The InfoPrint Color 100 can be used for a wide range of print-on-demand (POD) applications, including
targeted advertising and brochures, textbooks, custom classroom materials, and many other similar
applications.
The InfoPrint Color 100 produces high-quality process color jobs at a speed of 105 letter-size impressions
per minute when printing duplex, or 52 letter-size impressions per minute when printing in simplex. In
either simplex or duplex, the print speed is 52 letter-size sheets per minute.
The InfoPrint Color 100 prints at 600 pel resolution with up to 4 gray levels per dot for each of the four
basic colors. Proprietary screening allows images to be printed at a screen frequency of 170 lines per
inch.
The printer is compatible with PostScript data streams from standard prepress platforms and attaches to a
network with Ethernet or Token Ring.
The InfoPrint Color 100 requires a high degree of operator involvement in the processing of the short-run
press jobs. The operator, among other tasks, is required to adjust print station registration and color
balancing, take densitometer measurements, enter job data, add toner, and perform daily cleaning.
