InfoPrint 5000
The InfoPrint 5000 is a full-color, high-speed, continuous forms Intelligent Printer
Data Stream (IPDS) printer that supports AFP color management.
The InfoPrint 5000 uses piezo-electric drop-on-demand inkjet technology with
water-based pigment inks that are designed to resist fading and smearing.
The InfoPrint 5000 receives AFP print jobs from InfoPrint print servers. When used
as part of a full AFP color management system, the InfoPrint 5000 can receive color
conversion, link, and tone transfer curve CMRs and apply them to print jobs.
Because the printer engine applies its own halftones, it does not support halftone
CMRs.
The InfoPrint 5000 can capture resources and store them in a repository in its
controller so they can be reused in other print jobs. The printer only captures
resources that are marked non-private and capturable using an application such as
AFP Resource Installer.
You can also submit PostScript and Portable Document Format (PDF) jobs to hot
folders on the InfoPrint 5000, but those print jobs are not processed using AFP
color management.
InfoPrint 4100
The InfoPrint 4100 family of printers uses a laser, electrophotographic print
technology and Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) licensed programs to create
high-quality text and graphics output. InfoPrint 4100 printers with the InfoPrint
®
POWER architecture and microcode release 15.4 or later support the AFP color
management architecture and can be used to print very high-quality grayscale
images.
The base level of AFP color management support in InfoPrint 4100 printers with
the InfoPrint POWER architecture and microcode release 15.4 or later lets you
apply color management to grayscale text, graphics (GOCA), bi-level images
(IOCA FS10), and bar codes. To use color management functions with other types
of objects, the AFP Color Emulation feature is required.
The AFP Color Emulation feature lets you print color objects in grayscale. When
the feature is installed, AFP Color Management lets you natively print GIF, IOCA
FS11, IOCA FS45, JPEG, and TIFF images in high-quality grayscale.
Note: Single-page PDF and EPS data objects are not supported on the InfoPrint
4100.
InfoPrint 4100 printers support these types of CMRs:
v Color conversion
v Link color conversion
v Tone transfer curve
v Halftone
For even better images on InfoPrint 4100 Models MS1, MD1, and MD2, you can
also install the Image Enhancement feature. Benefits of this feature include:
v Enhanced fusing technology to minimize toner distortion
v Optimized developer unit for high coverage and high-density applications
v Improved halftones tailored to new hardware and toner technology
