The Sharp BP-1200S is a state-of-the-art digital press that combines speed (120 pages per minute in 2,400 x 2,400dpi full-color), versatility, and advanced color capabilities. Let’s delve into the key features of this remarkable printing press:
1. 6-Color Printing System 
The standout feature of the BP-1200S is its 6-color printing system. Unlike traditional 4-color presses, this machine can print up to six colors in a single pass. The additional colors include the standard CMYK, as well as gold, silver, bright pink, and textured toners. This expanded color palette opens up exciting possibilities for creative designs and eye-catching prints.
2. Color-Logic and Touch7 Integration
The BP-1200S leverages cutting-edge software solutions for special effects and metallic embellishments. Here’s how it works:
- Color-Logic: Sharp collaborates with Color-Logic to achieve stunning metallic effects. By using silver toner in conjunction with CMYK, the press produces samples of metallics on conventional stocks. Additionally, Color-Logic software enables embellishments on Ecofoil metallic stock using white toner.
- Touch7: The distribution of Color-Logic, Touch7, plays a crucial role. With the Touch7 Neon Color System, the press generates an impressive array of 380 fluorescent and pastel colors in a single pass. These vibrant hues add a touch of magic to any print project.
