Digital color is great for your business. It gets attention, it delivers revenue, it increases response, it makes money for you. Up until now, it has also come at a high price. Either the hardware investment was sky high or the ongoing suppy costs were easting profits. Inkjet offered the solution to both, but was painfully slow. It's time for a technology breakthrough - a revolutionary one.
Well that time has come! Introducing the Rena Mach 5 Digital Color Printer featuring unprecedented digital Memjet technology. How unprecedented? The Mach 5 has a single, fixed printhead that has over 70,000 nozzles producing brilliant graphics at 1,600 dosts per inch and print speeds up to 12 inches per second.
Not only is the new Rena Mach 5 a productivity boosting machine - it's also extremely cost efficient. The five ink tanks hold 250ml of ink for long job runs and low cost per piece. Compared to existing systems, we can run 3 times longer on a set of ink tanks that cost substantially less than toner. All without any fragile drums or fusers to replace. It's a tremendous profit center that will improve your business dramatically.
Key FeaturesTypical Applications for the Rena Mach 5

The Mach 5 prints high resolution trade quality company logos quickly and inexpensively on many types of paper including Bond, Laser, Linen & Coated Stocks for affordable and easy to customize letterhead. Ideal for affordable short runs when offset doesn’t make sense.
Custom Color Return Address
The RENA Mach 5 prints high quality fonts and text at high speed for applications such as the return address with full color logos on envelopes, flats, cards and letterhead.
Wedding, Birthday, Holiday Card and Special Event Invitation Printing
The RENA Mach 5 prints the high quality formal invitations and envelopes for events such as weddings and reunions in full high resolution color and deep saturated black fonts and creative cursives. It prints high resolution graphics and text at high speed, ideal for the short run production of Holiday Cards with variable data such as address and colorful family holiday pictures in one pass.

Postage Printing
The RENA Mach 5 can print paid Postage in the form of Prepaid Postal Permit (in dazzling color for higher response) or downloadable variable or static postage provided by PC postage providers.
Invoices With Variable Data and Trans-Promo

Cut Sheet Single Labels For Shipping Items
The RENA Mach 5 prints vibrant color shipping labels and information for delivery on cut sheet labels at high speed in high resolution color. Digital color means no setup cost and low volume customized labels are now economical.
Printing On Windowed Envelopes
The RENA Mach 5 can print on previously laser printed or regular windowed envelopes since it does not use heat to print the items and will not affect the print already on the piece nor melt the window of an envelope. Ideally suited, it is perfect for items that need to be printed over that have been through a Laser printed machine, or windowed envelope of any size or type.
mColor RIP & Workflow Software for the Mach 5 Digital Printer
Print like a professional and increase productivity
Rena System's optional mColor RIP & Workflow Software incorporates color management tools, production job presets, hot folders and the powerful Harlequin RIP engine into one workflow product. mColor delivers predictable and repeatable standardization of color and improves overall image quality.
With its easy-to-use job workflow interface, mColor provides the tools to automate production, manage jobs and deliver professional color quality control to both businesses and commercial printers
Advanced Color Management and Spot Matching
The mColor RIP provides the tools to edit spot color without being an Adobe Photoshop or color expert. Adapt spot color to match existing color specifications painlessly. mColor identifies colors in your image automatically. From there, the user can print out color swatches on their material for comparison, adjust the colors, save the changes per job or globally, then go print.
ICC Profiles
Built in ICC color profiles ensure the best possible output on a wide variety of papers including commodity grade envelopes, standard office paper, inkjet gloss and matte finish paper and inkjet envelopes. The examples shown reflect the difference of one file printed by the Mach 5 on the same grade envelope, using the Windows driver versus mColor software
Harlequin RIP Technology
For commercial printing you need robust and reliable RIP software that gives high performance, quality and efficiency. That's why we built mColor around the state-of-the-art Harlequin RIP - the expert printer's choice. mColor's integrated Harlequin RIP provides the performance and productivity to maximize output quality from the Mach 5.
Workflow Productivity
Submit, manage and preview jobs anywhere on the network from a Mac or PC. Store and save print files and configurations for future use, making repeat jobs quick and easy.
