Brother's X-Series MFC-J6957DW is the company's flagship large-format inkjet MFP and offers busy workgroups a sizeable range of print, copy, scan and fax features for a very modest outlay.
It has an impressive capacity, with three 250-sheet A3-sized cassettes plus a 100-page A3 multi-purpose tray (MPT) and tops these off with an A3 colour flatbed scanner partnered by a 50-page duplex automatic document feeder (ADF).
Speeds for A4 printing have been improved, boosting the 22ppm of the MFC-J6947DW to 30ppm, and its daily duty cycle gets a 75% increase to 3,500 pages. It's well connected, too; it can be hooked up over USB, 10/100 Ethernet or 802.11a/n 5GHz wireless, and there's built-in support for NFC, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint and a heap of cloud services.
Another winning attribute is its laser-beating running costs. Brother supplies the MFC-J6957DW with a full set of standard ink cartridges, although during installation it has to prime its ink reservoirs so the first set will have a reduced print capacity. Once they've dried up, move to the high-yield versions and you'll only be paying 1p for a mono A4 page and 4.5p for a colour one – plus you can enable Brother's Secure Function Lock feature to control colour usage for each user.
While the reservoirs are filling, you can download Brother's generic setup utility, choose your model and leave it to load the drivers and firmware update tool. It also installs Brother's iPrint&Scan Windows desktop utility, which uses workflows for one-tap print and scan operations, and you can add the free Nuance PaperPort 14 SE document management software.
Brother's Secure Cloud Print portal lets you remotely print PDFs, images and Office documents using a browser. To do this, you simply bookmark the URL displayed in the colour touchscreen, choose a file, send it and release it within 24 hours at the printer using the six-digit PIN generated by the portal.
Remote printing features include Brother's Email Print service. After enabling this from the MFP's web console, it creates a unique address to which you can email attachments from anywhere. Mobile workers get in on the act too, with Brother's Mobile Connect iOS and Android apps providing scan-to-mobile devices plus remote print services.
Scan features are equally versatile and include sending scans to PCs with Brother's software installed, network shares, email, FTP or SharePoint servers, as well as direct-to-email addresses registered at the touchscreen. Cloud destinations are simple to set up using Brother's Web Connect portal. You can choose OneNote, OneDrive, Box, Google Drive, Evernote or Dropbox, add your account details, enter the unique 11-digit code provided at the printer's touchscreen and PIN-protect each account.
We found the top speed is achievable only for mono printing using the driver's Normal setting and drops substantially when higher resolutions are selected. Our 30-page test Word document returned 30ppm in Normal mode but only 2.1ppm in Best mode, while our challenging 24-page colour DTP test print was delivered at 20ppm and 1.8ppm respectively. 
That said, print quality in Normal mode is fine for general office use. Text is sharp and clean at 12pt font sizes, while mono photos reveal plenty of detail in darker areas. Colour output quality is also impressive: the smooth transitions across complex colour fades in our test charts translated into high-quality reports and detailed photos, with no banding evident in large single-colour blocks.
The printer handles A3 poster printing exceedingly well. Using the rear MPT tray, our A3 colour poster took only ten seconds in Normal mode on 80gsm paper and 62 seconds in Best mode on 220gsm heavyweight card, with the rich colour quality of Brother's ink making them vibrant and eye-catching.
Print speeds are variable, but Brother's MFC-J6957DW makes up for this with an astonishing range of features. Ideally suited to SMBs on a tight budget, this affordable large-format inkjet delivers low running costs, good output quality and the best cloud and mobile support.

