Thursday 18. February 2010 - Six New Monochrome Cutsheet Printers Bring High Performance Solutions to Transactional and Print On Demand (POD) Customers in Latin America

InfoPrint Solutions Company, a joint venture between IBM and Ricoh, today announced the addition of six new models to its monochrome cutsheet portfolio, bringing high performance solutions to transactional and Print On Demand (POD) customers in Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. InfoPrint will launch the six models in Argentina later in 2010.
The InfoPrint Pro 907, InfoPrint Pro 1107 and InfoPrint Pro 1357 printer-only models are designed for users in data centers, service bureaus and in-plant organizations looking to print and finish transactional documents. All three models support the preferred transaction print data stream, native InfoPrint IPDS (Intelligent Printer Datastream), to provide true page-level error recovery. At up to 135 impressions per minute(1) (ipm), and duty cycles of 1.9 million impressions per month(2), they provide fast, dependable, high quality printing while protecting mission-critical variable data.
The new printer/copier models, designated by EX, are ideal for POD jobs. InfoPrint Pro 907EX, InfoPrint Pro 1107EX and InfoPrint Pro 1357EX are fast, powerful, versatile and compact models to handle multiple print applications and workflows, usually in quick turnaround situations. The standard hard drive on these three models can be used to store and manipulate jobs to expedite booklets, utilize variable data and change page order. The POD focused units offer versatile media support, including printing on tabs, coated stock and labels. The EX models also support an external EFI Fiery print server, offering complex job building and print queue manipulation.
All six models are modular and configurable to meet the needs of transaction and POD customers. With fast print speeds, high quality 1200 dpi printing and robust finishing capabilities, there’s no need to outsource jobs any longer. The generous input and output capacities, media decurler unit, TCRU (Trained Customer Replaceable Units) service components and ultrasonic multi-feed detection sensor on all units increase up-time and enable long runs. All models can provide support for multiple datastreams, variable data printing, mixed-plex and mixed-media printing and multiple inline finishing choices to expedite job completion.
