MINNEAPOLIS -- VirtualFund.com, Inc.(Nasdaq: VFND - news), a diversified technology company, today announced that ColorSpan Corporation, the principal operating subsidiary of its Digital Graphics Business Unit (DGBU), will launch a new series of wide-format digital color printers, the DisplayMaker® Series XII, at Seybold Seminars, at Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts, March 2-4, 1999.The DisplayMaker Series XII printers print from seven to ten times faster than other wide-format digital printers with print speeds up to 240 square feet per hour.They include twelve (12) 600-dpi printheads with Gamut+ Variable Mode Printing for the widest color gamut and greatest flexibility of any printer available today.With prices starting at $18,995, these DisplayMaker Series XII inkjet printers are available in 52-inch, 62-inch, and 72-inch widths and will begin shipping in limited quantities by March 29, 1999. Mel Masters, ColorSpan Chief Executive Officer, stated, ``The DisplayMaker Series XII represents a new milestone in continuing our technological leadership in the wide-format printing market.The expanded color gamut and increased output speed of these printers make them ideal not only for print-for-pay operations but also for anyone who wants to improve price- performance.No other company offers precision image quality this high coupled with the ability to select from up to 12 colors.Our exclusive Gamut+ Variable Mode Printing provides even more flexibility and gives users the ability to select colors that fit their specific needs.'' The DisplayMaker Series XII is supported by raster image processors (RIPs) from ColorSpan and from third party RIP suppliers.ColorSpan's ColorMark® Pro 4000 Print Server is based on a powerful PostScript-language compatible RIP and features a state-of-the-art superscalar processor for incredibly fast processing speeds.
Markets ``With 12 printheads and Variable Mode Printing, the Series XII offers speed, flexibility and productivity unavailable on other thermal inkjet printers,'' continued Masters.``The result is a printer that delivers output better and faster than any other printer and that offers a way for print-for-pay providers to differentiate themselves from their competition -- through both quality and productivity.''
