The Lumejet S200 can produce output at more than 8000 dpi equivalent inkjet quality.
Docklands based Altaimage will be the first beta site for LumeJet’s S200 ultra high resolution digital printer, believing that the technology will open up new markets. The company has a wide range of high end print options for its clients and the LumeJet S200 will extend its offering even further.
Miles Bentley, LumeJet’s commercial director, said: ‘We were looking for a printer that worked at the very top of the market, and had clients that needed, and would appreciate, the ultra-high resolution output of the machine. In Altaimage I think we have a company that sits squarely in that space.
The LumeJet S200 can combine – for the first time, and on the same page – true contone images with crisp fine lines and pin-sharp text (right down to 1-point size, reversed out of a coloured background), liberating design professionals from any concern about optimum output resolution for type or photographic images. The machine features a unique, patented photonic technology resulting in an output equivalent to more than 8000 dpi inkjet quality.
Altaimage director Rob King said: ‘We are very excited about the arrival of the LumeJet S200, as we believe it opens up new markets for us. The ultra-high quality output is a step up from anything we have been able to offer previously. For those looking for pin-point sharpness and absolute colour reproduction, we now have a machine that can deliver.’
An inkless process, the LumeJet S200 takes 305 mm photographic roll paper for page sizes up to A3 landscape double-page spread, full bleed, including trim (1000 x 305 mm maximum) – ideal for layflat books. It uses the RGB colour space, is ICC profiled, and achieves ‘amazing’ colour fidelity, including Pantone spot colours such as Reflex Blue, neons, metallics and pastels, and ‘flawless’ solid black.
