The new engines are also designed to improve productivity with automation features and produce repeatable and predictable output.

Among the highlights of the imagePRESS V900 Series is its ability to capitalize on having the smallest footprint among the imagePRESS V portfolio, incorporating crucial core technologies while fitting in tight spaces.

The imagePRESS V900 Series consist of three speed models: V900, V800 and V700, allowing customers to customize their configuration with numerous optional feeding and finishing accessories to allow print establishments to expand their offerings of new and lucrative applications.

Cover² on a variety of paper types, making it versatile for jobs ranging from high-quality marketing collateral, to direct mailing applications including envelopes. With printing speeds up to 90 pages per minute (letter) and a wide array of in-line finishing solutions², jobs can be quickly fulfilled to meet today’s production deadlines.

The imagePRESS V900 Series brings new levels of automation designed to help operators improve productivity and minimize their involvement. The Inline Spectrophotometers (ILS), which automates the color calibration and profiling process when using the PRISMAsync print server, was recently awarded a Printing United Pinnacle Product Award for its Automated Color Task feature.

Additional automation is brought to routine, crucial tasks via the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)² with the ability to improve registration alignment, color density, and secondary transfer with just a few taps on the intuitive interface³. Designed to minimize the need for manual adjustments and reduce operator involvement can limit errors and get the press ready for production sooner.
