ZBE introduces the New Chromira^5x 30 Printer
    The Fastest 30" LED Printer in the World.

March 13, 2003 - Carpinteria, CA / Las Vegas, NV, USA - The new Chromira^5x 30 printer represents another leapfrog in LED imaging technology from ZBE, Inc. Printing at 25" per minute, five times the speed of the original Chromira 30, the Chromira^5x 30 can image up to 563 8x10s per hour.

"The Chromira^5x 30 is a fast, highly reliable and productive, wide format digital RA-4 photographic printer that provides the productivity that Portrait/Social, Full Service, and Custom labs need. It delivers the highest standard resolution and large format image quality on demand," says Tim Sexton, Vice President, Marketing at ZBE Incorporated. "The Chromira^5x 30 achieves all of this and is still the fastest and most affordable large format digital LED photographic printer in the world."

In addition to employing ZBE’s accelerated Chromira^5x Imaging Technology, the Chromira^5x 30 also achieves state-of-the-art image quality by utilizing ZBE’s patented LED Resolution-Enhancing Technology, which enhances Chromira’s 300ppi imaging resolution to create a visual resolution of 425ppi. For even greater productivity Chromira^5x 30 is fully compatible with and can be bundled with ZBE’s WorkStream order management and digital print production software.

The speed enhancements of the Chromira^5x 30 have also been applied to the Chromira 50 for unmatchable workflow and productivity.
