With your PrimeraPro, switching back and forth
between these printing methods is easy. All you do is
load either the wax thermal transfer supplies or the
dye-sublimation supplies and select the appropriate
printing choice from within PrimeraProÕs software
driver. The entire change-over process takes about
15 to 20 seconds.
PrimeraPro will print from any IBM-PC
¨
or
compatible running Windows
TM
3.1 or higher, any
Apple
¨
Macintosh
¨
with system software 6.0.3 or
higher supporting Color QuickDraw
TM
, or any
Amiga
¨
with system software 2.x or higher. This
means that you can use the printer with virtually any
software package running under these operating
environments without any special set-up or
configuration beyond the initial installation of the
specific software driver and interface cable. From an
IBM-PC, an ASCII print mode is also available for
monochrome text-only printing from DOS or other
non-Windows applications.
Data is sent to PrimeraPro in a bit-mapped, rasterized
format. This means that your computer, along with
the printer driver software, does almost all of the
complex Raster Image Processing (ÒRIPÓ) work. So,
the faster your computer, the faster the image will be
RIPÕd and sent to your PrimeraPro.
Your PrimeraPro Color Printer has many distinct
advantages over other color printing technologies.
With its dual function wax thermal transfer/dye-
sublimation color printing capability, PrimeraPro
offers you incredible printing versatility. Wax thermal
transfer colors are generally brighter and more
vibrant than dot-matrix or ink-jet. Cost per page is
dramatically lower than ink-jet. And speed is far
greater than both of these other color printing
methods. In addition, PrimeraProÕs dye-sublimation
process gives you continuous-tone, photo-realistic
output, no other color printing technology can match.
Another advantage lies within PrimeraProÕs ability to
print either 300 DPI (dots per inch) or 600 x 300 DPI
output with either the thermal wax transfer or the
dye-sublimation process. Simply by making a
selection within PrimeraProÕs printer driver setup,
you can switch from printing high resolution 300 DPI
output to printing astounding 600 x 300 DPI graphics
with near-flawless curves and laser quality text.
Operation is simple and straightforward. Within
minutes after opening the box and setting up your
PrimeraPro, you will be printing high-quality,
exciting color output.
