Océ LightJet® 500XL
Description
The Océ LightJet 500XL is the first and only photo laser printer to go superwide - up to 76 inches wide, making it the ideal output device where high quality, high throughput, and low consumables costs are required. The Océ LightJet 500XL is a continuous-tone imager, producing displays with an apparent resolution of 4,000 dpi. It is also fast – a full-sized print is imaged in under eight minutes (equivalent to 496 ft²/hr). An RA4 processor is required.
Features & Highlights

Apparent resolution 4,000 dpi

True continuous tone photographic imaging for superior backlit and reflective prints
Océ LightJet printers use continuous tone photographic media, which means each point on an image can be any shade of 68 billion colors. The higher range of possible colors results in more accurate representation of color-sensitive subjects such as skin tone.
Fast print speeds mean high productivity for multiple prints and fast turnaround projects
The Océ LightJet 500XL is the fastest large format photo imager in its class with a print speed of up to 496 ft²/hr. A 72-inch by 120-inch image takes less than eight minutes to complete.
Internal drum imaging provides better image sharpness
Océ LightJet internal drum technology ensures more uniform image quality across the entire width of the print, highest geometric accuracy, better image sharpness, highest density and excellent color uniformity.
An open interface lets users choose the ideal digital workflow
Océ LightJet FE software accepts digital files from networks and third party RIPs using a hot folder. Or, use the recommended Océ edition of Onyx PosterShop® software - an industry standard RIP for large format printers featuring tiling, nesting, spot color replacement, ICC workflow, supported cutting marks, and a scalable client-server architecture.
