Digital Perfecting System 15% Faster Than Others

Fuji Xerox Australia has launched the Nuvera 288 digital perfecting system, a dual-print engine design that is claimed to set a new speed record for duplex monochrome cut-sheet printing systems.

Fuji Xerox Australia has launched the Nuvera 288 digital perfecting system, a dual-print engine design that is claimed to set a new speed record for duplex monochrome cut-sheet printing systems.

At a claimed 288 impressions per minute - 144 two-sided pages - the new twin-engine technology makes the Xerox Nuvera 288 digital perfecting system run at least 15 per cent faster than any other systems on the market, said the company.

With enhanced image quality comparable to offset printing standards and application flexibility, Fuji Xerox said that the digital duplex production system can produce books and brochures at a resolution of 4,800 dots per inch (dpi) x 600dpi, which is said to be the highest of any monochrome digital production system on the market.

Chris Aked, marketing manager of Fuji Xerox Australia's monochrome production solutions, commented: "We are dedicating resources to the development of new technologies and to enhancing our existing products to provide even greater advantages to Fuji Xerox customers.

Not only is the Nuvera 288 faster than any other cut sheet product on the market, the print quality has dramatically improved due to our new Emulsion Aggregate (EA) toner technology and fusing." Another Xerox development, Pass Through Programming, keeps the system running even if one of the engines needs service, providing maximum productivity and uptime for commercial print operations and in-house print facilities, said the company.

The Nuvera 288 is based on technology developed by researchers in Xerox laboratories in New York (USA), as well as the Palo Alto Research Centre and is supported by more than 50 filed patents.

The finishing modules added to the Xerox Nuvera 144 are also available on the new Xerox Nuvera digital system, making it possible for print providers to automatically staple and stack large quantities of printed documents including booklets, technical manuals and promotional material, added Fuji Xerox.

The Xerox Nuvera 288 digital perfecting system is said to offer support for media such as uncoated and coated stock, carbonless, covers, oversized stocks and pre-printed inserts, allowing Fuji Xerox customers to explore new markets and applications, such as books, manuals, direct mail and transactional documents.

A sheet enhancer module detects humidity and moisture in the media type and will automatically adjust the curl on the paper during production to ensure a completely flat sheet,which is a benefit for post-processing requirements, said Fuji Xerox.

Aked said: "Its productivity, print quality and supported media make the Nuvera 288 an excellent offset replacement.

This is just the beginning of a year of a range of innovative new Fuji Xerox technology and initiatives." The Xerox Nuvera 288 digital production system will be available in Australia later this year.
