Xerox Expands High-end Digital Printing Portfolio With Two Black-and-white Production Printers
DocuTech and DocuPrint 90 Designed to Meet Customer Demand for Higher Speeds in Print Shops, Data Centers
ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2001-- Extending its leadership in the monochrome production printing market, Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX - news) today announced two new cut-sheet digital printers for print shops, service bureaus and data centers that need quicker, easier ways to create on-demand and personalized documents.
The DocuTech 90 and DocuPrint 90, with print speeds up to 90 pages-per-minute and high-quality 600 dots-per-inch resolution (600 x 1200 dpi PostScript), are the fastest of the small, entry-level Xerox production printers. With print production environments continually calling for more powerful, higher speed equipment, the DocuTech 90 and DocuPrint 90 meet the needs of space-constrained print operations looking for affordable ways to capture additional pages from printing on-demand applications such as books, manuals and brochures.
The Xerox DocuPrint 90 gives data centers and service bureaus the power to print transaction applications that require merged variable data for mission-critical documents such as bills and invoices. Both products are being demonstrated this week at Xplor in Orlando, a trade show for document technology users.
``We're providing our customers with more options for on-demand printing by expanding what is already the industry's broadest line of monochrome production printers,'' said Tom Wetjen, vice president and general manager, Xerox Monochrome Business Unit. ``Powered by our renowned DocuTech/DocuPrint technology, these new products offer additional capabilities to small and mid-sized print operations.''
Features on both the DocuTech 90 and DocuPrint 90 include:
-- New finishing options. The DocuTech 90 is designed to include
Xerox's Signature Booklet Maker, a finishing option that produces
up to 11`` x 17'' brochures with duplex printing, folding, stapling
and trimming capabilities.
-- Increased paper handling. A new high-capacity feeder holds up to a
total of 5,100 sheets, in addition to four separate trays which
hold multiple sizes and types of paper, such as tabs, name cards,
even some types of plastic paper. These features save time and
increase productivity and flexibility.
-- Subset Offset. This feature is critical to transaction processing
and variable data customers. With selected applications, a
variable data run containing many records may be sent to the
printer as a single job with the intent to finish the documents
offline. By offset stacking each of the records, the operator can
easily separate the records and insert them into the required
finisher.
-- Proof Interrupt and Resume. This allows an operator to suspend
production, run a proof copy or a higher-priority job, then resume
normal printing without disrupting the original job.
The Xerox DocuPrint/DocuTech cut-sheet family now includes 14 digital printing products, ranging from 75 to180 pages per minute and served by the Xerox DocuSP common controller.
The DocuTech 90 and DocuPrint 90 are immediately available in North America through the Xerox sales force and in Europe in the first quarter 2002. The U.S. base list price for the DocuPrint/DocuTech 90 begins at $64,995.
