Fuji Xerox expands leading digital production colour portfolio with DocuColor 8000 Digital Press
Fuji Xerox Australia (FXA) has strengthened its industry-leading digital colour printing range with the DocuColor 8000 Digital Press, an 80 page-per-minute model that offers a new level of performance and versatility between the 60 ppm DocuColor 6060 Digital Press and the 100 ppm Xerox iGen3 Digital Production Press.
The DocuColor 8000 is the latest addition to the Xerox line of digital production presses, providing expanded choices in speed, reliability, and image quality.
The DocuColor 8000 builds on the success of the 45 ppm to 60 ppm DocuColor series. Globally, Xerox has sold more than 12,000 of these presses since their initial introduction in 2000. The new press offers a “next step up” option for print providers who are looking for a high-end production press but don't currently have the applications and volume requirements for the 100ppm Xerox iGen3.
“With a growing demand for colour, the DocuColor 8000 offers another option for print providers who are looking to expand into the high-growth digital colour printing business,” said Chad Pearce, Production Colour Marketing Manager, Fuji Xerox Australia Production Systems Business Group (pictured). “The press creates an excellent opportunity for printers to increase their revenue and provide more value to their clients.”
In initial customer testing, the DocuColor 8000 met the demands of the most discriminating printers. It features 2400 x 2400 x 1 dpi resolution for excellent sharpness and uniformity, technology that improves colour consistency, and new registration technology that controls front-to-back registration to plus or minus 0.5 mm - the width of five human hairs.
Flexibility is also a key advantage of the DocuColor 8000. The press is second only to the Xerox iGen3 press when handling mixed media, enabling it to support a wide range of applications and environments, such as print-on-demand, Web-to-print, book publishing and variable information marketing.
In addition, the DocuColor 8000 allows custom paper set-ups so print providers can program and store unique characteristics to a particular tray, retrieving the attributes later to save time and support an efficient workflow. For example, if a printer regularly runs a certain job, he can program the printer to pull the associated paper type and size from the correct tray, ensuring accurate output with limited preparation time. The DocuColor 8000 also prints from 7.2'' x 7.2'' to 12.6'' x 19.2'' - a stock range wider than competitive machines.
The DocuColor 8000 offers a choice of three powerful colour servers:
Xerox DSP8000 Colour Server, part of the Xerox FreeFlow Digital Workflow Collection, is the Xerox common controller. This model is targeted to support in-plant and data centre customers that currently have a DocuSP workflow and require the benefits of a similar workflow with minimal training requirements.
There are also Creo and EFI colour servers for the DocuColor 8000. The Creo CXP8000 Colour Server is ideal for commercial printing environments and is a powerful solution for variable printing. The EFI EXP8000 Color Server provides an easy-to-use interface for the quick and franchise print market and in-plant operations.
