 IBM 4000 High-resolution, high-quality, high-speed printing
for print-on-demand and production applications.
4000 High-resolution 
Highlights
- High-resolution printing at 480- or 600-dpi with new, accelerated speeds up to 708 duplex letter-size ipm
- A complete system for printing both Adobe PostScript and AFP files
- Cost-effective, duplex, continuous- forms printing of PostScript and image files with up to a 17-inch- wide print line
- Ability to leverage traditional corporate applications, print-on-demand - short run jobs that have
migrated from offset press including custom output, and digital publishing - books
Businesses worldwide must meet customer needs for high-quality, graphics-rich documents, as well as
the need for traditional production print applications such as billing statements and reports. Now, a single solution exists to digitally print high resolution, Adobe® PostScript® 600-dpi documents and
Advanced Function PresentationTM (AFPTM) 480- and 600-dpi documents at speeds of up to 708 impressions per minute.
A Single Solution
Introducing the IBM® Infoprint® 4000 High Resolution Duplex Printing System -- a printer combined with a complete print file submission and print management process for PostScript Level 2 and legacy
AFP applications.
The IBM Infoprint 4000 offers high- speed, high-volume, cost-effective, duplex continuous-forms printing
that gives companies the opportunity to expand business and take on more complex applications.
This specially architected printing solution combines advanced controller and print server technology to
deliver high-performance, manageable printing.
The newest member of the Infoprint 4000 family prints up to an accelerated 708 impressions per
minute. Because this printer outputs such high speeds and maintains excellent print quality, it provides print shops the opportunity to cost-effectively process larger jobs. It also enables production
printing customers to print higher resolutions and provide their clients with more impactful business statements.
For those customers who already leverage the power of Infoprint 4000 printers and want to protect their initial hardware investment, on-site upgrades can deliver the family's newest speeds and capabilities.
Power to Perform
The printer's enhanced control unit allows switching between 480- and 600-dpi resolutions. With this
option, operators can select the resolution to meet the needs of both traditional AFP production printing and PostScript print-on-demand jobs designed for 240-, 300-, 480- or 600-dpi resolution.
The Infoprint 4000's enhanced control unit also provides faster data processing, enabling one-off documents to print more quickly. This is an especially valuable, time-saving feature for customized
documents that contain variable data on each page. The processor's speed allows the use of Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), a fiber optic LAN attachment that enables the quick processing of
jobs from the print queue to the printer.
Excellent Print Quality
The IBM Infoprint 4000 delivers outstanding print quality and is equipped with an enhanced developer
system, your choice of toner formulations and the IBM-exclusive Print Quality Enhancement technology. Together they provide darker black fill, smoother edges and boldness control to enhance overall document image.
More Than Just a Printer
The fast-turnaround, print-on-demand market and production print environments require efficient file
management. Therefore, IBM has designed Infoprint Manager, a complete software and hardware solution that allows print-file management to multiple printers or other supported output devices. The
solution manages diverse print jobs, from high-volume reports to customized marketing materials.
IBM's solution provides the richness of the PostScript page description language and IBM's extensive
experience in printing mission-critical applications with AFP. A true PostScript Level 2 RIP ensures optimal processing of desktop graphics print files. The IBM technology enables systems-managed
printing rather than people-managed printing to ensure uniformly high quality and data integrity.
Paper Flexibility
Optional pinless drive technology allows the IBM Infoprint 4000 to run plain paper as well as traditional tractor-fed paper. This technology dramatically reduces dust and waste materials, which improves
registration, reduces jams and enhances overall print quality. By eliminating useless paper trim, users realize substantial cost savings. Through the use of roll-feed technology, the IBM Infoprint 4000
provides more flexible paper sizes and weights, enabling a wider range of digital printing jobs.
IBM Supplies and Service
Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, IBM offers a full range of services, from hardware maintenance to software support. IBM printer-specific supplies and papers are manufactured to high
quality standards and are designed to optimize the performance of your printer at a competitive price.
