What is GelSprinter technology?

The hybrid technology between laser and inkjet printer offering the optimal
balance and maximization of print speed and image quality at affordable cost
under the business environment.GelSprinter offers you high speed printing by
combining three innovative technologies: Liquid Gel, Wide Heads, and the Belt
Feeding System.

About GelSprinter Liquid Gel

Gel Sprinter is an economical alternative to laser printing that utilizes a
uniquely formulated viscous ink to address the shortcomings of traditional low
viscosity inks. There are two types of low viscosity ink: Dry-based, which soak
into the paper, spread, dry slowly, and produce dull images, and Pigment-based
which dry faster that Dry-based inks, but not fast enough to provide the quality
necessary for duplex printing. GelSprinter Liquid Gel has virtually none of
these limitations. They are thicker, Pigment-based inks that dry instantly on
contact with paper.

About Wide Print Heads

GelSprinter print heads are three times wider that those of conventional inkjet
printers. Each print head nozzle is durable, allowing ink to be ejected at
greater pressure, which prevents clogging. These extra-wide print heads move in
tandem for greater coverage per pass, delivering superior speeds over a much
larger printable area that any other inkjet printer. Unlike laser printers, the
GelSprinter color printers do nt need to fuse print images to paper, allowing
for faster warm-up, recovery, and first-prints, and increased overall
productivity.

Belt Feeding System

Traditional inkjet printers use rollers that can leave sheets of paper
unsupported, causing them to ripple and jam. Double-sided printing can also
cause problems. By contrast, the GelSprinter series of color printers used
high-speed electrostatic attraction to hold each sheet firmly in place on its
path through the machine, eliminating misalignment, blurring, and other problem
and other problems that accompany registration. Additionally, GelSprinter uses a
sophisticated Belt Feeding System that practically eliminates paper jams and
allows speedy double-sided printing over a laser-like print area GelSprinter
printers maximize page ‘real estate’ without compromising image quality or
output speed.
