Canon introduces entry-level color server optimized for business applications.SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 1997-- New ColorPASS 320 and CLC (The Computer Language Company Inc.) The publisher of this Encyclopedia. See About this product. 320 Offer the Most Affordable and Productive System for Network Workgroups Canon U.S.A., Inc., today continued to set the industry standard for the most advanced, affordable color imaging technology on the market by introducing the ColorPASS 320. When combined with the CLC 320 color copier/printer, the system provides the most affordable, expandable, photographic-quality color printing “colour separation” redirects here. For other uses, see colour-separation overlay. Color printing is the reproduction of an image or text in color (as opposed to simpler black and white or monochrome printing). solution for the corporate, small business and print-for-pay markets. "For years, advanced color imaging and output technologies have remained out of reach for the majority of corporations and businesses across America. Today, with the introduction of the ColorPASS 320, that reality has just changed," said Robert Bryson, executive vice president and general manager of Canons Imaging Systems Group. "This system offers many advantages over multiple desktop color solutions currently available, including high productivity, better image quality and increased paper handling characteristics. It is truly a better value for network workgroups and business applications." RIP Compression Technology Plus Laser Output Produces Fast, Versatile Printing The ColorPASS 320, designed in conjunction with Electronics for Imaging, Inc, (EFI See UEFI. EFI - Extensible Firmware Interface ), incorporates technologies used in both EFI's market-leading Fiery XJ(TM) color servers and Fiery XJ(TM) controllers to offer the most advanced color I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished and printing technologies.

RIP- While-Print and Continuous Print functions further increase productivity while a 2.1GB hard drive is provided for local storage of processed pages and fonts. Precision Color Image A (digital) color image is a digital image that includes color information for each pixel. For visually acceptable results, it is necessary (and almost sufficient) to provide three samples (color channels Manipulation & Job Management On An Open System "Color is indispensable to effective business communications. The CLC/ColorPASS 320 brings a new level of performance in color printing at an unbeatable price point that's affordable for any office environment," said Dan Avida, president and chief executive officer of EFI. "EFI and Canon together offer a wide range of digital color printing solutions -- from desktop models to production level systems -- that feature a consistent user experience and outstanding performance and quality. The CLC/ColorPASS 320 rounds out the product line with an entry-level system that's perfectly tailored for business applications." The CLC/ColorPASS 320's already "real-life" color image processing and output capabilities can be further honed and specified with included software to calibrate To adjust or bring into balance. Scanners, CRTs and similar peripherals may require periodic adjustment. Unlike digital devices, the electronic components within these analog devices may change from their original specification.

The four-color process requires four separations: cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK). See OPI and DCS. tables and color rendering dictionaries (CRDs). The integrated system, supporting most network platforms and protocols through Auto Sensing/Switching ports and built-in Ethernet, enables PC, Macintosh and Unix users to remotely manage and control all aspects of a job, as well as other Canon color imaging systems in an open environment, via a robust, simplified cross-platform interface.
