Big year for FX with 30 Color 800/1000 install

Fuji Xerox is celebrating the success of its new printing engine with an installed base of 30 since its launch in August.

In the five months since the machine came onto the market the acceptance of the new technology has delighted Henryk Kraszewski, Production Marketing Manager at Fuji Xerox Australia.(pictured)

“Since the introduction of the Color 800/1000 Press in August its reputation has quickly spread around the industry as a leader in digital print technology, enabling users to expand their market reach with new business opportunities and enhance their print quality at the same time. We’re delighted that Australian printers have embraced the Color 800/1000 Press so quickly.”

The first Color 1000 Press in Australia was installed prior at Dashing Print, a pioneering digital print company servicing the corporate and advertising markets in the North Sydney business district and the Sydney CBD.

The company is now installing its second Color 1000 Press.

According to Russell Kavnat it is part of the drive to to stay at the cutting edge of technology. “After we installed the first Color 1000 Press, it performed even better than our expectations, which were very high. It was obvious that we needed to order a second Color 1000 Press.”

The Color 800/1000 Press can produce a “spot” or “flood” clear coat inline using Fuji Xerox’s Clear Dry Ink, which enables digital printers to highlight images or text, enhance logos and variable images, apply digital watermarks and simulate pearlescent and metallic effects.

Melbourne offset printer, Print Bound, took its first step into digital print by investing in a Color 1000 Digital Press in August, with a view to enhancing the company’s reputation for “clean, green” print.

Managing director of Print Bound, Mauro Mattarucco, said, “We didn’t want our clients going to other suppliers who had digital print capabilities. We wanted to grow our print offerings to the market, and not just be an offset printer. We’re expanding as a company to cater for a number of markets, including design and web, and now digital print. We are able to offer very high print quality, and we can pursue other digital print options such as variable data, and ensure that our service is second to none in turnaround times.”
