Altaimage to take first LumeJet S200 digital printer

Monday 01. July 2013 - Docklands based marketing solutions provider Altaimage will be the first beta site for LumeJet's S200 ultra high resolution digital printer, it was announced today. Altaimage, has a wide range of high end print options for it's clients and the LumeJet S200 will extend the company's offering with an ultra high resolution option.

“We are very pleased to be unveiling Altaimage as the first beta site for the LumeJet S200.” said Miles Bentley, LumeJet’s Commercial Director. “As a company we were looking for a printer that worked at the very top of the market, and had clients that needed, and would appreciate, the ultra high resolution output of the machine. In Altaimage I think we have a company that sits squarely in that space.
“Altaimage has set its stall out to provide its clients with innovative, high quality solutions for their print needs. It has a track record of installing and using the latest state-of-the-art pre-press, printing and digital technology and we think that both sides will get huge benefits from the installation.”
The LumeJet S200 can combine – for the first time, and on the same page – true contone images with crisp fine lines and pin-sharp text (right down to 1-point size, reversed out of a coloured background), liberating design professionals from any concern about optimum output resolution for type or photographic images. The machine features a unique, patented photonic technology resulting in an output equivalent to more than 8000 dpi inkjet quality.
Commenting on the announcement Rob King, Director at Altaimage, said; “We are very excited about the arrival of the LumeJet S200, as we believe it opens up new markets for us. The ultra high quality output is a step up from anything we have been able to offer previously. For those looking for pin-point sharpness and absolute colour reproduction, we now have a machine that can deliver.”

Using RGB colourspace, it’s ICC profiled and achieves amazing colour fidelity, including hard-to-print Pantone spot colours like Reflex Blue, neons, metallics and pastels, not to mention flawless solid black.
