New high-speed inkjet digital color print system to be showcased at Graph Expo 2012
MINNEAPOLIS, Se pt. 13, 2012-Delphax Technologies Inc.
(OTC:DLPX), a global provider of high- speed digital printing
equipment, today announced the North American introduction of
its elan™ digital color print system next month at Graph Expo
2012. The company will showcase demonstrations of the major
advances in inkjet and paper-handling technologies offered by
the elan 500 powered by Memjet in booth 2038 at Chicago's
McCormick Place South.
A robust production class sheet-fed print system, elan 500
offers 1600 dpi print quality in vibrant full color at speeds
of up to 500 impressions per minute. The system integrates
multiple Memjet printheads with a unique Delphax-designed
paper path to create an unprecedented combination of speed,
versatility, affordability and high quality color for
sheet-fed and on-demand inkjet production.
"We believe that elan's combination of price, sheet-fed
configuration and performance will make versatile
high-quality color printing affordable-and profitable-for a
much wider range of commercial printers," said Dieter
Schilling, president and chief executive officer of Delphax.
"We are targeting a price of under
$500,000 for a standard elan system, including a
high-capacity input feeder and high-capacity stacker."
Schilling said that elan is Delphax's response to a growing
customer demand for more efficient, versatile and affordable
color printing equipment. A multi-application system, elan
promises to be ideal for commercial print-on-demand
challenges in direct mail, transpromotional, billing,
statements and book or manual publishing. Its variable data
and MICR capability are also expected to make elan attractive
to Delphax's established security printing market.
"The system's capabilities have been shaped by our market
research, including extensive customer input, on the
production and competitive pressures faced by comme rcial
printers today," Schilling said. "The result is innovation
that not only sets a new speed and quality benchmark for
inkjet technology in a sheet-fed configuration, but also
creates pricing advantages for our customers."
