Digital Output Devices: A Digital Printing Redux
Delphax, originally (and still best) known for its monochrome check printing capability, demonstrated its Elan color digital inkjet system, using multiple Memjet print heads to produce full-color, 1,600 dpi output at speeds up to 500 images/min. The sheetfed Elan 500 introduced at the show is being positioned as an affordable inkjet option for commercial and in-plant printers focusing on direct mail, transpromo and booklet printing.
