OLYMPUS, RISO KAGAKU DEVELOP WORLD’S FASTEST FULL-COLOR PRINTER
Olympus Corporation and Riso Kagaku Corporation, have announced the joint development of a high-speed printer based on ink-jet technology.
The new printer, named the ORPHIS HC5000 provides full-color inkjet printing using cyan, magenta, yellow and black ( CMYK ) inks. One line-head unit has been allocated for each Color, and the four units are arranged face-down relative to the fed paper. The printer also has a paper turning mechanism, allowing duplex printing with a single feed action.
Running costs are estimated at 2.5 per page. The printer can accommodate paper sizes from post card up to A3 wide ( 340 mm x 550 mm). It is also possible to print full-color envelopes for direct mail use or to print company name on them, by using specially supplied stationery.
A product launch presentation for the ORPHIS HC5000 is planned for December 9 ( Tuesday ) and December 10 ( Wednesday ), 2003. The event will be held at the Tokyo International Forum.
