Features

Industry Standard Coverage

Not only does the new imagePROGRAF GP-520 offer coverage for the widely-used “PANTONE FORMULA GUIDE Solid Coated”1, but it also holds the prestigious distinction of being the world’s first printer to be granted a PANTONE-calibrated license for the “PANTONE PASTELS & NEONS GUIDE Coated”2, which encompasses a range of fluorescent and pastel colors.

When utilizing the imagePROGRAF printer driver at [Poster/Photo (Fluorescent)] [High] (600 dpi) with Premium Semi-Glossy Paper 2, the GP-520 achieves an impressive 94% color gamut coverage rate for the 1 PANTONE FORMULA GUIDE Solid Coated.

When using Premium Semi-Glossy Paper 2 with the imagePROGRAF printer driver at [Poster/Photo (Fluorescent)] [High] (600 dpi), the GP-520 achieves an outstanding 85% color gamut coverage rate for the 2 PANTONE PASTELS & NEONS GUIDE Coated.

Intelligent Media Handling for Efficient Workflow

The media loading and replacement workflow has been streamlined to a single step through the implementation of automatic media loading and automatic media type detection. Now, all you need to do is “place the roll” into the printer, and the rest will be taken care of automatically. The printer will adjust itself as needed and quickly transition into a print-ready state, requiring minimal supervision. Additionally, the printer features an automatic remaining media estimation function, which displays the amount of remaining roll on the operation panel. If the media is insufficient to complete the print job, the system will promptly issue an alert.

Support RIPs and High Precision Colour Stability

The inclusion of RIPs (Raster Image Processors) allows for extensive support of printing environments, catering to the varied output workflows of professional users, including design companies, and print services with comps and proofs. Additionally, the built-in multi-sensor conducts color calibration, guaranteeing the ability to easily reproduce consistent and repeatable results across multiple printers.

Productivity at Its Peak

By utilizing the optional dual-roll feeding unit, users have the flexibility to load and utilize two rolls of media simultaneously. This feature significantly reduces the need for frequent switching between different media types or sizes, particularly during high-volume printing tasks. Moreover, the printer incorporates a sub-ink tank system, which enables the replacement of empty ink tanks while the printing process continues uninterrupted. This innovative system greatly enhances productivity by minimizing downtime associated with ink tank replacements.

Borderless Printing

The printer offers the ability to achieve borderless printing on both standard and custom widths for all compatible media types. Additionally, it is equipped to perform three-sided edge-to-edge printing on various sizes, even if they don’t precisely match the width of the roll paper. This functionality provides greater flexibility for borderless printing tasks, as it allows for the production of borderless prints in various sizes using just a single roll of media.

Unparalleled Security

To ensure top-notch security, print jobs, and data undergo encryption and are transmitted using a secure protocol throughout the entire print process. Additionally, robust security measures such as secure file and disk erasure, user access restriction, and printer functionality restriction are implemented to prevent any potential information leaks or security risks. These comprehensive security measures contribute to unparalleled levels of security for the system.
