The InfoPrint Color Solution is the first open standards-based, end-to-end AFP Color solution for the transaction and direct mail printing industry, to enable accurate and consistent color production across multiple printer technologies.
The InfoPrint Color Solution delivers on InfoPrint’s strategic promise to the industry to bring all of the benefits of AFP in monochrome environments to high-speed color production. The solution comprises several new developments:
- AFP Controller for the InfoPrint 5000 full-color, drop-on-demand production printer
- AFP Consortium color management support for the InfoPrint 5000 and InfoPrint 4100 families
- AFP Consortium color management in InfoPrint server technology - InfoPrint Resource Installer, InfoPrint Manager and InfoPrint ProcessDirector
- A newly launched InfoPrint Developer Program for future AFP compatibility across vendors
Bringing AFP to InfoPrint’s high end continuous forms printers
InfoPrint’s hardware product enhancements and upgrades for color mean that InfoPrint’s high-end continuous forms machines now support advanced color management, through support of the open, industry-standard AFP Color Management Architecture (ACMA).
The new InfoPrint 5000 models, the AS1 and AD1/AD2, incorporate the many benefits of AFP such as speed, quality, reliability and ease-of-use with page-level error recovery, data integrity, audit-ability and control. They also enable highly flexible page composition with support of TIFF, GIF, JPEG (JFIF), EPS, and PDF objects within AFP and IPDS data streams. In addition, these models provide native support for applications that generate PostScript and PDF data streams.
As part of the end-to-end color solution, the InfoPrint 4100 now also supports AFP Color Management Resources to generate accurate and consistent grayscales. This high-speed continuous forms printer is aimed at transactional printers, service bureaus, direct mailers and book printers, and the new support brings color application compatibility to printers focused on optimizing productivity and lowering overall output costs.
