Lanier Launches Three Innovative Hybrid Printers with Exclusive Gel Ink Technology
GX3000/3050N/5050N Offer the Convenience of Inkjet with the Speed and Economy of Laser
ATLANTA—AUG
2006–Lanier Worldwide, Inc. today introduced the Lanier GX3000,
GX3050N, and GX5050N GelSprinter(TM) printers, three hybrid desktop
printers that deliver up to 29 or 30 pages per minute (ppm) in color or
black-and-white with image quality up to an equivalent of 3,600 x 1,200
dpi. All three feature innovative gel ink technology, and will be
available immediately.”These revolutionary desktop printers completely
transform the dynamics of inkjet printing,” said Dominic Pontrelli,
vice president of Marketing for Lanier. “Traditionally, end-users
expect inkjet printers to have a low purchase price and high ease of
use, but with expensive supplies and color quality that is, at best,
merely adequate for business documents. GelSprinter(TM) printers from
Lanier solve this problem, combining the best qualities of inkjet and
laser systems to deliver high-quality color at a very affordable price
— without compromising reliability or end-user convenience.”The GX3000
prints up to 29 ppm in stand-alone configurations. The GX3050N has the
same speed, but adds network connectivity. The GX5050N is slightly
faster at 30 ppm, and features a 33% higher duty cycle, optional
high-capacity paper tray, and optional high-yield gel ink cartridges.
Like inkjet printers, the GX3000/3050N/5050N printers cost less to
acquire than a low-volume desktop laser printer. Plus, they offer a
comparable cost per page to laser printers for both full-color and
monochrome output, which is dramatically lower than conventional inkjet
systems.”These printers provide very low total cost of ownership and
the ability to deliver laser-like color quality,” Pontrelli said. “They
are rewriting the rules of inkjet printing. The key is GelSprinter(TM)
technology, which brings together a stunning array of innovations in a
simple desktop design.”Specifically, GelSprinter(TM) technology
involves pigment-based inks suspended in a viscous gel that bonds with
the page like toner and allows the ink to “sit up” on the page. The
formulation also minimizes dot spreading, sharpens color images,
prevents bleed-through, and dries immediately on contact with air to
eliminate smudging. In addition, GelSprinter(TM) technology utilizes a
belt-driven feeding mechanism that reduces curling and helps prevent
misfeeds. The printers also feature piezo-electric printheads that can
print two lines simultaneously and never need to be replaced.”With all
of these advances, Lanier GelSprinter(TM) printers solve all of the
maintenance and image quality issues typically associated with inkjet
printers,” Pontrelli said. “The results are outstanding business color
and monochrome documents for a wide range of low-volume applications.”
