Further Information

Canon's Colour Network Printer Unit H1 is powerful embedded controller that optimises the performance of the CLC4040 and CLC5151. By blending consistent production performance and consistent high quality, the Colour Network Printer Unit H1 is the ideal choice for busy light production environments

Performance

The Colour Network Printer Unit enables high speed processing of colour-intensive files, as well as optimised performance when processing PDF's.

To ensure the maximum efficiency of your print environment, the Colour Network Printer Unit H1 incorporates powerful yet simple-to-use facilities that enable the effective pre-and-post management of files.

The highest quality

The Colour Network Printer Unit H1 incorporates numerous features to ensure you can produce vibrant, consistent colour images and text, print after print, day after day using the CLC4040 or CLC5151.

Automatic trapping eliminates white edges around texts and solids, and access for halftone simulation edits is possible as the Colour Network Printer Unit H1 supports all overprinting commands specified in source applications like Quark and Adobe InDesign (PS or PDF).

As well as enabling halftone printing, the Mini Graphic Arts Package enables you to carry out "soft proofing", by proofing in full-screen mode without needing to print, cutting job turnaround times and enhancing productivity.

Control

Print activity is managed through the Command Workstation that makes job set-up, management and adjustments simple. The user interface can even be customised to fit your specific requirements.
