Fuji Xerox outshines the competition with new DocuColor 8000AP Digital Press

Thursday 17. January 2008 - Digital printing delivers quick production workflow and sharp image quality on demand

Fuji Xerox Australia today announced availability of the DocuColor 8000AP Digital Press, offering the fastest speed in its class at a full rated 80 pages per minute across all paper stocks and flexible dual operation modes for a wide range of jobs.

Built on the market-proven technology of the DocuColor 8000 platform, the DocuColor 8000AP Digital Press meets high-volume printing requirements with unparalleled image quality, superior productivity, demonstrated reliability and exceptional support from Fuji Xerox.

“The DocuColor 8000AP is specially designed to meet the diverse production needs of print providers in commercial and in-plant environments,” said Henryk Kraszewski, Production Colour Marketing Manager for Fuji Xerox Australia.

“For instance, customers can choose an ‘All Weight’ or ‘Single Weight’ mode to control the look and feel of output. The ‘All Weight’ mode sets the press to run at 80 ppm regardless of stock weight or type with the added benefit of a more ‘matte’ appearance, whilst ‘Single Weight’ mode varies the print speed based on the paper weight, with a glossier output.”

The digital colour press can handle a wide range of media up to 300 gsm, including coated and uncoated papers, transparencies and even synthetic materials to create high-value, customised applications such as glossy books and magazines, promotional materials and direct mail, speciality items including magnets and decals, and durable documents that resist tearing even when wet.

The DocuColor 8000AP features 2400x2400x1 dpi print resolution for excellent sharpness and uniformity – resulting in crisp, sharp text and digital screening technology that improves color consistency. Like the DocuColor 8000, the digital press offers tight front-to-back registration of +/- 0.5mm, which nicely complements output from offset presses.

A standard two-tray feeder with a paper capacity of 4,000 sheets allows long, single-stock jobs to run without interruption, whilst a Secondary Feeder Module is available with multiple pick points that hold up to 2,000 sheets per drawer – extending the paper capacity to 8,000 sheets and increasing flexibility for running mixed-stock jobs. A comprehensive array of production-level devices and in-line finishing options is also available.

“We’re committed to making our leading digital colour presses even better and that’s exactly what we’ve done with the DocuColor 8000AP,” said Henryk.

“No matter what your digital colour print needs, only Fuji Xerox has the broadest range of solutions, support and business development resources to help customers grow their business.”
