Unveiled at Printing United Expo in September and available for order now, with installations starting this month, the Xerox PrimeLink C9265/C9275/C9281 printers are a new device family with a new toner formulation similar to that used with Xerox’s Iridesse production press.
The series also features a completely redesigned LED system featuring 10-bit processing and 2,400x2,400dpi imaging delivering “fine detail, smooth colour transitions, and exceptional colour accuracy”, according to the manufacturer. Speeds range from 65 to 81ppm depending on the model.
Custom media catalogues allow for optimal settings for a wide range of sizes from A6 to SRA3 and weights from 52-400gsm, including envelopes, embossed, linen and textured papers, banners up to 1.3m, synthetics, and labels.
Combined with “production-class feeding and finishing features”, Xerox said the new series offers versatility and sustainability, reducing material waste through advanced automation.
Kevin O’Donnell, production marketing manager UK, Ireland and the Nordics at Xerox, said: “Our customers are looking for quality, versatility and affordability in light production printing. These new Xerox presses punch above their weight in features and capabilities.”
He added the new printers have been designed to help users cope with a changing market and maximise their return on investment.
“In today's competitive environment, businesses need comprehensive and sustainable printing solutions, and our new models meet this need.”
O’Donnell told Printweek the machines sit in the entry-level production space, sitting between the current PrimeLink and the Versant 280, “with a little overlap”.
The PrimeLink C9200 series supports the latest Fiery FS600 platform and LLC print servers and integrates into Xerox’s end-to-end production printing ecosystem, which includes tools for sustainability and waste reduction.
The printers also feature a 10-inch touchscreen that Xerox said simplifies printing, scanning, and copying, and offers direct access to the Xerox ConnectKey platform’s cloud and productivity apps.
By integrating cloud apps and services, ConnectKey is said to offer an intuitive user experience, mobile and cloud connectivity, total security, and instant access to value-added services.
