The varioPRINT iX-series are highly productive inkjet sheet-fed presses targeted at general commercial printers.
The printer platform combines the image quality, media range and application versatility of digital cut sheet toner devices with the productivity and cost efficiency of inkjet. Commercial printers can take on short runs, switch jobs quickly, and produce finished documents with mixed media to meet deadlines and achieve a high return on investment.
The varioPRINT iX-series steered by PRISMAsync Print Server offers digital workflows—black and white, full color, or consolidated black and white and color volume—into one efficient and productive platform.
The iQuarius technology has a proven reputation of high uptime and reliability. Combined with proprietary aqueous inks and ColorGrip the varioPRINT iX-series offers high quality on a broad range of coated and uncoated media.
Working with the varioPRINT iX-series, is more than working with the printer alone. The most important standard software applications are the following.
The varioPRINT iX-series remote printer driver enables you to start and submit print jobs from the desktop applications you use.
The controller PRISMAsync Print Server ensures you to get the most out of your printer. PRISMAsync Print Server is used for a wide range of Canon color and black and white sheet-fed printers.
The web-based PRISMAsync Remote Manager shows the job processing and the print queues of the printer remotely on your workstation. All upcoming events can be monitored from a distance. You can edit job properties or re-route jobs from a PRISMAsync printer to another PRISMAsync printer.
The PRISMAremote Monitoring app on your smart phone helps to stay informed about the print production on the varioPRINT iX-series. Even at a distance.
The web-based Settings Editor is the tool where you configure the printer according to new or changed requirements.
In addition to these standard applications, the following optional software applications can be part of the platform of the varioPRINT iX-series.
PRISMAprepare and PRISMAproduction
The job submitting software PRISMAprepare and PRISMAproduction create a uniform workflow with the varioPRINT iX-series. So you can realize end-to-end job automation, media catalog synchronization, and all-in-one job preparation.
PRISMAprofiler
PRISMAprofiler has been developed for inkjet printers like the varioPRINT iX-series. Color experts can use this profiler to make optimal use of the color management of the varioPRINT iX-series.
PRISMAlytics Dashboard
PRISMAlytics Dashboard is a cloud service that delivers fact-based printer information. Printers that use the PRISMAsync Print Server send real-time production information, such as printing times, idle times, and the usage of media and consumables to PRISMAlytics Dashboard. Key performance indicators and improvement areas help you to optimize and streamline the production across your printer fleet.
PRISMAsync Simulator
With the PRISMAsync Simulator you can print jobs without an actual printer. The print results are used for job production overviews and job cost calculations.