NAKHON SI THAMMARAT, THAILAND – 2020/03/23: Workers unload fish from a trawler in a Khanom port. … [+] (Photo by Thierry Falise/LightRocket via Getty Images)
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has launched an app that aims to help food supply chains become more transparent.
The transparenC app (available for both Android and iOS devices) and web portal is the world’s first open-source traceability software for any kind of food supply chain.
It can be used anywhere by farmers, buyers and retailers without paying licensing fees to ensure transparency and accountability across all stages of food production.
The app has been co-developed with Republic Systems.
The WWF’s global network lead for aquaculture, Aaron McNevin told Forbes the genesis for the app was the issues faced by shrimp farmers in Thailand, who could not get the source of the fish meal they were using to meet certification requirements.
McNevin said the seafood supply chains are particularly complicated because of the number of small owners involved, who make traceability more difficult and therefore increase the risks involved for retailers who purchase their products.
“We wanted to really break the cost barrier for electronic traceability systems,” he told Forbes. “And we’ve been trying to work with those retailers that truly do want to know what their supply chains look like, that want to dig in and get the information, and then have a greater understanding of any risks involved.
He added the app works by creating a series of nodes for all the people or companies involved in the supply chain. Each user is required to upload either documents or pictures to the various nodes, which administrators at the top of the chain can check and verify.
“Because we’re dealing so far upstream in the supply chain, we’re not necessarily asking for grandiose documentation,” he explains. “What we’re trying to do is connect all the actors in the process.
“For the farmers, there’s typically only one or two requirements that just require them to take a picture of one document or another, then they get greenlit and they can pass that on to the person that’s buying from them.
“The person who is buying from them then has to reconfirm the information by tagging, and that just follows down the supply chain. The buyers don’t need all of the information, but they need to have access to all of the information that is available.
“So, when it gets to the point of export, a supply chain tree is populated. You can see the whole tree and if you need to dig deeper, you can dig in each one of those nodes.”
The app has already been tested with seafood supply chains in Vietnam, Thailand and India and palm oil producers in Honduras, but McNevin said it will work for any food supply chain, like dairy or beef.
He said the added transparency the app will bring will also help “decouple” habitat conversion from food production that is occurring all over the world.
“Traceability in complex supply chains, especially in the developing world, will not be solved with high-tech solutions,” he added.
“Instead, by focusing on cost-effective tools that help organize and link supply chain actors together, we’ll begin to achieve traceability results that deliver big impact. That’s why we developed transparenC – to break down barriers to advancing traceability and make it accessible to all.”
The founder of Republic Systems, Robert Hughes said they became involved with the project because the “need for mobile technology for first-mile actors fits well with our capabilities and we believe sustainability is a moral imperative”.
Hughes added: “By building the apps with open source libraries and creating a unique user experience for imaging, offline, and trace map, transparenC allows for users on vessels/farms to build complex traces using simple apps with no license fees. We are excited to continue with World Wildlife Fund in bringing this important tech to suppliers who strive for true sustainability.”

Data annotation, or the process of adding labels to images, text, audio and other forms of sample data, is typically a key step in developing AI systems. The vast majority of systems learn to make predictions by associating labels with specific data samples, like the caption “bear” with a photo of a black bear. A system trained on many labeled examples of different kinds of contracts, for example, would eventually learn to distinguish between those contracts and even extrapolate to contracts that it hasn’t seen before.
The trouble is, annotation is a manual and labor-intensive process that’s historically been assigned to gig workers on platforms like Amazon Mechanical Turk. But with the soaring interest in AI — and in the data used to train that AI — an entire industry has sprung up around tools for annotation and labeling.
Dataloop, one of the many startups vying for a foothold in the nascent market, today announced that it raised $33 million in a Series B round led by Nokia Growth Partners (NGP) Capital and Alpha Wave Global. Dataloop develops software and services for automating aspects of data prep, aiming to shave time off of the AI system development process.
“I worked at Intel for over 13 years, and that’s where I met Dataloop’s second co-founder and CPO, Avi Yashar,” Dataloop CEO Eran Shlomo told TechCrunch in an email interview. “Together with Avi, I left Intel and founded Dataloop. Nir [Buschi], our CBO, joined us as third co-founder, after he held executive positions [at] technology companies and [lead] business and go-to-market at venture-backed startups.”
Dataloop initially focused on data annotation for computer vision and video analytics. But in recent years, the company has added new tools for text, audio, form and document data and allowed customers to integrate custom data applications developed in-house.
One of the more recent additions to the Dataloop platform is data management dashboards for unstructured data. (As opposed to structured data, or data that’s arranged in a standardized format, unstructured data isn’t organized according to a common model or schema.) Each provides tools for data versioning and searching metadata, as well as a query language for querying datasets and visualizing data samples.

