1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
DLA Document Services requires the Equipment to be delivered and installed, and include ongoing associated services provided to DLA facilities located throughout the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) locations. (See Attachment 4 - Facility Locations.).
1.1 Specific equipment capability requirements for devices are set forth in Attachment 2. All proposed devices must contain, at a minimum, the requirements listed in Attachment 2. Please note that tandem connected units are defined as print engines housed in separate constructions connected to other printers to meet the page per minute requirements and are NOT acceptable.
1.1.1 DLA expects to purchase up to thirty (30) 64” Wide Format Printers
1.1.1.1 The printer must demonstrate the capability to consistently achieve a high quality in a print-on-demand context. It should have the versatility to print using a single printing unit, with the ability for large-format media to include the following media types. Vendor to provide any additional media device can support:
bond paper canvas media
SP7000-25-RFI-1017
Semi-gloss Synthetic Tyvek Vinyl
1.1.1.2 For mapping output, it is imperative that the digital printer ensures that all printed products uphold and maintain the mission requirements of the services for color; Red/Green/Blue readability in low light conditions; overprint; and registration. Certification for Mapping, Charting and Geodesy (MC&G) device requirements are accomplished by National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA); either by desktop evaluation of products or on-site evaluation at location where equipment is to be placed. See below for requirements.
1.1.1.3 Color: For NGA products, colors will be defined against MIL-STD-3060 and the approved color target using a color spectrometer, X-Rite i1 Pro or comparable, to determine L*a*b value. The L*a*b value will be incorporated to the color library on the controller. Colors must be within a color delta equal to or less than 2% but not greater than 5% compared to the color target provided by NGA. Once certified, the operator will be required to make sure the device retains proper color outputs daily or more frequent depending on demand.
1.1.1.4 Red/Green/Blue readability in low light and night conditions: Proper color will help establish the Red/Green/Blue light readability. Total brightness, or illumination level, of the light has a potentially more significant effect on night vision retention than does the choice of red or green. Therefore, digital printing must ensure that all printed products uphold and maintain the mission requirements of the Services that allow for Red/Green/Blue light readability in low light conditions. Thus, specific spot colors must be continually tested under low light conditions using a Red/Green/Blue light lens to ensure Red/Green/Blue output is visible and legible under these lighting conditions. Not all MC&G products have requirements for Red/Green/Blue or a mixture there of. During testing, specific maps will be identified to ensure Red/Green/Blue readability is tested.
1.1.1.5 Overprint: It is also imperative that devices support overprinting. Where pigments overlap, they can either knockout or overprint one another. When an element is set to “knockout,” elements directly underneath that element are eliminated to ensure color fidelity. When an element is set to “overprint,” elements below remain visible as the pigment of the top element is layered over the elements below. Overprinting is a mandatory setting for Mapping, Charting, and Geodesy (MC&G) products. Overprinting is included in the output requirements that must pass NGA certifications.
1.1.1.6 Registration: Color registration is required and must be within <0.15 mm or less. A print bar configuration or equivalent is to be used to ensure consistent registration is applied across long runs. Print bar technology allows for printing to occur by simply moving the paper across the print bar while inkjet nozzles are fired. This technology provides automated processes and routines to calibrate and register the device which ensures a more reliable registration and image repeatability process.
1.1.1.7 Continuous Calibration: Using drums, developer stations, high voltage charge units, high temperature fusing unit and transfer belt processes, require multiple passes that create a stretching effect on the document. Which causes registration problems over long runs requiring continuous calibration of the equipment to keep registration within specifications.
1.1.1.8 Quality: The printer must demonstrate the capability to consistently achieve a high standard of quality in a print-on-demand context. It should have the versatility to print on both rigid and non-rigid media, including paper, cardstock, corrugated plastic, and foam core, as well as providing flexibility to accommodate the varied scope of a hybrid job delivery environment. It must be capable of producing deliverables for boards, posters, banners, and maps, using a single printing unit, with duplex printing ability for large-format media.
1.2 DLA Document Services requires offerors to propose equipment to meet minimum specifications for the following requirements on Attachment 2 (if offeror has additional items/equipment to propose, please include specifications on Attachment 2):
-PC/Workstation -Software RIP Note: Software RIP must be able to support multiple printers of the same make.
1.3 The Contractor will configure controller and device to support MIL-STD-3060 and the NGA Color Target values to achieve device certification by NGA, see paragraph 1.1.1.3 .
