Parts and Supplies

Cost-effective photo realistic color printing

With the new Tektronix Phaser 480X dye sublimation color printer, you can substantially cut overhead expenses and look great at the same time.  Now you can print full-bleed, double-page spreads, at a speed of up to 3.2 minutes per page.  The Phaser 480X Provides workgroup color printing for graphic arts, engineering/scientific, and other photo realistic applications.

Color Expertise You Can Count On

The Phaser 480X features the expanded color matching capabilities of our exclusive TekColor  rendering software.  Graphic artist can rely on TekColor Dynamic Correction for color matching simulations of Commercial, SWOP (Specifications for Web Offset Publication), or Euro scale presses.  Just what you need for critical colors such as skin tones, product color matches, and corporate colors.

PANTONE ®*-approved Process Color simulations are standard. For applications that require
additional color management support, an EfiColor(TM) profile is available.

As a co-developer with Adobe of the PostScript Level 2 software for Tektronix printers, our
engineers have optimized the Phaser 480X for state-of-the-art color-rendering and image
processing. The result is fast, accurate color printing for your workgroup at affordable,
in-house prices.

Crisp Type and Fine Details

For most dye sublimation printers, the same properties that enhance smooth, photo-realistic
color transitions also tend to soften type and hard edges. But thanks to our exclusive
TekColor Photofine (TM) rendering technology, the Phaser 480X outputs sharp text, crisp
graphics, and smooth, photographic shading.


Accurate Imaging of Technical Information

For engineers and scientists, the Phaser 480X offers large format,
continuous-tone color printing that accurately captures fine details. Perfect
for solids modeling, cartography, architectural rendering and satellite imaging.
If your application requires matching the colors on your display, choose the
Simulate Display color correction setting.


Built-in Memory for Low Overhead

An impressive 32 Mbytes of RAM is standard (expandable to 112 Mbytes). That's enough
memory to handle most large photographic files, without the additional expense of a
high-end, dedicated server. With the Phaser 480X, you won't tie up your computer with
image processing. It all takes place in the printer. You can add memory, up to a total of 112
Mbytes, to maximize input buffers and throughput, as your application requires.

Built for Workgroup Productivity

You don't have to be a systems expert to share the Phaser 480X with
your workgroup. There's no hardware to install in your computer, no
dedicated print server required. Just plug it in and you're ready to share
it with Macs, PCs, and workstations - simultaneously. Ethernet is
available in EtherTalk (TM), Novell NetWare, and TCP/IP (TM) protocols.
