CHROMIRA 5x 50

With the ability to image 50" wide prints full bleed, and with unlimited imaging length, the Chromira 5x 50 is ideally suited for Custom and Commercial imagers. Plus, the Chromira 5x 50 printer delivers accelerated large-format imaging speed (16 IPM) and, unlike some expensive laser printers, it can handle high volumes of individual image files for the most efficient workflow in the world.

Chromira5x™ marks another leapfrog in large format LED digital printing technology. With ZBE's new 5x Imaging Technology, the most affordable large format LED printer in the world becomes the fastest.

Throughput:
Operation of the printer workflow is highly optimized for maximum print throughput and fully unattended operation. The usual "front end" bottleneck is eliminated by giving each workstation on the network full control of the usual "front end" functions.

Print files may be printed from any location on the network. No machine operator is required for printing. Printing begins immediately and proceeds as the file is received over the network. The print file need not be fully received at the printer to begin printing. Worst case network delays will cause the printer to pause with no resulting artifact in the print and no loss of print
quality.

The user interface for submitting jobs and controlling printing parameters is refined for high throughput and particular ease of use. Each workstation submitting jobs to the printer can control all printing parameters as well as monitor the queue of work being printed.

Each workstation has full control of: print size, image rotation, print job priority, borders, text notes on prints, color balance, number of prints.

Optional WorkStream software package offers the on-the-fly imaging capabilities of Workstation with such additional benefits as packaging, order management, production tracking and the
integration of labs and their customers, which streamlines workflow and maximizes productivity.
