DRUPA 04 REPORT Digital Printing -- Getting a Quick Impression

Delphax Technologies claims to have set a new benchmark for printing speed in the continuous-feed market with its new CR2000 monochrome printer. It is capable of producing nearly 2,000 8.5x11˝ pages per minute using electron beam imaging.

IBM updated its Infoprint 4100 line of continuous-form printers to provide increased media flexibility (up to 9 pt./225 gsm coated stock), high-speed (up to 1,220 ipm) MICR capability and a productivity tracking feature. In addition, the company announced it is increasing its implementation of open standards, including JDF and PPML, in its Infoprint Manager workflow system along with now supporting Windows-based platforms.
