When printing, colour edges and text/graphic clarity are amazingly enhanced. The new Polymerized toner delivers extremely sharp professional image qualities for maximum results.

The Eco-simulator within the driver allows customers to set up their preference and shows how much toner, electricity and paper have been saved in real-time, depending on the settings of the user. In addition, the one touch Eco-button instantly activates previously set Eco-printing function.
