Image quality

Quality gradations so fine, colours so vivid, it’s like having an offset press on your production floor. S.E.A.D. processing technology, for image quality that exceeds all expectations.

S.E.A.D. (Screen-Enhancing Active Digital Processing) is the core image processing technology behind the bizhub PRO C5501 Professional. This image processing system works closely with the machine’s optics, developing unit and other processes to emphasise each component’s unique characteristics and make possible a comprehensive, high-class image processing environment.

IT BIT TECHNOLOGY

Four features to improve imaging accuracy: Laser Exposure Control, Dot Position Control, Multi-bit Screen and Text Enhancement.

HI-PER ASIC

An exclusive ASIC layout that offers full digital control over imaging processes.

IT bit (Image Tag bit) Technology

A collection of four technologies:

laser exposure with nanosecond pulse control for precise dot placement of each colour,

dot position control to write in fine resolution (1/256 of total dot width) for detailed edges of fine lines and text that runs together smoothly,

multi-bit screening that performs 4 bit processing in the engine to express fine gradations, and

text enhancement to accurately detect the area of print data and reproduce the colours and unique characteristics of text.

CRS (Colour Retention and Stability) Technology

An exclusive technology that continuously monitors the status of the main body, receiving feedback about changes in the print environment and the engine to make adjustments necessary to maintain high print quality.

HI-PER ASIC

An exclusive ASIC layout streamlines the imaging process from the optical system to the writing system. Each imaging step is fully controlled digitally to enable 600 dpi x 8 bit colour output at 55 ipm in extremely high image quality.
