Product benefits

Vibrant colour

Advanced colour laser printing technology delivers brilliant colour
output every time. With a native print resolution of 600 x 600 dpi,
your colour documents will always look sharp. Plus you can get
crisp graphics, text, and photos with true-to-life colour with the
automatic colour space and image correction technology which
allows the printer to choose the most suitable colour imaging
process based on the document content. Amazing colour image
quality is possible thanks to our advanced emulsion aggregation
process which produces smaller, more controllable toner particles
than traditional, mechanically produced toners and has super
fine distribution.
