Alps MD 2010

Alps Electric has come up with a winner with their MD 2010 printer. This printer produces excellent color on coated paper and great color on regular copy paper using dry ribbon cartridges. The cartridges are inexpensive and easy to exchange or replace. Colors can be installed in any of the four cartridge holders and the printer will know the holder location through an internal sensing mechanism. It will also let you know when to change ribbons or if the ribbons are installed reversed. No messy ink cartridges to go dry. No tricolour cartridges to toss when one color runs out. The ALPS system is painless and really clean. The black and white print looks great at all three resolutions: 300x300, 600X600 and 1200x600. The color options are 600x600 and 300x300. Dozens of options are available to choose from. Opening the print options feature, one can choose and change any parameter within the six folders: media quality, color resolution, half toning, image setting (brightness, contract and color balance), document type (automatic, business graphic, graphic art, photograph, monochrome picture, monochrome text, metallic color, metallic with full color and custom options) and paper (plain special or thick paper, transparency, iron on sheet or back print film).
