Hardware Description

In September 1998, NEC announced two A4 color inkjet printers: the PICTY700, which was still affordably priced despite having six ink colors, and the PICTY900, a high-speed printer with a top color printing speed of five pages per minute. Both printers supported USB connections and delivered print quality on par with photographs. They also met a wide range of image processing needs because they came standard with a multi-page zoom printing function as well as two very convenient software packages for creating greeting cards, banners, and signs as well as calendars.
