Tektronix Phaser(TM) 300i Color Printer
Letter-size or large-format color printing for your workgroup.
Tektronix' phase-change color printers have been recognized as Editors'
Choice by PC Magazine and Macworld, Best Color Printer by
MacWeek, and Readers' Choice by Publish® magazine's
readers. Now, we've raised the standards of performance again.
The Tektronix Phaser 300i is the third generation of the world's most
award-winning color printer. With high-speed performance, greater network
connectivity, and enhanced color matching, the Phaser 300i is ideal for a
wide range of graphic arts, scientific, engineering, and business workgroup
applications.
For graphic artists, the Phaser 300i prints tight, accurately colored comps
on the stock of your choice. Capture the texture and feel of your finished
piece at the layout stage. Print double-page spreads with plenty of room
for full-bleeds. Fast, low-cost color printing allows you to refine your
designs until they're just right.
Our exclusive TekColor(TM) Finepoint(TM) level 2 rendering software enhances the printing of
every element on the page, to ensure detailed photographic images, crisp
graphics, smooth shading, and razor-sharp text. Crisp, clean image detail
that will satisfy even the most demanding applications.
TekColor Dynamic Correction software offers a solid solution to today's
color matching. It's built into every Phaser 300i and allows you to print
accurate color simulations of the final output device. Just select SWOP
(Specifications for Web Offset Publications), Commercial, or Euroscale
presses, and TekColor Dynamic Correction will simulate their color on your
desktop. With the Simulate Display setting you can adjust your print to
match the colors you see on your display. For projects that require it, the
Phaser 300i provides PANTONE®*-approved solid
color simulations.
In a word, the Phaser 300i is fast. Its proprietary interleaved memory
efficiently processes your images at speeds up to four times faster than
ordinary 24-MHz RISC processors. You can print a full page of high-quality
color in less than a minute. That means more time to explore your ideas,
less stress incorporating changes, and greater confidence in meeting your
deadlines.
The Phaser 300i features Adobe(TM) PostScript(TM) Level 2 software and 10 Mbytes of memory. The image
processing takes place in the printer so it won't tie up your computer. You
can add memory up to 22 Mbytes, to maximize input buffers and
throughput.
Color printing on any size paper from postcard to double-page spreads. The
Phaser 300i prints on anything from 16-lb. bond to 85-lb. cover, including
drafting vellum, bond, letterhead, cover stock, or transparencies for your
presentations. Print on media from 4 x 6 to 12 x 18 in. (100 x 150 to 305 x
457 mm) and any size in-between. With its speed, high-quality output, and
media flexibility, the Phaser 300i offers a cost-effective alternative to
short-run offset printing and color copying.
Unlike other technologies, with phase-change there are no special papers to
buy. Now you can print on any paper, in any size, from postcard to
large-format. The wax-based, solid ink is nearly waste free. And, you pay only for
the ink you use. It's clean,
cost-efficient, and easy on the environment too.
The Phaser 300i was designed from the ground up to support your workgroup.
It's compatible with Macs, PCs, UNIX workstations, and mainframes. Ethernet
is available for EtherTalk(TM), Novell®NetWare®, or TCP/IP(TM) protocols. All ports are
simultaneously active, so you can mix and match as you please.
Tektronix offers two large-format, plain-paper color printers. The
Phaser 300i provides breakthrough speed, direct networking
capabilities, low operating cost and desktop color proofing. For workgroups
on a budget, the Phaser III PXi offers moderate speed with basic
networking capabilities.
