Melbourne printer calls on Fuji Xerox Color 1000 press

29 November 2010

Installation of Fuji Xerox Color 1000 press provides Documents on Call with capacity to keep up with growing print demand.

The Melbourne-based printer had reached full production capacity utilising its Xerox DocuColor 8000 and 8002 digital presses and was ready to invest further. According to managing director, Kevin Mack, a significant factor in the decision was the Color 1000 press’s ability    to produce spot and flood clear coatings inline using Fuji Xerox’s Clear Dry Ink.

 “We heard on the grapevine about the Fuji Xerox Color 1000 Press, and really, it was a foregone conclusion that we’d want one. The clincher, though, was speaking to a Xerox Corporation engineer at IPEX 2010, when he explained what engineering and technology had been included in the Color 1000 Press to be the best in market, superior in quality,” Mack said.

“In this game, it’s all about differentiation. I’d seen an attempt at spot clear coating by another vendor in the past … but as soon as I saw the Fuji Xerox Color 1000 press’s clear coating I knew that it was what we needed to differentiate ourselves from competitors.”

Mack is pleased by the results the Clear Dry Ink has brought to the work produced by Documents on Call, along with the textured stocks “As soon as you can print on textured stocks you eliminate a lot of competitors simply because few can do it,” he said. “The Color 1000 press gives us that capability.”

Joining them on the journey was Fuji Xerox colour specialist, Anthony Jackson. The installation took only a few days, with the company losing ten minutes when they replaced the 8002 and installed the 1000 press.

“We could see that the Color 1000 press would help the business grow to the next level and also give it a real difference from other printers in Melbourne,” Jackson said. “Kevin was very receptive to the abilities of the Color 1000 and could see its potential immediately.”