“All AI models are learned from humans through the data labeling process. The labeling process is essentially a knowledge encoding process in which a human teaches the machine the rules using positive and negative data examples,” Shlomo said. “Every AI application’s primary goal is to create the ‘data flywheel effect’ using its customer’s data: a better product leads to more users leads to more data and subsequently a better product.”
Dataloop competes against heavyweights in the data annotation and labeling space, including Scale AI, which has raised over $600 million in venture capital. Labelbox is another major rival, having recently nabbed more than $110 million in a financing round led by SoftBank. Beyond the startup realm, tech giants, including Google, Amazon, Snowflake and Microsoft, offer their own data annotation services.
Dataloop must be doing something right. Shlomo claims the company currently has “hundreds” of customers across retail, agriculture, robotics, autonomous vehicles and construction, although he declined to reveal revenue figures.
An open question is whether Dataloop’s platform solves some of the major challenges that exist in data labeling today. Last year, a paper published out of MIT found that data labeling tends to be highly inconsistent, potentially harming the accuracy of AI systems. A growing body of academic research suggests that annotators introduce their own biases when labeling data — for example, labeling phrases in African American English (a modern dialect spoken primarily by Black Americans) as more toxic than the general American English equivalents. These biases often manifest in unfortunate ways; think moderation algorithms that are more likely to ban Black users than white users.
Data labelers are also notoriously underpaid. The annotators who contributed captions to ImageNet, one of the better-known open source computer vision libraries, reportedly made a median of $2 per hour in wages.
Shlomo says it’s incumbent on the companies using Dataloop’s tools to affect change — not necessarily Dataloop itself.
“We see the underpayment of annotators as a market failure. Data annotation shares many qualities with software development, one of them being the impact of talent on productivity,” Shlomo said. “[As for bias,] bias in AI starts with the question that the AI developer chooses to ask and the instructions they supply to the labeling companies. We call it the ‘primary bias.’ For example, you could never identify color bias unless you ask for skin color in your labeling recipe. The primary bias issue is something the industry and regulators should address. Technology alone will not solve the issue.”
To date, Dataloop, which has 60 employees, has raised $50 million in venture capital. The company plans to grow its workforce to 80 employees by the end of the year.

Your small business needs a system for managing content and your website, but not everyone has an unlimited budget. Finding the best CMS, though, doesn’t have to break the bank and can, in fact, be free!
The best free CMS software should still meet the same qualifications that you’d have for building a paid site. It should be easy enough to use, and it should produce a professional-looking finished product, making it a CMS software that delivers on the quality you expect of a professional business site.
Your content should match your business. The ability to be dynamic and tailored to your central themes and usability is a must as your business scales and changes. Your CMS should be adaptable in the future and should be able to be set up from day one to feel unique to your own business.
To expand reach, your content needs to be seen. The best way to get in front of the most eyes and be discovered by new audiences is to rank in search engine algorithms.
By being set up for SEO success right away, your CMS lets you build a site that looks good and functions as you want it to, while still drawing in visitors for you without any extra work, money, or time spent.
The bottom line is that you’re going to be using your CMS on an almost-daily basis, so it needs to be easy and comfortable for you to use. The learning curve should be manageable, the setup not too stressful, and ongoing maintenance easy enough to do. No crazy coding or hard-to-navigate dashboards here!
The right CMS application can be free. Keeping in mind essential qualities and expected deliverables, these are our favorite free CMS options.
WordPress started as the premier blogging platform but has grown to be the top free, open-source CMS website.
As a leading web builder, WordPress is not only free as-is (which is pretty expansive), but it also offers over 50,000 plugins, covering everything from upgraded themes to creating landing pages, social media marketing, and almost anything else you can imagine or want.
Because it’s open-source, WordPress is free to use and build your site on. Plus, it’s also a flexible and scalable option. Uploading and managing media are easy tasks, and you can even embed links and highlight video content.
When it comes to editing, you have the simplicity of dragging and dropping content blocks and media into the library while storing them safely and populating them directly into your web pages.
You can also preview your pages before setting them live, so you know everything will look and flow just right.

