SEATTLE – January 28, 2008 – Express Imaging Systems (EIS), LLC, announces the official release of the Europa 15 high speed digital printer. A member of the Europa line of high speed digital RA4 printers, the Europa 15 prints silver halide 450 ppi HD prints at a speed of 15,000 prints per hour (pph). EIS will be taking orders at PMA to be held in Las Vegas, January 31 to February 2, 2008.
The Europa 15 boasts all of the features of the Europa 10 (10,000 pph) and the Europa 5 (5,000 pph), including award winning HD Prints. “With improvements in image processing, lens technology and computing speeds, the robust Europa design easily handles 15,000 pph,” said Keith Miller, President and CEO of Express Imaging Systems. “Our customers have been asking for a printer that can keep pace with some of the larger paper processors and this is it.”
The Europa 15 is an LED/LCD based printer that consumes less power than the competition; it is water-cooled, and it has an environmentally friendly thermal transfer backprinter, says EIS. This roll-to-roll silver halide printer can accommodate 3.5” to 5” paper widths, a wide range of emulsions and thicknesses, and can produce prints up to 8” long – perfect for greeting cards and panoramics. The Europa 15 uses industry standard Agfa and Gretag takeup and supply paper cassettes.
The Europa was designed with an open architecture making it simple to integrate into most pre-existing workflows, including PfDF. Evolving from the easy integration of the Europa into the Agfa dWS system using a simple XML hot folder, EIS recently released eGate an XML based digital fulfillment workflow system. At the center of eGate is eControl, which distributes work across the network via a single xml system file broadcast. eControl also dynamically loads Image Processing Units (eIPUs) to guarantee quick customized image processing, or enhancement, and can separate a single batch for processing over multiple eIPUs, says EIS.
Interested parties are invited to visit booth C256 at PMA, Las Vegas, January 31 through February 2, 2008, or call 206-720-1798 ext 108 to make an appointment. For orders placed at PMA, estimated delivery time for the Europa 15 is 6-8 weeks.
