USB swivel drives. Unlike traditional third-party printing services that require bulk orders and long lead times, the USB7P allowed businesses to take control of their branding process directly from their office. With the ability to print custom logos, promotional graphics, or product-specific designs onto the metal swivel clips of USB drives, companies could create fully personalized flash drives on demand.

This inkjet printer for USB flash drives supported widely used file formats like JPEG and bitmap, making it easy for users to import their artwork and align it accurately to each clip. Designed for efficiency, the USB7P produced vivid, high-resolution prints in less than a minute. Whether for small-run marketing giveaways, corporate training tools, or private-label media distribution, the USB7P gave organizations a flexible and cost-effective way to customize USB drives in-house without sacrificing print quality or turnaround time.

How the USB Flash Drive Inkjet Printer Worked

The USB7P utilizes specially designed printable swivel clips provided by Nexcopy, which replace the standard metal clips commonly found on traditional USB flash drives. These printable clips are engineered to fit perfectly on most standard swivel-style flash drives, making it easy to transform a generic drive into a custom-branded product. One of the standout features of this system is the ability to swap out the clips at any time—a major advantage for businesses that frequently update their branding, change promotional campaigns, or require multilingual packaging.

For example, if your logo undergoes a redesign or seasonal artwork is required for a limited-time offer, you can simply print new clips and replace the old ones without needing to purchase entirely new drives. This modular approach to USB branding not only saves cost but also greatly enhances operational flexibility. Companies can even produce different color variations of the same logo or design to align with specific departments, product lines, or event themes—all from the same batch of flash drives.

Powered by HP’s advanced inkjet technology, the USB7P USB flash drive inkjet printer supports over 11 million colors with spot-on PMS color matching. Whether you’re printing a vibrant photo, a subtle watermark, or a two-tone logo, the output remains sharp, consistent, and high-resolution. The printer can produce a full-color set of seven USB clips in just 35 seconds, delivering fast, professional results with minimal effort and no drying time required.

Key Features of the USB7P USB Flash Drive Inkjet Printer

  • Full-color inkjet printing on both sides of USB clips
  • Accepts JPEG and bitmap file formats
  • Prints 7 clips per batch with unique or identical images
  • Onboard camera ensures perfect image alignment
  • Fast output with instant-dry, water-resistant results

Software Setup for the USB Flash Drive Inkjet Printer

Setup was simple: install drivers, load the 7-slot clip tray, and launch the included Nexcopy software. The printer’s onboard camera helped align your artwork with precision. To print the reverse side, just flip the clips and print again—no drying time needed.

A Proven Solution for USB Branding and Fulfillment

The USB7P USB flash drive inkjet printer was specifically engineered to meet the dynamic needs of modern corporations, where product labeling, software revisions, or branding updates can change rapidly and often with little notice. In industries where management frequently mandates last-minute design or version updates—such as software development, medical devices, education, or government—the ability to perform in-house USB flash drive customization becomes not just a convenience but a necessity.

Unlike outsourcing, which introduces lead times, minimum order quantities, and increased costs, the USB7P allowed organizations to react quickly to evolving requirements. Whether it was a rebranded product suite, a new software patch, or an internal initiative that needed fast deployment, the USB7P gave teams the ability to print full-color, professional-grade USB swivel clips in real time—on demand, and in small or large batches.

Its capability to print seven clips simultaneously with unique or identical artwork made it ideal for short-run branding jobs, quick-turn marketing promotions, sales samples, trade shows, beta program rollouts, or even internal asset labeling. This level of flexibility empowered departments to keep pace with marketing, compliance, or operational directives without relying on third-party suppliers or long production schedules.

Though the USB7P has since been replaced by the more powerful LOGO-EZ printer, the core concept remains the same: give corporate users the ability to control their USB branding pipeline from start to finish—affordably, efficiently, and on their own schedule.

Stand alone Windows Password Reset Tool

One of the most classic and – yet still perversely prevalent – issues IT staff face is resetting Windows passwords for users who have forgotten them (again). While remote administration has reduced the need to physically reactivate and reset passwords in most scenarios, a copy of L0phtcrack still remains in every experienced admins ‘toolbox’. Of course, having to reboot the system and use a copy of Bart PE or other portable OS’ to run L0phtcrack has a PITA factor all its own. USB key reset tool   Well, it seems that entrepreneur Jonty Lovell has done something about it as the all new – and fully funded – Password Reset Key has been designed to take the hassle out of this common issue. In fact, as long as you have physical access to the system even home owners can now reset their forgotten password within mere moments. The secret to the Password Reset Key is the fact that it combines a key shaped 1GB flash drive – available in black, stainless steel, or ‘gold’ – with a simple OS that auto-loads his custom software upon startup. Just as with L0phtcrack, with a simple click or three, you can scan, reset and even test how secure a given systems login passwords are. Because of its ‘key’ form factor, it will be hard to lose as you can simply stick on your keychain and always have it close at hand. However, be warned that this $15 – $50 device (depending on which option to choose) may get you in trouble with your IT staff as resetting the ‘administrator’ password will greatly ‘annoy’ them if they find out.

How Flash Memory Works

This is a great video that explains how flash memory works. Granted, the video is very technical but does work through the concept of reading and writing data to flash. So if you have the 17 minutes to use, I suggest giving this a watch. The video does cover SLC, MLC and TLC memory and how each of these technologies read and write with the different layers of a floating gate device like NAND. Source: YouTube. Continue Reading

Question CRC Verse Checksum Verification for USB Flash Drives?

What is better?

CRC Verse Checksum Verification for USB flash drives

This article does the math and gives examples on which verification method is best.

This post is to give the general user an idea of what verification method is better for writing data to a flash drive. There are reference links at the bottom of this post which dive much deeper into the two methods of verification if this simple overview is not enough.

The short answer is Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) is the best method for checking data written to a USB flash drive.

Many believe a checksum is the best method to verify data written to a flash drive (most popular is MD5). I believe this is favored because it is easier to understand how the verification works, and also easier to implement. However, there are flaws in checksum verification and therefore it is not suitable for verification of data written to a flash drive.

What is the difference between Checksum and CRC verification? The checksum method uses addition in its math calculations to check whether all data was written correctly. CRC uses long division in its math calculations to check whether all data was written correctly. It is worth noting I am talking about binary long division, not the school-yard long division you so fondly remember.

Checksum methods will calculate the total bits in a packet of data and include that total checksum amount when the data is sent over communication lines. The receiver will then look at the packet, read the checksum value and then perform the same calculation to make sure everything adds up. The problem is a high probability that somewhere between the sender and receiver the bits of data are changed, corrupted or swapped yet still turn a correct checksum value after calculation on the receiving end.
