NP-1600 Photographic Network Printer

The Codonics NP-1600 Photographic Network Printer is a high quality paper and transparency output solution designed for critcal imaging applications. Utilizing dye-sublimation technology and digital image processing, the NP-1600 generates precise grayscale and color prints through a dry imaging process. A high speed internal SPARC processor, standard Ethernet interface and built-in print spooler allow shared access of the printer. Print requests are quickly spooled and processed to free valuable personnel and equipment resources.

Features

To provide consistently high image quality, Codonics engineers have developed an innovative printer calibration technique called "CorrectImage". This ensures uniform color distribution by compensating for elemental printhead variations during the printing process. CorrectImage significantly improves image quality by reducing artifacts such as "ghosting" and "color shifting" common in dye-sublimation printers. NP-1600 interfaces are industry standard Ethernet and Centronics parallel. The interfaces provide high speed connectivity to workstation based imaging systems including Apple Macintosh, IBM PC, Sun and Silicon Graphics. Many proprietary systems also support one or both of the NP-1600 interfaces. No special software drivers are required to transfer images to the NP-1600. Ethertalk is used for Apple Macintosh networks. LPR and FRT allow easy printer access from workstations using TCP/IP. Telenet can be used to connect to the printer and modify operational parameters or the print queue. Both TCP/IP and Ethertalk can be used simultaneously.
