Features of the Machine
What's the LEC-300A/330?
The LEC-300A/330 is a printer that performs high-quality printing using ultraviolet (UV) inks and is
equipped with a cutting feature. Not only can you use the unit as either a printer or a cutting machine,
but you can also perform printing followed immediately by cutting. Also, using the crop-mark feature lets
you detach the media after printing, then load it again and position it accurately for cutting. This makes
possible a wide range of uses, including small batches of labels, decals, cut-out text, and signmaking.
Built-in Print Server
This machine has a built-in print server as a network interface. When you use the print server, you can
send printing data to the machine from anywhere on the network.
Includes a Media Take-up System
To accommodate printing of lengthy media, the machine includes a media take-up system. This is
capable of taking up media automatically during printing. This makes possible unattended operation
at night and ecient printing of lengthy media.
Includes a Software Raster Image Processor (RIP)
The software RIP included with the machine lets you use your computer to perform raster image
processing for printing data such as PostScript les exported from a program, and output the data to
the machine.
Features of ECO-UV inks
The LEC-300A/330 uses ECO-UV inks. ECO-UV inks are xed to the media instantly by ultraviolet light.
This makes it possible to perform printing on media that is dicult to print using conventional inks.
ECO-UV inks are available in a line-up of six colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, white, and gloss).
