ZBE introduces the New Chromira^5x 30 Printer
    The Fastest 50" LED Printer in the World.

March 13, 2003 - Carpinteria, CA / Las Vegas, NV, USA –The new Chromira^5x 50 printer represents another leapfrog in LED imaging technology from ZBE, Inc. Printing at 22" per minute, over five times the speed of the original Chromira 50, the Chromira^5x 50 can image up to 825 8x10s per hour.

"We designed the Chromira^5x 50 to give professional imagers everything they need to compete." says Tim Sexton, Vice President of Marketing at ZBE. "This printer provides the speed and productivity that Custom and Commercial labs need, with state-of-the-art image quality at the highest standard resolution."

In addition to employing ZBE’s accelerated Chromira^5x Imaging Technology, the Chromira^5x 50 achieves state-of-the-art image quality by utilizing ZBE’s patented LED Resolution-Enhancing Technology, which enhances the Chromira 300ppi imaging resolution to create a visual resolution of 425ppi.

The Chromira^5x 50, unlike traditional laser systems, employs ZBE’s unique, interruptible line-by-line imaging system, which delivers real time, on-the-fly image processing, and a perpetual imaging workflow that other digital printers can’t achieve. For even greater productivity, Chromira^5x 50 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 50 have also been applied to the Chromira 30 for unmatchable workflow and productivity.
