MISSISSAUGA, Ontario,
March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Delphax Technologies Canada Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Delphax Technologies Inc. (OTC:DLPX), a global
provider of high-speed digital printing equipment, today
announced an agreement to install an elan™ 500 cut
sheet MICR inkjet press for Public Works and Government Services
Canada in Quebec City.
The elan 500 combines major advances in inkjet and
paper-handling technologies, providing a robust
production class sheet-fed, duplex-capable system offering full
CMYK color and 1600 dpi print quality at speeds of up to 500 letter
impressions per minute. This placement was achieved in
conjunction with elan's selection as a pre-qualified
product in the Canadian government's coveted Built in Canada Innovation Program (BCIP), a program
promoting new and innovative goods and services designed and built
in Canada.
"As the first elan customer in Canada, Public Works and Government Services
Canada has given us the highest endorsement possible for our
technology, which will provide future color growth for applications
within Public Works and Government Services Canada," said
Dieter Schilling, president and
chief executive officer of Delphax Technologies Inc. "We believe
elan offers a combination of cost-effectiveness and
color-production quality that has the potential to reshape the
market. elan's price, sheet-fed configuration
and performance plus the ability to print MICR documents make it
the most versatile and affordable system to date in the market
place."
The elan digital front end (DFE) uses the
Harlequin HHR RIP from Global Graphics for both publishing and
variable workflow, driven by Delphax's unique scalable RIP
architecture. The intuitive touch-screen interface simplifies the
operator experience, keeping input options clear and
uncomplicated. Comprehensive reporting systems provide
detailed metrics and permit real-time analysis of system
performance for printer operators. elan's combination
of speed and sheet size make it the fastest cut sheet inkjet
printer in the market today.
elan is Delphax's response to a growing customer
demand for more efficient, versatile and affordable color printing
equipment, and it promises to be an ideal platform for commercial
print-on-demand challenges in direct mail, transpromotional,
billing, statements and book or manual publishing. Its
variable data, spot color and MICR capability are also expected to
make elan attractive to many other
printing market segments.
A pioneer in digital print production, Delphax has captured the
largest worldwide market share in check-printing applications,
developing a highly regarded global customer-service and support
organization in the process.
"We are positioning elan to have a
much broader market appeal than we could ask from our existing
monochrome products," Schilling said. "It represents an
entirely new category of digital print technology and offers a
combination of price and performance that we believe is unmatched
today and long awaited by the market."
