Primera Technology pictura 310cs Benutzerhandbuch

The Pictura 310cs Vinyl Sign Printer from PRIMERA Technology prints spectacular, full-color graphics and text directly
onto vinyl, achieving high-quality images and dramatic special effects. And, with two additional built-in print modes, it
offers virtually unlimited printing capabilities – creating new sales opportunities for your business! 

Using the 

resin-thermal transfer print mode of the Pictura 310cs, you can create attention-getting color vinyl signs for

indoor and outdoor use. It’s an affordable way to produce a variety of custom signs, vehicle graphics, plaques and more. 

Images can be printed in up to 16.7 million process colors or a variety of spot colors, and are outdoor-durable for
three years or more.* Print virtually anything – complex graphics, half-tone photos, airbrush effects, gradient fills,
even text-intensive signs, in just minutes with little or
no weeding.

You can also use Pictura’s wax-thermal transfer print mode to produce professional-quality customer proofs on paper,
at affordable costs. Or create colorful heat transfers for T-shirts,
sweatshirts, photo puzzles and other fun applications that can be used as unique promotional items.

PRIMERA’s exclusive paneled ribbon system creates convenient, hands-free printing – in all three print modes. You
won’t have to stay close by to load separate ribbons for each process color, as with other vinyl sign printers. Simply set
up your print job and walk away!

FargoColor™ color-matching, Apple® ColorSync™ 2.0 and ICC-compliant color profiles assure brilliant, accurate
color matching on all of your full-color photographic signage. 

A dual, auto-switching interface lets you print from both platforms, without the hassle or expense of two separate
printers. And for increased performance, Macintosh printer drivers are accelerated for PowerPC.™

Pictura 310cs supports popular sign-making software programs such as FlexiSIGN®

, SignLab, CASmate, CorelDRAW™

and others.

No other digital color sign printer offers the versatility of the Pictura 310cs. Capable of producing full-color vinyl signs,
stunning photos, colorful proofs and heat transfers, it’s three printers in one! And, because Pictura carries one of the
industry’s lowest prices, you get more performance for your money.
