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
6
or
pinless
6
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
speed in continuous forms printing, the
InfoPrint 4100’s hardware enhancements
include technological advancements in printhead, developer and fusing mechanisms, plus
an integrated optical density feedback system
for sharp, clear images and text, job after job.

TIME- AND MONEY-SAVING
FEATURES:
●
The InfoPrint POWER Controller™, standard on all models, incorporates superb
functionality and performance, featuring
state-of-the-art RISC technology supporting object caching, parallel multi-RIP processing and color emulation.
●
The graphical, easy-to-use InfoPrint
POWER Controller operator panel can do
double duty as an InfoPrint Manager
workstation, so operations managers can
log on and manage print jobs and
queues from the print room. Authorized
operators can preview job queues from
the printer console and prepare for
upcoming form changes.
●
New InfoPrint toner further improves
print quality and media flexibility at ultra
high speeds (available for 4100-HS3 and
HD5/HD6 models). Standard fusing toners offer superior fuse grade, uniform
solid area fill and exceptional barcode
read rate.

can allow you to define and capture
most printer and pre- and post-processor
events to provide data for full accounting
of the operation.
●
Operators can switch between pinfed
and pinless printing for the greatest print
job flexibility and full printer utilization.
Auto-load and auto-align functions provide fast, easy paper threading for both
pinfed and pinless operations. Recent
enhancements have improved pinless
printing operation.
