Description
The NeXT ColorPrinter offers high-quality coloroutput, with the ability to print on
tabloid-size paper,at the cost of most black-and-white PostScript laser printers.
The NeXT™ Color Printer offers laser-quality, 360 x 360 dot-per-inch (dpi) performance
for stunning color output. Designed to print from letter size up to 11″ x 17,” the printer is
ideal for business and presentation graphics, technical illustrations, and color publishing
requiring two-up printing capability.
Utilizing the same PostScript® Level II implemented in NeXTstep™ Release 3, the NeXT
Color Printer assures that your output is an accurate reproduction of the screen image. And
any PostScript font available on your NeXT computer is available for printing on the NeXT
Color Printer, even in color.
The NeXT Color Printer provides the highest-quality output on light-coated ink-jet paper,
but will also print on plain typing bond paper and letter-size transparencies. Together, the
NeXTstation™ Color computer and NeXT Color Printer offer a powerful, yet affordable,
color system.
360 x 360 dot-per-inch high-resolution color ouput
Provides laser-quality output with the stunning impact of full color.
The high resolution assures that not only graphics are produced accurately, also small and large
text and line art.
Print media size flexibility Lets you print not only on traditional letter-size paper, but also allows
you to print up to two letter-size pages side-by-side for proofing or technical drawings.
Cyan, yellow, magenta and black inks
Since this printer utilizes a true black ink, both text and graphics that use
black come out looking far better than printers that support only three
colors. The true black ink also means that pages which utilize black will
print much more quickly than printers that must print three passes to
achieve black.
PostScript Level II imaging Utilizing the very latest in PostScript technology from Adobe, this feature assures that the printer produces high-quality, true-to-life colors.
Color ink cartridges are interchangable individually
Lets you replace only the ink cartridge that has been expended, helping to
reduce the printer’s cost per page. Since most people tend to print a lot of
black, you can replace the black ink more frequently than the other colored
inks.
SCSI-interface to the NeXT computer
This port is designed for high performance. Higher throughput is necessary
with a color printer due to the large amounts of data that is sent to the
printer. This also allows you to have both the NeXT 400 dpi Laser Printer
and the NeXT Color Printer connected to the same computer at the same time.
Personal or sharable Connected to a NeXT computer, you have the full versatility to use the
printer by yourself or to make it accessible to others on the network.
