2.2 Offset Press vs. Digital imagePRESS

Offset printing is a technique that transfers (or "offsets") an inked image from a
plate to a rubber blanket, and then to the printing surface. This enables the offset
press to maintain a consistent and high image quality over long print runs because
the plate never touches the paper. The process requires a substantial investment
in equipment and setup time to achieve these results.
A digital press uses an electrostatic process to produce "offset-like" image quality
at a fraction of the cost of an offset press. In the imagePRESS C6000 digital press,
the drum is imaged; the toner is applied, and then transferred to the AITB
(Advanced Imaging Transfer Belt). The AITB then transfers all four toner colors to
the paper in one single pass. The small toner particle size captures a greater color
gamut space, closer to that of an offset press.

2.3 Image Stabilization Control

The quality of printed images is affected by changes in the environment, such as
temperature, humidity, etc. in which the machine is installed. It is also affected by
the deterioration of image formation parts through extended usage. The
imagePRESS C6000 performs image stabilization control to ensure stable print
quality over an extended period of time.
