The InfoPrint 5000 can address requirements
for speed, quality, reliability and ease of use for
transactional printers, service bureaus, direct
mailers and book printers with AFP, PostScript
or PDF color applications. The new AFP mod-
els support the open industry-standard AFP
color management architecture published by
the AFP Consortium (www.AFPColor.org) to
provide accurate, consistent and device-
independent color rendering. These new
models use a powerful and scalable InfoPrint
Solutions cluster-based printer controller
that can drive parallel AFP or Adobe®
PostScript RIPS and deliver high-speed
printing to meet customer needs using
IBM blade technology. InfoPrint 5000
applications can be driven by InfoPrint
ProcessDirector or InfoPrint Manager.
The InfoPrint 5000 uses piezo-electric dropon-demand inkjet print head technology. The
InfoPrint 5000 only jets ink when it’s needed
on the paper. With this technology, ink is never
recycled or reconstituted. Color depth is
achieved at the print head with 2 bits per spot
and the use of multiple drop sizes. High quality,
water-based pigment or dye ink systems can
meet a broad range of applications. The printing speed ranges from 209.9 feet/minute
(64 meters/minute)
