New digital press boasts production capabilities at lower price

700 Digital Color Press opens door to affordable digital printing and profitable colour print applications.

The new 700 Digital Color Press offers robust production features such as coated paper handling, heavyweight media support, and feeding and finishing options at an entry-level price.

"The 700 Digital Color Press brings productivity, excellent print quality and flexibility to print providers looking to adopt digital technology or expand their digital printing businesses," says Henryk Kraszewski, production colour marketing manager, Fuji Xerox Australia.

The 700 Digital Color Press prints at up to 70 pages per minute in colour or black and white, and provides an affordable way to start or expand a digital printing business, especially for in-plant operations, quick printers, commercial printers, creative agencies, photo specialty retailers and departmental environments. The system has the image quality and productivity of a high-end production press and is ideal for photo books, brochures, direct-mail pieces, catalogues, calendars and postcards.

"The 700 Digital Color Press extends what is already the industry's broadest portfolio of digital Colour systems and fits a growing segment of the market," says Kraszewski. "Print providers are demanding products that produce lucrative full-colour applications. The 700 Digital Color Press delivers feature rich functionality at an affordable price."

The 700 Digital Color Press uses a proprietary low-melt EA Toner that prints full colour at high speed with matte finish image quality. EA Toner is Xerox's patented chemically-grown toner; its miniscule particles help ensure high-quality halftones, smooth transitions and rich shadow detail. This environmentally-friendly, low-melt EA Toner requires less energy to manufacture and print, minimising the impact on the environment.

"The new toner, imaging technology and media handling capabilities, coupled with the ability to load toner while the system is running, deliver image quality and greater productivity than other models in its class," adds Kraszewski.

The press prints on coated and uncoated paper with a maximum sheet size of 330mm x 488mm and a wide media latitude between 64 gsm and 300 gsm. It offers automatic two-sided printing up to 220 gsm on both coated and uncoated stocks. The device boasts image quality at a class-leading 2400 x 2400 x 1 dots per inch and tight front-to-back registration of +/- 1.0mm.

700 Digital Colour Press users have access to Fuji Xerox's ProfitAccelerator(tm) Digital Business Resources portfolio, which is a collection of more than 75 tools and programs designed to help print providers develop and grow their digital businesses.

"The 700 Digital Color Press exemplifies Fuji Xerox's emphasis on innovation, sustainability and a commitment to delivering the right technology, workflow, and business model to customers right now and in the future," says Kraszewski.
