Quick Tech Summary
  • Print speeds (up to) 1440 IPM¹
  • Maximum print width of 19.0" (482 mm)
  • Industry-leading 600-DPI image quality

Introducing our next-generation digital publishing and production output solution. The InfoPrint® 4100 continuous forms printer can produce the high image and text quality available only from cutsheet solutions. The cost savings potential is enormous. Book printers can reduce the costs of printing short run books or technical manuals. Direct mailers and service bureaus can lower costs by running a broad range of paper weights at higher speeds. And enterprise production centers can reduce operation costs with the higher speed and the flexibility of integrated tractored or tractorless printing—all while providing a uncompromising print quality.

  • High speed at up to 330 linear feet/100.6 meters per minute (1,440 2-up duplex letter impressions or 1354 2-up A4 duplex impressions)¹
  • High level of print quality for text, graphics and images for a competitive advantage.
  • Innovative 256-level grayscale simulation of color objects
