Rewriting the rules of inkjet printing

End-users in virtually every industry understand the give-and-take

of conventional inkjet printers. The devices have a low purchase price and are easy to use, but the supplies can be costly and the color is merely adequate.

The Lanier GX3000/3050N/5050N GelSprinterTM printers completely transform this traditional dynamic. Bringing together the best qualities of inkjet and laser printers, these innovative systems enable you to acquire high-quality color for an extremely affordable price, without sacrificing reliability or convenience. The GX3000 delivers up to 29 full- color or monochrome pages per minute in stand-alone configurations. The GX3050N provides the same output speed for network printing in small workgroups. The GX5050N is also network-ready, prints up to 30 pages per minute, features a 33% higher duty cycle, and offers an optional high-capacity paper tray and high-yield gel ink cartridges.

All three printers incorporate exclusive GelSprinterTM technology, which combines a viscous ink formulation, belt-driven paper feeding, and a long-lasting printhead design. Together, these features eliminate smudging, curling, and other maintenance issues typically associated with inkjet color output. More importantly, this technology delivers color quality comparable to color laser output and is ideal for a wide range of low-volume applications.

Laser-like color quality

Unlike inkjet printers, Lanier printers with GelSprinterTM technology use pigment-based inks suspended in a viscous gel that bonds with the page like toner, allowing the ink to sit up on the page. This formulation minimizes dot spreading, sharpens color images, and prevents bleed-through on plain paper. The gel dries immediately upon contact with air to eliminate smudging. GelSprinterTM ink does not run if it gets wet, and resists fading after prolonged sunlight exposure. All of which allows GelSprinterTM printers to deliver vivid, laser-like image quality for full-color and monochrome documents.

Exceptionally durable printhead

All three of these business-class printers use a unique, piezo- electric printhead that is considerably wider than conventional inkjet printheads. Each printhead can print two lines simultaneously, so it can print each page faster. These printheads also offer much higher reliability. They can easily handle the viscous gel ink without clogging, and they last for the entire life of the printer and never need to be replaced. These printheads also use M-Dot technology to manipulate dot size to achieve a maximum resolution equivalent of 3,600 x 1,200 dpi.

The Lanier GX5050N features

an optional 500-sheet paper feed

unit that minimizes reloading.
