IBM Infoprint Color 130
Full-Color Digital Printer

Highlights

The IBM^® Infoprint^® Color 130 and
industry-leading variable data composition tools can help transform e-business intelligence into effective, highly personalized full-color marketing collateral. The Infoprint Color 130 system includes a powerful RIP server, a high-performance press server and a full-color digital printer designed for complex, variable content printing.

Robust RIP server technology
The Infoprint Color 130 includes a RIP server based on IBM Intellistation^® technology. The server features BARCO^® FastRip/X^®, an Adobe^®-certified RIP, to support PostScript^® 3, PDF 1.3 and ICC profiles, making a wider range of applications available.

The RIP server's dual-processing capability substantially increases printer utilization and performance by ripping new jobs while current jobs are printing.

In addition, optional Infoprint Manager software provides Multi-RIP support to manage up to three additional off-line RIP servers and enables load balancing and automatic workload distribution across multiple RIP servers.

High-performance press server

The Infoprint Color 130's press server is based on standard dual Microsoft^® Windows^® NT^® computers. The server includes dedicated hardware to decompress and screen pages, then passes the pages as objects to the printer at an aggregate data rate of 100 MB per second. This powerful server uses different algorithms to compress line art and continuous-tone images to maintain optimal quality while increasing the compression ratios to 10:1 or better,

resulting in faster network throughput.

New, state-of-the-art printing system designed for complex, variable-content full-color printing

Up to 138 full-color impressions per minute with 4 bits per spot for superior output quality

Powerful RIP server with two 800 MHz Intel^® Pentium^® III processors

High-performance press server with two 600 MHz Intel Pentium III processors

Press server software provides page impositioning and variable data merging

New XML-based book ticket file to manage print jobs

The Infoprint Color 130 provides technology to power the personalization of marketing materials, helping to provide more effective communications for a variety of industries.

A new XML-based book ticket defines print job characteristics, including the relationship between objects of a page. The press server dynamically assembles and merges compressed objects to create pages, and specifies collation and imposition settings for the print job.

Ripped jobs can be archived on a range of storage media for future printing. Because of the press server's new compression technique, considerable time can be saved when reprinting on-demand jobs. The system includes storage capacity for at least 6,400 A4 full-color letter pages.

Variable data support

Industry-leading dynamic page composition tools, such as MergeDoc, Pageflex Mpower and BARCO VIPDesigner, integrate popular page-layout programs with database information to create full-color, personalized printed materials. Master and variable-data objects can be created with applications including QuarkXPress, Adobe PageMaker^® and InDesign.
