The Color Printer Designed for Designers
To fully appreciate the performance and capability of the 380,
start with the concept behind this extraordinary color printer.
Tektronix imagined the possibilities and brought them to life in a
printer designed just for designers.
Vibrant color with all the detail you need to express yourself.
Quickly. Clearly. Reliably. Effectively. Whether you’re printing at
headquarters or sending files to print in offices across the globe.
High-speed processing of complex images so you can meet the
toughest deadlines, and actually find more hours in the day.
Versatile and easy to use—for everyone on your project team.
Reliable solid-ink technology that makes it easy to print on
any size or stock, single- or double-sided. Ideal for oversized
prints of graphic and engineering design work—or Tektronix
transparencies. Powerful enough to handle whatever you and
your network can throw at it.
Accurate, so the color you’re matching does exactly what you
expect—it matches. Consistent, so the color is the same at the
beginning of the run as at the end; day to day, week to week,
month to month.
Low cost prints so you can breeze through as many iterations
as you need. And best of all, it’s from Tektronix—the world
leader in PostScript

color printers.

Rugged and Reliable.

based on the design of the world’s

Postcard to oversized tabloid and any
size in between. Card stock or text weights. Tektronix
transparencies. Full bleed spreads, single- or doubled-sided.
The Phaser 380 printer delivers the quality you demand on
the size and type of media you specify.
