Rena Mach 8 Digital Color Document Printer

The Mach 8 is RENA’s newest top of the line printer. This is one heavy duty machine that gets the job done and gets it done quickly. It is meant for printing large quantities of letter size sheets of paper, so you won’t have to keep refilling the paper tray over and over.

Bring your printed documents to life with its stunning full color inkjet printing system by Memjet. With this revolutionary technology, you can achieve the best of both worlds: productivity and quality. At best quality, imagine printing 60 pages per minute at 1600 x 800 dpi!

Not only does the Mach 8 give you productivity and quality, but it also gives you profitability. You will quickly see a return on investment with this high performance machine. The ink tanks each hold a volume of 250 ml so you can rest easy knowing your printing costs are under control.

Because it’s all digital, there are no setup costs and you can also produce small runs for those times when you only need to print a handful of documents. Variable images and data can be used so that every piece that is printed is unique.

Along with the rest of RENA’s product line, the Mach 8 is built to keep you satisfied for years on end with its sturdy and American-made all metal construction.

    mColor RIP & Workflow Software for the Mach 8 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 8 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 8.

    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.
