Key features of imagePRESS V1000

Effective Task Automation

With a strong emphasis on task automation, the imagePRESS V1000 helps PSPs ensure color repeatability and registration alignment effortlessly. The Inline Spectrophotometers (ILS) allow operators to perform advanced color adjustments—such as engine linearization, color profile creation, calibration, and color validation—quickly and with minimal intervention. Additionally, the new Precision Registration Technology ensures the alignment of duplexed sheets remains accurate and consistent during long production runs.

The imagePRESS V1000 also offers robust front-end controller options, including the imagePRESS Server D3000. Powered by the Fiery FS500 Pro system software, the imagePRESS Server D3000 introduces new functionalities and integrates familiar workflow and prepress features. The Express Media Color Manager and Auto Recall, combined with the ILS, deliver swift color management through an intuitive interface.

Productive Print Operations

Integrated with POD-SURF (Surface Rapid Fusing), the imagePRESS V1000 maintains a consistent print speed of 100 ppm on coated and heavy media types up to 400 g/m², sustaining high efficiency even when printing complex and mixed media jobs. When used with the bypass trays, the optional Multi-Drawer Paper Deck enhances paper input capabilities, accommodating a wide range of premium applications. Remote alerts enable operators to change media and toner and remove toner waste while keeping the imagePRESS V1000 running for maximum productivity.

High Quality and Reliability

The imagePRESS V1000 features an innovative cooling system that rapidly cools paper after fixing, minimizing the risk of warping, sticking, or bricking. This new cooling system ensures optimal print quality and reduces potential waste, enhancing cost-efficiency. Additionally, a new transfer technology creates an ideal transport path for each sheet during the printing process, ensuring even color distribution when switching between media types with different weights.
