What is the largest size paper you can run?

The 9050 offers a maximum image area of 12 3/8” x 21 9/16”, the 7050 offers a maximum image area of 12 3/8” x 21 9/16”, the 7010 offers a maximum image area of 12 3/8” x 21 7/16”, the 3050 and 3010 offer a maximum image area of 8 ¼” x 21 7/16”.
Why are the maximum paper size and the maximum image area different?
This allows customers to run images on larger format papers, and trim to a full bleed to the desired output size. Additionally, the printer requires a small margin of whitespace around the edge of the sheet.

The ComColor series comes with an optional Adobe PostScriptTM controller to handle graphic-intensive and VDP applications.

It duplexes at 75 sheets (150 images, 2 images per sheet) per minute.
Will the ComColor feed envelopes?
Yes! The ComColor printer can run envelopes from 4” x 6” to 10” x 13”. Average print speed for envelopes is 85 #10 envelopes per minute.
