GEI WideFormat Introduces Colortrac ValueJet Eco-Solvent MFP
North Canton, Ohio, October 5, 2006
GEI WideFormat Solutions, a Visual Edge Technology Company and one of North America's leading wide format imaging equipment and software marketers, announced today that it has bundled the popular Colortrac SmartLF scanner with the Mutoh ValueJet 1204 printer to create a new Multi-Functional Printer (MFP) specifically designed for brilliant, commercial, outdoor-durable wide format sign-making.
GEI WideFormat is the North American master distributor of the innovative line of Colortrac SmartLF wide format scanners and has been developing highly successful partnering programs with Mutoh for many years. In this alliance, the companies combined the ValueJet 1204-48" solvent printer with GEI's unique, adjustable "repro-stand" which consists of a Colortrac scanner, desktop computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse. By including a comprehensive suite of software applications, a versatile, multi-functional system with a compact footprint was created for high speed outdoor sign and banner production using new, Eco-Ultra inks.
"Finally, high speed color scanning, copying and outdoor printing with exceptional image quality is possible with an MFP that fits easily into any space, with no ventilation required." said Roger Ilgen, National Sales Director, GEI WideFormat Solutions. "It's easy to install, operate and maintain and accommodates a wide variety of popular media. The Colortrac ValueJet MFP is the affordable, super-value solution that sign makers have been seeking."
The Colortrac ValueJet MFP has state-of-the-art features including Colortrac's instant on, no warm up, "scan-once", solid state CIS technology and Mutoh's new X-Rail design and new piezo print head technology. It has variable dot technology to produce photo quality images at resolutions up to 1440 dpi and features the new 540x720 dpi mode for banners. Print width is 48" with up to 51" media width and because it employs the most updated generation of eco-inks, prints last up to 3 years outdoors without lamination.
