Frequently Asked Questions
Why would an office consider the discontinued IM C4500 versus current models?
The IM C4500 remains valuable for organisations with established workflows using this model. At 45 ppm, it handles very high-volume color production; availability through Procure.ae depends on stock.
What types of organisations benefit from 45 ppm color output?
Large corporations, print bureaus, design studios, and government departments producing 2,000+ documents daily leverage the IM C4500s speed. It supports continuous color workflows without bottlenecks.
How does 54 OPM single-pass document feeder scanning improve efficiency?
Single-pass scanning (both sides simultaneously) at 54 OPM rapidly digitises incoming batches. Processing 1,000 pages takes just 20 minutes, ideal for mass intake of correspondence and contracts.
What is the advantage of the 4,700-sheet paper capacity?
The large tray enables 12+ hours of uninterrupted printing at moderate volume, or 4-6 hours at peak 45 ppm output. Offices avoid frequent paper refilling and associated productivity loss.
