Canon SA is introducing the Colour Laser Shot LBP-2260, a high-speed colour A3 laser printer. It delivers natural image quality and achieves a print speed of 6 A4 pages per minute (ppm) when outputting in colour, and 24 ppm when outputting in black and white.
The LBP 2260 succeeds the 2160. Mark Geldenhuys, product manager of Canon SA, says: "It offers improved functionality, better image quality, faster data processing as well as accommodating a range of optional accessories, including a seven-bin sorter and internal hard disks."
Unlike conventional colour laser printers, which use oil to fix toner to the paper surface, the LBP-2260 uses an oil-less fixing engine and S (Spherical) Toner, removing the gloss and grainy effects commonly found in colour laser output. CSST (Colour Super Smoothing Technology) makes possible high-resolution output equivalent to 2 400 x 600 dots per inch.
The LBP-2260 incorporates CanoFine automatic image technology. This enhances digital camera images prior to printout, while SuperMaxiMem facilitates efficient use of memory.
A 32bit RISC processor (Intel i960HD) and the Power Laser Shot Controller equipped with a Super Laser Shot Chip reduce overall processing time.
The new printer uses an ITD (Intermediate Transfer Drum) which, in addition to plain paper, accommodates a variety of print media, including card stock, envelopes, overhead projector transparencies, high gloss film, and label sheets.
When equipped with the optional Duplex Unit DU-82, the printer makes possible full-colour automatic duplexing.
Equipped with two 500-sheet paper cassettes and a 100-sheet manual-feed tray, the LBP-2260 offers a standard capacity of 1 100 sheets. When furnished with an optional double-cassette paper deck, the printer has a five-way paper feeding system with a total capacity of 2 000 sheets. Further options include a 2 000-sheet paper deck unit and 7-bin sorter.
"Outfitted with an optional internal print server, the device is compatible with various operating systems and multi protocol environments," says Geldenhuys.
