Fuji Xerox speeds up Color 1000 Presses with field upgrade
30 Mar 2012 | Nick Bendel
Fuji Xerox Australia customers have cut hours from turnaround times after receiving Asia-Pacific-only upgrades to their Color 800 and 1000 presses.
Henryk Kraszewski, production colour marketing manager at FXA, told ProPrint that about 20 printers had seen the benefits of the upgrades, which increase automation.
The enhancements cover press calibration, finishing, binding and booklet-making. Another upgrade is Low Gloss Dry Ink, which offers a flatter and more uniform output on uncoated or silk-coated stocks.
Kraszewski said the Australian business had pushed hard to receive Low Gloss Dry Ink, which is only available in Asia Pacific.
"We knew Japan was working on it and we saw the results and thought that really suited our customers in Australia," he said.
The local clients that have received the enhancements have reported "significant declines in turnaround time and improved efficiency", according to Kraszewski.
"Printers are dealing with increasing numbers of more complex jobs such as bound books, booklets and magazines, which often have to be produced extremely rapidly while still maintaining perfect quality," he said.
"The Color 800/1000 Presses have been enhanced specifically to address this growth in demand, with new binding and finishing options offering commercial printers greater flexibility, control and response speed for these jobs."
