Pictura 310 Printer Wins Macworld's Editors Choice Award


FARGO's low-cost, high-quality page printers continue to win the highest accolades and praises of countless industry experts. The latest honor bestowed on a FARGO printer comes from the January issue of Macworld, where the Pictura 310 has been given the prestigious Editor's Choice Award.

In addition to the Editor's Choice Award, the Pictura 310 received consistently high marks from a test panel of eleven Macworld editorial and art department staffers. According to Macworld editor Jim Heid, "In the Adobe(TM) Photoshop image test, the Pictura 310 took first place beating machines that costs several times more." Heid adds, "FARGO's Pictura 310 provides remarkably good quality for $4995."

Available for Windows or Macintosh, Pictura 310 is an affordable dual-function dye-sublimation and wax thermal transfer tabloid-size color page printer. The printer delivers continuous tone, photo-realistic 24-bit color dye-sublimation prints as well as fast and inexpensive wax thermal transfer color proofs, for a fraction of the cost of the closest competition.

The standard 12" x 20" (305 x 508mm) page size allows the Pictura 310 to print a wide range of format sizes in 300 x 300 dpi resolution, including B, B-long, A3, A3-long, B/A3 super, A, A-long and A4-long. The 310e will even accept standard and legal size plain or coated media.
