High-Speed Capability, Accurate, Quality Color Reproduction
PMA 2000, LAS VEGAS, NV, February 3, 2000 - Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc. is unveiling the new Fujifilm Digital Color Printer NC-600D, a compact, high-speed printer that incorporates Fujifilm's exclusive Thermo-Autochrome printing technology. Producing a single image in 35 seconds, the Digital Color Printer NC-600D is one of the fastest printers in its category and is ideal for service bureaus, photo labs and business offices.
Thermo-Autochrome printing is an environmentally friendly, single-sheet process that requires no inks, toners or ribbons and is similar to the technology used in conventional photography where the dyes are formed in the paper. Producing prints at 320-dpi resolution, the Digital Color Printer NC-600D provides greater color saturation and superior print quality when compared to similar ink jet and laser printers. Its 256 gradations each of cyan, magenta and yellow produce up to 16.7 million colors - a spectrum that can reproduce the hues and tonality of the original image.
"The Digital Color Printer NC-600D's ability to recreate the quality and color of an original image with such accuracy makes it stand out from other printers in its category," said Tom Cuffari, Vice President, Sales, Digital Imaging Division, Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc. "The printer is ideal for businesses that frequently need to make large quantities of prints and demand the quality that this printer delivers."
For easy handling and efficiency the Digital Color Printer NC-600D has a dual cartridge, allowing for the insertion of two rolls of paper. For example, an operator can load a roll of regular printing paper into one cartridge and sticker paper in another for the added convenience of switching from one roll to the next without a time-consuming paper change. And since it handles rolls of paper instead of sheets, the Digital Color Printer NC-600D can produce 5-inch wide prints up to 10.5 inches in length.
Measuring 13.0" (W) x 12.6" (H) x 14.6" (D) and weighing 53 pounds, Fujifilm's Digital Color Printer NC-600D will be available May 2000.
