Win the DIMA Digital Printer Award


We are pleased to announce that Noritsu Koki minilabs from both the QSS-35 PLUS series and the QSS-37 series have been declared winners of the DIMA Digital Printer Shoot-Out Award, as they rose above the competition in their respective categories.

The QSS-35 PLUS series received the highest marks for print quality in the (RA4 digital printer) 8 inch paper category and the QSS-37 series was given the highest scores in the (RA4 digital printer) 12 inch paper category.

Noritsu's ongoing tradition of high quality is apparent in the fact that its products have won DIMA awards again this year after being recognized on numerous occasions in the past with the Innovative Digital Product Award and the Digital Printer Shoot-Out Award. (2008.02.01)

The QSS-35 PLUS series
New compact minilabs that meet your individual needs

Noritsu Koki is pleased to announce the QSS-3501i PLUS, QSS-3501 PLUS, and QSS-3502 PLUS, which are innovative additions to the highly popular QSS-35 series. These new compact minilabs, which are released in late June 2007, will be proudly displayed at PMA 2007 (held from the 8th to the 11th of March in Las Vegas, USA) as well as PIE 2007 (held from the 22nd to the 25th of March in Tokyo, Japan).

The new QSS-3501i/3501/3502 PLUS is a user-friendly, efficient, cost-effective minilab system that combines the same basic features as the QSS-35 series with even more features that meet a wide variety of customer needs, such as the ability to form a network connecting multiple printers, and a versatile layout in which the operation section (PC, monitor, scanner etc.) can be separated from the printer.

Features
High quality print engines
Noritsu Koki’s laser engine is used for the QSS-3501/3502 PLUS and an iBeam engine is used for the QSS-3501i PLUS. Both produce vivid, high quality prints of 300dpi.

Flexible layout

You can choose which side to operate the machine from, and the components can be separated and placed in various layouts, giving you more freedom to use the system in a way that best fits your available floor space. Furthermore you can also adjust the height by raising the table up to 20cm.

“AccuSmart™” image processing technology employed

Noritsu Koki’s AccuSmart™ technology enables you to easily portray the natural beauty of the scene as viewed by the photographer when the picture is taken. This advanced technology not only provides superb quality for well photographed images, it also applies appropriate correction to less-than-perfect shots, resulting in extremely high quality prints regardless of the image source.

A selection of new film scanners to choose from (film scanners sold separately)

With the QSS-35 PLUS series, you have three new film scanners to choose from. The HS-1800 supports a wide variety of film including 120, and the LS-600/LS-1100 support only 135 and IX240 film. You can also choose not to add a scanner, and instead use the QSS-3501i/3501/3502 PLUS as a stand-alone printer.
Scanning capacity LS-600 600 frames/hr, LS-1100 1100 frames/hr, HS-1800 1800 frames/hr

New operation software “EZ Controller” (sold separately)
The EZ Controller gives you the ability to easily perform many important functions such as PJP, value-added print creation, order management, and image correction. Furthermore, pictures are used to explain many of the instructions for start up checks and shut down checks, and warning messages are easy to locate and read.

Setup prints taken care of automatically
The colorimeter is built into the processor. This enables the setup print to be automatically inserted into the colorimeter after it comes out of the dryer unit, eliminating the need for manual operations. Also, the QSS-35 PLUS series has a new option called the “Control Strip Auto Loading Unit” that automatically processes control strips.

Interrupted orders signified by LED lamp

LED lamps on the order sorter (Standard for QSS-3502 PLUS. Option for QSS-3501i/3501 PLUS.) are used to indicate which orders have been interrupted and which print trays the interrupted orders are in.

Rapid processing

When purchasing a QSS-35 PLUS minilab you can specify a rapid processing system which uses specified chemicals to achieve a reduced processing time, opening the door for an on-the-spot print service where the customers can drop off their media and pick up their prints a single visit.
Note Only specified chemicals and paper can be used.

Prints up to 914.4mm (36 inches) long
The standard maximum paper advance length is 610mm, and this can be extended to 914.4mm if you add an option, making it possible to provide a wide variety of print services.
QSS-3501/3502PLUS only

Dual/Triple Magazines (Factory option)

An array of options

The QSS-35 PLUS series supports the MD-2 Unit, Bravo II/Rimage CD writers, DVD writing and many other options to provide a scalable system that allows you to add new services as needed.

Can be converted into a one pass system (Optional attachment units required)

The film processor (QSF-T15) and the scanner (LS-600/LS-1100) can be combined into a single unit enabling the film to be automatically fed into the scanner as it comes out of the processor. This all-in-one configuration automates the entire process from 135 film development to printing, enabling unattended operation.
Note One pass processing is only possible with 135 film.