WordPress has several free options for themes and customization that can modify your entire site and theme from one hub, rather than page by page. Efficiency and customizability are high on WordPress’ list.

Weebly may have paid plans, but it also has a free tier that doesn’t sacrifice its efficiency or ease of use and still has many features. The library of templates is continuously updating and stays dynamic.
You have several choices (free options included) that are easy to design and look super professional. Weebly sites are automatically optimized for desktop and mobile viewing, too, for SEO purposes and easy viewing.

Weebly’s standard themes are eye-catching and easy to customize. Also, you can opt to pay for a more extensively designed third-party theme template. Image source: Author
Though Weebly’s first paid option is super affordable (a mere $6 per month when billed annually), it also has a free basic plan you can use for as long as you want.

Wix is similar to Weebly because it has paid plans, too, and gives you an unlimited free option.
Whether paid or free, though, you have access to beautiful designs, either via template or by building them through its drag-and-drop builder. The dashboard is intuitive and easy to understand, and, best of all, you need to know precisely zero coding to use any part of Wix.
This system loves customization. You can develop your entire site theme and color palette around a central logo and by answering a few questions about your business, getting a professional-looking site up in no time. Ongoing management of content is a breeze since editing is just as easy as building.

The Wix color picker is almost magical, making life easier for creatives everywhere. Image source: Author
Wix does have those paid options, but since there is a long-term free option, you can use Wix for free forever.

Prioritizing a lack of clutter and a streamlined solution, Bolt is an open-source, free CMS determined to provide an efficient system. It’s made by front-end developers who know what it takes to make something easy to use.
The design is modern, and the tools are intuitive. It allows you to focus on creating pages, editing content, and producing deliverables rather than learning a ton of coding or backend technology.
The lack of bells and whistles means that what it does do, it does really well. And those functions (managing content, creating a dynamic user experience, seeing top-line analytics, etc.) are essential in a good CMS.

Bolt’s file system is organized and free of clutter. Image source: Author
The templates look pretty professional, and setting it all up is quick and easy. Another great feature is its page loading time, as the content is designed to load up quickly. Though there is some coding involved, you don’t need to do anything from scratch. Managing it is easy and stress-free.

Yet another open-source CMS, Drupal has a large, knowledgeable community of designers, developers, editors, builders, etc. It’s great for hosting sites that are large and tend to need a lot of bandwidth, have constant uptime, and present a professional look.
Drupal is also super flexible, so you can adapt your site to almost any use and have it scale as your business grows. You will most likely need to hire a developer to get it set up, as this option is not code-free. You’ll need to build the infrastructure, but after it’s built, it’s pretty easy to manage and use on an ongoing basis.
There are many themes and site customizations you can decide to use, and every theme auto optimizes for mobile as well as desktop so that you can capture the widest audience.
Building pages involves that beloved drag-and-drop capability, so site building and page editing are relatively straightforward. There’s also no coding involved in editing and uploading content.

Despite some initial development costs, Drupal stays afloat as a free builder that’s easy enough to use.

A good CMS can cost a lot, or it can cost almost nothing. Despite shelling out $0, you can set yourself up with a system that’s rich in features, functions, scalability, and flexibility.
Though open-source, free plans lack dedicated account management. However, there is usually a vast wealth of online resources that can set you up for any level of success. If your budget is tight, exploring one of these five free options may be your best bet.
Cash back, travel rewards, 0% intro APR financing: all of these can be great credit card perks for business owners. But how do you find the right business credit card for you? There are tons of offers on the market today, and sifting through them to find the right one can be a big hassle. So we've done the hard work for you.
