Feature-packed imagePRESS V1000 & imagePRESS V900
With a strong emphasis on task automation, the imagePRESS V1000 helps PSPs ensure colour repeatability and registration alignment effortlessly. The Inline Spectrophotometers (ILS) allow operators to easily perform advanced colour adjustments such as engine linearisation, colour profile creation, calibration, and colour validation in a short span of time with minimal operator intervention. In addition, a new Precision Registration Technology helps operators ensure the alignment of duplexed sheets remains accurate and consistent during long production runs.
The imagePRESS V1000 also has a strong front-end controller options: the imagePRESS Server D3000. Powered by the Fiery FS500 Pro system software, the imagePRESS Server D3000 adds new functionalities, including familiar workflow and prepress features. In addition, the Express Media Colour Manager and Auto Recall combined with the ILS deliver swift colour management on an intuitive interface.
Integrated with POD-SURF (Surface Rapid Fusing), the imagePRESS V1000 effectively maintains a consistent print speed of 100 ppm on coated and heavy media types up to 400g/m2 (gsm), sustaining high efficiency when printing complex and mixed media jobs. When used with the Bypass trays, the optional Multi-Drawer Paper Deck boost the paper input capabilities to create a wide array of premium applications. With remote alerts, operators can change media and toner and remove toner waste while keeping the imagePRESS V1000 running for maximum productivity.
The imagePRESS V1000 features an innovative cooling system that cools paper immediately after fixing it. Minimising the risk of warping, sticking or bricking, the new cooling system ensures optimum print quality and avoids potential waste for the best cost-efficiency. Moreover, a new transfer technology creates the ideal transport path for each sheet of paper during the printing process and ensures even colour distribution when operators switch between media types with different weights during printing.
On the other hand, the imagePRESS V900 series produces monthly print volumes of up to 500,000 A4 pages, and consists of three different entry-level models, the V900, V800 and V700 with print speeds of up to 90/80/70 A4 pages/minute respectively. Built to meet the needs of varied production environments, the imagePRESS V900 series delivers superb versatility by incorporating the latest technology that adjusts the suction force before fixing according to different paper weights, stabilising the transport of thick paper.
The imagePRESS V900 series also includes feed rollers and strengthened transport rollers to improve the transport stability for thin, thick, and short paper, expanding the variety of high-quality applications printable on the press. The versatile series supports a wide array of media ranging from 52g/m2 (gsm) plain and 70g/m2 (gsm) coated to 350g/m2 (gsm) thick media, narrow envelopes, auto-duplex 762mm and simplex 1.3m banners, as well as embossed and synthetic paper.
Eliminating the need for highly skilled operators, the imagePRESS V900 series incorporates new time- and labour-saving automation features that ensure ease of use. The inclusion of an optional Duplex Colour Image Reader Unit allows the press to make rapid pre-print adjustments to front and back registration, colour gradation and density, as well as secondary transfer voltage to ensure high-quality production even on textured media. PSPs can simply run printed adjustment charts through the Automatic Document Feeder, a part of the Duplex Colour Image Reader Unit, and the press makes the required adjustments automatically. Other time-saving features on the imagePRESS V900 series include remote alerts that inform operators when consumables run low.
