When maximum productivity and fine control over color are essential, the Canon ColorPASS-Z650 color server delivers the power to perform. It’s a robust, mid-range RIP solution that transforms Canon CLC 1100 Series copiers into network printers, dramatically enhancing the capabilities of these devices with a level of color quality and consistency once reserved for high-level commercial printers.

Powered by a high-speed 1 GHz Intel Pentium III processor, a 40 GB hard drive, 256 MB of RAM, and an internal 250 MB Zip drive, the Z650 utilizes a NetWise™ 3 open architecture can store and transport a wide range of files across virtually any network, platform, or application. The ColorWise® 3 color management system provides a wide array of color correction and calibration tools for achieving consistent color time and time again. There’s even a new Command WorkStation™ 4, which automatically detects all ColorPASS devices and servers on your network, so you can manage them easily from the same window.

Topping things off is a long list of utilities and extras. With Job Submission, you're able to send files in PDF format to the CLC via E-mail from any location. Multiuser Access enables all users to be linked to the entire production process from any desktop PC, significantly reducing prepress time. Fiery® Scan™ technology provides advanced network scanning and delivery capabilities, including tabloid size scanning and Scan-to-Email. And with the optional Graphic Arts Package, you can experience exceptional control over output quality and greater accuracy in proofing.

What is a RIP (Raster Image Processor)? A RIP is a hardware or combination hardware/software product that converts images described in the form of vector graphics statements or Post Script page descriptions into rasterized graphic images or bitmaps. For example, laser printers use RIPs to convert images that arrive in vector form (such as text in a specified font) into a rasterized form that can then be edited and printed.

With an architecture designed to handle complex color files and maximize printing performance, the ColorPASS-Z650 is a perfect fit for production-intensive and high-end graphic arts environments where color accuracy and consistency are absolutely critical—from pre-press facilities to commercial print shops. Its speed and ease-of-use lets you experience true on-demand printing; ideal for short production runs, intermediate proofing, and other fast turnaround jobs.

Connect the ColorPASS-Z650 to any of these Canon CLC 1100 Series copiers for exceptional image quality at remarkable speed: CLC 1100, CLC 1120, CLC 1140, CLC 1150, and CLC 1180.
