ineo+ 452: top-end business communication system
Tuesday 06. October 2009 - Patrick Klaus, the DEVELOP product manager responsible for the ineo+ 452/552/652, points to one of the biggest advantages: "These systems deliver such crisp, clear text, contrast-rich images and brilliant colours that youd be forgiven for believing the output comes from a market-leading production printing system.
But whereas other colour systems are relatively expensive when printing in black&white, these ineo+ systems do it at a price you would normally expect from a monochrome machine. The ineo+ 452/552/652 are outstanding solutions for all a companys business communication requirements.”
Brilliant in colour
The output of the new series is easily comparable with that of a production machine. The ultra-fine particles of the systems advanced polymerised toner ensure crisper, clear text and contrast-rich images. Whats more, the optional Fiery controller opens the door to professional-quality colour management, for example with ICC profile support. This is just what advertising agencies or publishing companies need. Incidentally, even if the optional Fiery controller is installed, routine business documents can still be printed on the standard ineo controller, which requires no specialist skills. The twin-controller option opens up completely new opportunities for in-house document production.
Economical to run
There are good reasons for seeing the ineo+ 452/552/652 as a sensible replacement for a conventional monochrome machine. They deliver black&white output just as cheaply and bring the added bonus of first-class colour output. Since these systems offer best-in-class power consumption figures, e.g. through only using power when operating and automatically switching off when not in use, they are also more economical to run than any older machines or comparable systems on the market today.
Good for the environment
The ineo+ 452/552/652 demonstrate DEVELOP is not just paying lip service to ecological principles. These systems come with Blue Angel and Energy Star awards and have, in many ways, a standard-setting environmental profile. Production of the polymerised toner that ensures such brilliant output quality generates 40% fewer CO2 emissions than that of conventional toner. More than 90% of the components can be recycled and the systems low power consumption is just as beneficial to the environment as it is to the owners bottom line.
Strong on data security
Besides the usual security functions, the ineo+ 452/552/652 offer a number of advanced features that take data security onto a higher plane. This comprehensive portfolio of security functions has been rewarded by ISO 15408 EAL3 certification, the industrys highest standard for multifunctional devices. The features include IPsec protocol encryption for safe network communication to and from the device; protection of all HD data against unauthorised use through a standard HDD encryption kit; and authentication via the optional finger vein scanner or non-contact ID card to restrict system access to author ised users.
Fine in finishing
The finishing options available for the ineo+ 452/552/652 reflect the professional quality standards these systems set in other fields such as output quality. They include A3+ booklet-making, precise folding of documents such as invoices*, Z-folding* and stapling of up to 100 sheets. One advantage, for example, is that presentation booklets can be produced in eye-catching quality.
All in all, the ineo+ 452/552/652 from DEVELOP promise to bring a new degree of quality and efficiency to the document workflow process. These newcomers have most certainly raised the bar in the market for top-end business communication systems.
