PacPrint13 is playing host to the global launch of Lanier’s brand new Pro C5100S digital cut sheet production printer, with the new press making an impact at Lanier’s stand at the trade show and also picking up a Print21 PacPrint HotPick.
The new Lanier Pro series, which includes the Pro C5100S (rated at 65 pages per minute) and the Pro C5110S (rated at 80 pages per minute) is being seen by local PacPrint punters in advance of its first public showing in Japan – an honour that Raj Chandiok, Lanier Australia’s national sales manager, is more than happy to claim.
“It’s been great, a wonderful opportunity for Lanier Australia to host the global launch and be the first to introduce this great new series to the world,” says Chandiok. “We are very proud to showcase this machine for the first time right here at PacPrint.”
For Chandiok, the new machines represent a host of technological leaps forward for Lanier’s printer range. Not least of these is the new printers’ AC Transfer technology, which gives them the ability to print onto textured stock with a full complement of toner in every nook and cranny.
- "This is a coup for PacPrint," - Raj Chandiok, Lanier Australia national sales manager with the new machine.
“The AC Transfer technology essentially means that it can fill the crevices in textured stock, to provide full density all the way through,” he says. “This technology is unique to Lanier and our sister company, Ricoh.”
Additionally, the new models feature a new chemical toner with a very low melting point to save on power, a 10 per cent increase in colour gamut and on the fly toner replacement. The machines print at 4800 dpi and, according to Lanier, take less than a minute to warm up.
With the company’s international launch of the machines in Japan set to occur within the next few months, Chandiok says that his stand at PacPrint has received more than a few high-roller international guests checking out the new technology prior to its international release.
“A lot of people have been here to see the machine in action,” he says. “This is really a coup for PacPrint.”
