Digital Printing, Philadelphia Style

Together with Creo, Konica Minolta introduced the new IC-301 controller to drive the bizhub PRO C500. It offers job ticketing and tracking, color management tools, variable data support and a connection to Creo's graphic arts solution.

Nipson showed off its VaryPress 200, which uses Nipson's magnetographic imaging technology. Its cold flash fusing process fuses the toner without heating the substrate. With speeds up to 230 fpm on a printable width of 18.45˝, the VaryPress 200 produces more than 500 letter pages per minute in two-up simplex mode, and double that in two-up duplex mode. It has redesigned print heads, an improved print drum and a new toner formulation, enabling it to print at 600 dpi.
