Basic SpecificationsResolution

Scanning AreaMZ790U Max 11.7 " x 17" (297 x 432mm)

Scanner 600 x 600dpi （ RZ3/5: 300 x 600dpi)

TPH 600e-dpi x 600 （ Same as RZ3/5 ）

Effect of 600x600dpi Scanning1. Effective for Link-print

Scanning speed is also twice as fast Faster Link-print2. Not as effective for master-making• Since the scanned data is converted to 600e, there is not much difference

compared with the RZ3&5. But the quality of the scanner–lens itself is better, so photo or half-tone images can be reproduced more precisely.

Basic SpecificationsOther Paper-feeding Information “Extended-paper” mode （ 1 paper / 2 drum rotations ）

You can print on paper with a length of 21.9“(555mm) maximum, by storing the paper as a “custom-size-paper” from the panel.

When printing on a paper 17.2“(436mm) long (or longer), the machine will automatically switch to “Extended-paper mode”.

Interval print Useful when you want to gain more time to dry ink. You can

specify the paper-feed interval (number of free drum-rotations) from 1 to 10 rotations.

Drum 1 is recommended for single-color printing Less paper-size restrictions. Quicker master-making time. Set your most frequently used drum to Drum 1.

Master-making Time　　 Letter, Portrait / 100% reproduction

2 color master can be imaged within 1 minute!!! Master-making for a single color can be made as quickly as a

single-color unit.

Thanks to the one-pass-two-color mechanism of MZ, the difference between each color is extremely small. (within 1/128” (0.2mm))

Note: The first few prints may differ up to 1/64” (0.5mm).

New Features

Although connected, most customers use paper-originals.

Having a method to simplify multi-color printing using hard copy originals is essential!!

Multi-color printing using hard copy Multi-color printing using hard copy originals is incredibly easy with the MZ.originals is incredibly easy with the MZ.

New Features (1)
