Digital Blanket
Significant improvements in image quality can be attributed to the Digital Blanket used
in the DocuColor 2000 Series. The Digital Blanket passes under the four printing stations
where the image is transferred to the blanket. The four colours of the image are
assembled on the blanket – one on top of another in perfect register – and then
transferred to the paper in a single pass when the blanket passes under a pressure
roller. The uniform, flat surface of the Digital Blanket reduces image quality defects and
extends the range of stock that can be reliably supported.
BeltNip fuser
The imaged paper then travels toward the BeltNip fuser, crossing two vacuum transports
which keep stocks moving along smoothly. The BeltNip fuser is another technological
innovation that ensures each image is fused properly to the stock. It consists of a roller
and a belt that ensures stocks stay against the heated roller for the longest possible
time for a complete fix of the image. A long dwell time is especially important for heavy
stocks and jobs with heavy area coverage to fuse well, and to compensate for the
increased speed of printing of the press.
The BeltNip fuser also uses LOFT (Low Oil Fusing Technology), which reduces oil usage
to a fraction of previous generation printers. This enhances the appearance of final
output and reduces operating costs.
