Groundbreaking technology
The IBM® Infoprint® Color 130 Plus powers personalized communications with groundbreaking technology that provides the ability to print fully variable content pages at very high print speeds and excellent print quality. Support for variable data allows each copy of the print run to be made unique with individualized images and data. This Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) system uses Infoprint Manager for AIX® or Print Services Facility™ (PSF™) for S/390® to manage printing on the Infoprint Color 130 Plus. These technologies can help lower the cost of operation and provide the user with the control, power, and flexibility required by the e-business world. Response rates can increase dramatically with variable data pictures, product offerings and text messages that are unique to a specific customer.
The way you’ve always wanted a printer to work
Advanced Function Presentation provides features that can help lower operation costs, ensure data integrity, and simply cause the printer to behave like you’ve always thought printers should. For example, AFP allows the production workflow to be automated. Traditional color printing systems require operators to manage image objects and the ripping process. The Infoprint Color 130 Plus system manages the caching of image objects and the entire ripping process. Operators do not need to manage RIP servers or track each job from ripping through printing.
