Canon has refreshed its mono printer range with the launch of the varioPRINT 140 series QUARTZ for production
print environments. The new QUARTZ model offers commercial print and in-house print service providers a temporary speed upgrade option to support production peaks and has a contemporary look. Users can also benefit from an optional form assist module to increase application flexibility.
Built for light to mid-volume printing environments producing 80,000 to 800,000 A4-size prints on average per month, the varioPRINT 140 series QUARTZ is engineered to last, delivering reliable print performance, consistent productivity and high quality output.
With the introduction of a new licensing structure, varioPRINT 140 series QUARTZ users can make use of permanent or temporary speed upgrades to the printer, from 115 pages per minute to 130 or 140 ppm. This option gives businesses greater production flexibility to respond to unpredictable print buying patterns and production volumes, as well as the scope to boost capacity to up to 2.3 million A4 images per month to manage seasonal peaks. The temporary license is offered on a monthly basis and can be extended as many times as needed over the lifetime of the printer.
The varioPRINT 140 series QUARTZ does not generate ozone emissions and is designed to minimise toner waste. Thanks to HeatXchange technology, the heat generated when the toner is fixed is transferred to subsequent pages as it prints. This helps to save energy, while the low fusing temperature supports printing on a variety of media.
The printer comes with a Canon PRISMAsync print server embedded as standard, giving intuitive control and allowing for production scheduling up to eight hours ahead. For operator convenience, notifications highlighting the requirement for toner or media replenishment, as well as the need to remove output, are provided well
in advance to help achieve non-stop printing.
