(Cost per page based on 5% coverage of each color) MINOLTA-QMS, Inc., today introduced high-speed color laser printing to its broad product line with the new magicolor 3300 series. Delivering full 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution color at up to 26 pages per minute, the magicolor 3300 brings 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). speed to a level never before offered at such an affordable price. Available in two models - the magicolor 3300 EN ($1,999) and duplex-equipped DN ($2,199) - the printers offer excellent price and performance in a high-speed package. "When it comes to color document needs, our customers now have an affordable solution for their dilemma of shortened deadlines, extensive revisions, and tight budgets," said Stephen Fletcher, president and COO for MINOLTA-QMS. "The magicolor 3300 has features normally associated with monochrome-only printers, such as quick speed, simple usability, reliability, and economical operation, creating a color printing package that will help keep customers in the black." Gets Down to Business in the Office Landscape The magicolor 3300 is a versatile high-speed color laser printer developed for business workgroups. It is available in two models - the magicolor 3300 EN and the auto duplex (communications) duplex - Used to describe a communications channel that can carry signals in both directions, in contrast to a simplex channel which only ever carries a signal in one direction. equipped DN. In both configurations, the printer can deliver up to 26 letter-size pages per minute, at 1200 x 1200 dpi, in both color and black and white. "With the magicolor 3300, users can print their documents at the highest resolution on plain paper and won't experience slow downs for best-quality printing," Fletcher noted. It takes more than a fast printer to keep pace with the diversity found in today's busy offices. For this reason the magicolor 3300 has PostScript 3, PCL 6 (including 5e, 5c, and XL), PDF, HP-GL, and line printer emulations to provide broad application compatibility. Additionally, the printer comes with a 450 MHz RISC processor RISC processor [Reduced Instruction Set Computer], computer arithmetic-logic unit that uses a minimal instruction set, emphasizing the instructions used most often and optimizing them for the fastest possible execution. and 256 MB RAM (expandable to 512 MB) for powerful processing and supports an internal 2.1 GB hard disk for fonts and forms storage, direct PDF printing, collation COLLATION, descents.

It adheres to an invisible image that has been charged with the opposite polarity onto a plate or drum or onto the paper itself. placement and accuracy. Quality is also influenced by the printer's custom-engineered chemical toner that improves output consistency, promotes cleaner operation, and eliminates the need for fuser oil in the fusing process. The magicolor 3300 has three selectable quality modes within its driver to give customers maximum latitude in deciding how documents should look. Standard mode delivers full print speed at 600 x 600 dpi, Quality mode offers full speed at 1200 x 1200 dpi, and Fine mode delivers prints at half speed at 1200 x 1200 dpi.

The magicolor 3300 includes two paper input sources - a 500-sheet standard cassette that supports up to legal-size media and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray that accepts sizes up to 8.5" x 35.4". The multipurpose tray provides added versatility handling heavier paper stock (up to 110 lb. Index), as well as transparencies, envelopes, and sheet labels. For heavier production printing, the magicolor 3300 can be equipped with a 500-sheet or 1,000-sheet input feeder that will reduce refilling and improve productivity. To create two-sided documents that save paper and filing space, an automatic duplex kit (standard on the DN model) is available. The magicolor 3300 ships with a one-year on-site warranty and a set of supplies, including cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toner cartridges, imaging unit, transfer unit, and a fusing unit.
