■ JDF compatibility

Thanks to compatibility with JDF, a standard format for the display and transfer of jobs between printing processes, the operator can use familiar CTP workflow RIPs such as APOGEE, EQUIOS and Prinergy*1 for a hybrid workflow with a seamlessly connected offset printer. Digital printing thus becomes an offset printing option that enables more flexible handling.

Ecological Design

■ Energy-saving design

In addition to the energy-saving performance targeted by Simitri HDE, an optimised fusing process reduces fusing temperatures to reduce energy use.

■ Environmentally considerate materials

Using a high combination of recycled resins and bioplastics, resources are effectively used and environmentally considerate materials are actively employed. A lead-free shaft is also adopted to protect the environment as well as the user’s health.
