Setting new standards in cut-sheet toner productivity, the imagePRESS V Series is the latest evolution of the hugely successful imagePRESS family. Featuring technological enhancements that take its performance to a new level while making it easier to use, the imagePRESS V Series enables both commercial and in-house print service providers (PSPs) to overcome their production challenges and meet customer demands for high-quality, dynamic print content produced to the tightest deadlines. This article is featured in the latest Sign Africa Journal.
The imagePRESS V900 offers the most extensive range of applications printable on one compact device. Robustly built and with sustainability a consideration, the series has been engineered for continuous, reliable productivity, consistent and stable colour, as well as unbeatable front and back registration accuracy.
The press is ideal for printers producing monthly volumes of up to 500,000 A4 pages. It comes in three models: imagePRESS V900, imagePRESS V800 and imagePRESS V700, reflecting the maximum speed of each – 90ppm, 80ppm and 70ppm – and is made for fast-paced production environments where consistent, high quality, productivity and media choice are required day in and day out.
Not only is it the most compact device in the family, but the imagePRESS V900 also offers a class-leading variety of applications that are printable on a small device, thanks to the media it supports, from 52gsm plain and 70gsm coated to 350gsm thick media, narrow envelopes, as well as auto-duplex 762mm and simplex 1.3m banners and embossed and synthetic paper.
This versatility is supported by the latest vacuum technology that adjusts the suction force according to paper weight, stabilising the transport of thick paper, as well as the inclusion of feed rollers and strengthened transport rollers that improve transport stability for thin, thick and short paper, expanding the range of media that can be used and preventing paper jams.
Removing the need for a highly skilled operator, the imagePRESS V900 incorporates new time and labour-saving automation features that make it easy to use. The inclusion of the optional Duplex Colour Image Reader Unit allows the device to make rapid pre-print adjustments to front and back registration (delivering impressive 0.8mm accuracy), colour gradation, colour density and secondary transfer voltage to ensure high quality even on textured media.
Users simply run printed adjustment charts through the Automatic Document Feeder, part of the Duplex Colour Image Reader Unit, and the imagePRESS V900 then automatically makes the required adjustments. Other time-saving features on the imagePRESS V900 include remote alerts to tell operators when consumables are running low.
The imagePRESS V series features controls for maintaining colour consistency in real time and is available with options that include the Sensing Unit and Inspection Unit for further automation of quality control tasks. The series offers more automated features, a broad range of feeding and finishing options, and easy workflow integration.
Using print management applications such as PRISMAsync Remote Manager to remotely submit, monitor and manage jobs across one or more presses and PRISMAlytics Dashboard to get insights, monitor and analyse Key Performance Indicators, users can boost profitability with optimised print performance and benefit from reduced manual intervention, less waste and increased productivity. And with more freedom in production, they can take on new print volumes, offer more support to customers and help grow their business.
The imagePRESS V900 has been designed with the environment as a key consideration, meeting the highest standards of energy efficiency:
● It is ENERGY STAR certified.
● It has received EPEAT Gold from the EPEAT Registry, the global rating system for greener electronics.
● It uses induction heating technology, which is notable for its energy efficiency, uniform heat distribution and fast time-to-temperature. This means the toner is fused quickly but without overheating the paper.
The multiple time and labour-saving automation features reduce the specialised skills needed to operate the technology, while automated remote and on-device alerts inform the operator if consumables are running low, so that unscheduled stops and slowdowns are a thing of the past.
Multi-Density Adjustment Technology (Multi-D.A.T.) automatically corrects and delivers consistent and stable colour on every page, without any operator intervention.
The Multi-Drawer Paper Deck E1 with the Paper Deck Double-Feeding Detection Kit features a multi-feed detection sensor, meaning users don’t need to inspect the printed output for any blank pages. Misfed pages are automatically diverted to the escape tray, preventing paper jams.
Users can simply run printed adjustment charts through the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) to automatically make pre-print adjustments without the operator needing any specialised knowledge or skills. The optional Sensing Unit automatically monitors registration and colour settings for the job, calibrates the settings before printing and maintains them throughout the print run, saving time and waste, and maintaining productivity.
