Excellent versatility
Expanded heavy paper compatibility to 350gsm
With the wide paper weight compatibility, print services including thick paper packages, tags, DMs, sales promotion tools are greatly expanded. The air suction paper feed mechanism incorporated in the feeder enables reliable feeding of thick paper that causes a high transport load. In addition, the enhanced paper catalogue function enables printing on a variety of paper types with ease.
Application for thick paper.
Package samples, name cards, DM, tag, simple photo book, stand menu, promotion materials, etc.
Envelope printing *Optional
Using an Envelope-dedicated Fusing Unit [EF-103], stable and high quality envelope printing is achieved, even when performing high speed printing. In addition, inexpensive, center-glued universal envelopes can be used thanks to less difference in glossiness on the overlapped area, contributing to a reduction of overall printing cost as well.
Enhanced banner printing (up to 1,300mm) and auto duplex banner printing *Optional
A4/Letter x 6-up is possible due to the banner printing capability of 840mm or longer, enabling production of A4 x four-fold catalogues and book jackets for A4 landscape booklets, etc. at high productivity that far exceeds large format inkjet printers. In addition, an auto duplex banner printing function is available that can accept a maximum of 762mm long, allowing efficient print work for the production of A4/letter size tri-fold menus, pamphlets and catalogues. These superior features help differentiate print services from others.
Newly adopted options for effective banner printing *Optional
The newly-adopted LU-202XLm that can continuously feed max. 1,000 sheets of 762mm banner format enables efficient banner printing including book covers, three-fold menus, etc. In addition, connecting the optional “MK-740m” enhances operability during high volume output.
Technologies to support the versatility & high quality
Stabilised developer activity reduces image degradation
A new carrier is supplied together with the toner to refresh the carrier in the developer, stabilising the developer condition to maintain high image quality throughout the system lifetime. This auto-refining system is available for all four colours, realising highly stable and quality image reproduction in full colour printing. The longer developer life also minimises downtime.
Auto-calibration system
An output paper density adjustment function to correct gradation density to match output paper characteristics is equipped. Adjustments are performed using the paper actually used to enable accurate gradation adjustment matched to the paper characteristics. Fifteen different correction values for different paper types or screens can be set. A mode that measures secondary colour (RGB) in addition to CMYK as target colours has been added to further enhance accuracy.
Sophisticated media handling by new relay unit RU-518 *Optional
Major functions of RU-518
- Real-time curl adjustments
- Detailed curl adjustments in 20 steps
- Enhanced curl adjustments for thin paper
- Newly-added paper jam purge function
- Furnished with paper cooling function
■Real time curl adjustment
Real-time curl correction is made possible by adding a Relay Unit [RU-518] to the system. Paper curl can be adjusted very precisely in 20 steps. This provides flat surface prints without interrupting print operation, and reduces the workload and waste in post-processing.
■Hybrid decurl system
The hybrid decurling mechanism using two functions can be configured by adding a Humidifier Kit [HM-103] to the Relay Unit [RU-518] on which a mechanical decurler is already mounted in standard. The humidifying function cools down the sheet that was heated in the fusing unit, and provides moisture lost from the sheet back to reduce the stiffness for effective curl adjustment. This not only corrects the curl but also provide an expectation for removal of static electricity, which substantially contributes to the work efficiency in off-line post processing. The replenishing water for the humidifier is easily supplied from upper part of the RU-518 during printing.
