INFOPRINT 4100
Advanced generation of digital publishing
and transactional production printing
extends the benchmark in print quality,
performance and productivity
The InfoPrint® 4100 Advanced Function Printing
System is a next-generation digital publishing
and transactional production output solution.
This continuous forms printer can produce the
high image and text quality traditionally avail-
able only from cutsheet solutions and can print
on a wide range of paper. In addition, the
InfoPrint 4100 provides one of the highest
speeds currently available for electrophoto-
graphic printers and allows users to produce
more output with fewer devices and less oper-
ator time.
Enterprise production centers printing state-
ments, TransPromo or publications can
reduce operation costs with the higher speed
and the flexibility of integrated pinfed

or
pinless

printing—all while providing a high
level of print quality for text, graphics and
images for a competitive advantage.
Book printers can use the InfoPrint 4100 to
help reduce the costs of printing short run
books or technical manuals. Direct mailers and
service bureaus can lower costs by running a
broad range of paper weights at higher speeds.
MICR is available at ultra high speeds, adding
flexibility for customers to run all applications
on the same production platform at maximum
throughput.
UNCOMPROMISING PRINT QUALITY
Providing one of the highest levels of image
and text quality currently available at this

an integrated optical density feedback system
for sharp, clear images and text, job after job.
