At 1200 by 1200 dpi (dots per inch), it offers the highest print resolution in its class, combined with the best text printing in the business. The throughput performance of up to 8 ppm (pages per minute) for black text rivals business Laser Printers -in addition to printing vivid colour images at up to 4 ppm. A revolutionary paper-feed system design allows easy `drop-in` loading of a wide variety of papers and media. The 5 700 Colour Jetprinter offers resolution that is 3 8% higher than the nearest competitor. The 5700 is the`Megapixel`printer, providing a resolution of 1.44 Million dots per square inch through precision laser- fortned nozzles for unsurpassed text and images. "This new printer will provide the best printing solution for even the most demanding user", said Richard Fearon, sales and marketing director at Venture Computer. This new standard of print quality is achieved by means of Lexmark`s advanced print cartridge manufacturing technology, which employs 400 perfectly shaped print nozzles per printing pass for ultra- fine detail. This system, complemented by advanced ColorFine printing software with its intelligent use of colour tables, and Lexmark`s concentrated inks - for colourful printing on a wide variety of media - provides the widest range of superior printing results in the market. And for first class photo printing results, the Lexmark 5700 also allows 6-colour printing with the optional Lexmark High Resolution Photo cartridge, permitting greater treatment of shadows and smoother transitions between colours. The Lexmark 5 700 is also unusually user friendly, with on-screen print job status and effortless plug & play installation of the print driver. It has an advanced paper-feed system, which allows the user to simply drop the paper in the tray before starting to print. This new approach allows the user a considerable choice of media, and has been designed with the professional in mind.
