Printer specialist Xerox announced the release of two solid-ink colour printers, the colorQube 8570 and colorQube 8870. The colorQube 8570 starts at $699 and is designed for small businesses that need to make an impact with high-quality colour. Priced at $2,499, the colorQube 8870 offers pricing plans that reduce colour page costs. Customers who print high volumes pay only for the amount of colour they use on a given page.
The green benefits claimed by Xerox for the printers include Earth Smart print driver defaults for two-sided printing, proof print, recycled paper and draft mode. It also has an Intelligent Ready feature that learns usage patterns and moves to low-power mode when the printer is least likely to be in use plus GreenPrint software that automatically highlights unnecessary pages such as those with only banner ads or logos, prior to printing.
A solid ink printer or multifunction printer uses solid sticks (or blocks) of no-mess, non-toxic ink instead of toner or inkjet cartridges. These feature colour by Words, a colour-editing tool, Adobe Postscript3 and PANTONE colour-approved simulations and advanced colour matching capabilities and 2400 FinePoint image quality.
Earlier this month, the company introduced the WorkCentre 7545 and WorkCentre 7556 colour multifunction printers (MFPs), starting at $19,398. The MFPs come equipped with advanced security features including hard disk encryption, image overwrite to electronically “shred” data, fax isolation to prevent unauthorised access to data and network authentication to restrict access to scan, email and fax features.
Four green benefits of the WorkCentre 7545 and WorkCentre 7556 include Earth Smart print driver defaults that can be set to include two-sided printing, sample print, no banners and two-up printing. Xerox’s Emulsion Aggregate Ultra Low-Melt toner and induction heat fusing reduce equipment energy use and an LED scanner consumes a third less power than traditional scanners.
The printers also offer a host of productivity features, including walk-up print and scan USB port located on the front of the MFPs, scan to network, mailbox or PC to automatically route documents to a predefined file for fast retrieval text-searchable files to find and search scanned documents and the company’s Extensible Interface Platform (EIP) technology to design customised workflow applications.
