Printer features
Brilliant colors and resolution
The Phaser 480X delivers 256 shades of each primary color at 300-by-300
dots-per-inch resolution to produce millions of colors. Dye-sublimation
produces brilliant colors with smooth transitions, sharp details, and accurate
textures. In addition, the Phaser 480X gives you the power of TekColorª
PhotoÞneª and TekColor Dynamic Correction, TektronixÕ proprietary
image processing technology.
TekColor PhotoÞne image processing sharpens text and Þne lines
while smoothing shaded Þll areas and optimizing image detail.
TekColor Dynamic Correction provides an easy way to select the
right color correction for your application.
With built-in simulations of a SWOP (SpeciÞcations Web Offset Publications)
press, commercial press, video display, and other devices, color correction is
fast, accurate and accessible through simple driver selections. Support for
PANTONE process color simulations provides even more ßexibility.
Digital pre-press proofs complete with trapping
The Phaser 480X provides the capability to print single or multi-page
separation Þles created by Macintosh and Windows applications. Files are
automatically assembled and printed, showing the overprint and trapping
information. Separation Þles can be printed as four separate pages or as a
composite page.
DCS Print
This standalone utility, running on Macintosh 7.X and Windows 3.1
platforms, allows you to directly print Desktop Color Separation (DCS) Þles,
Adobe Separator and Aldus PageMaker output Þles. You can print
high-quality DCS Þles by simply dragging the Þle onto the DCS Print
application icon.
