Mitsubishi Dye-Subs Let It Bleed
Pamela Pfiffner
IF YOU'RE GOING TO PAY for an expensive dye-sub printer, why not buy one that can print page spreads at full size with color bleeds? Mitsubishi's new DiamondScript I (a.k.a. the S6600-40U) allows you to print images of up to 11.92 x 17.17 inches at resolutions as high as 300 x 600 dpi.
Unlike Mitsubishi's previous tabloid-capable dye-sub, the DiamondScript I includes an Adobe PostScript Level 2 controller and supports Apple's ColorSync color-matching standard. Priced at $14,995, this new model ships with 24 MB of RAM, so you can start printing right out of the box. A 260-MB internal hard drive serves as a print spooler and stores frequently downloaded fonts. Parallel, serial, and LocalTalk connections are included, and EtherTalk is a $990 option.
It accepts four paper sizes -- letter, legal, tabloid, and wide tabloid -- and uses monochrome, three-color, or four-color ribbons. 800-843-2515 or 714-220-2500.
