Part of the global Allianz Group, Allianz Cornhill will be running the two Highlight Colour systems alongside its existing Xerox Docuprint 4635 laser printing system at a dedicated print centre in Guildford that handles all printing for five of the firm's business divisions.
The Xerox 155 Highlight Colour system, launched in the UK in February, is designed for print-on-demand and publishing applications.
The system is one of a range of three Highlight Colour systems from Xerox running at claimed speeds of 128 pages per minute (ppm), 155ppm and 180ppm, which Xerox claimed is up to three times faster than competitor's models and delivering full rated print speed.

Xerox Corporation has revealed details of its Drupa 2004 presence in May.
The system creates two images in sequence - first the black image, then the colour image - in a single pass.
Highlight Colour is built on the technology of the Xerox Docutech platform for mono printing and incorporates technology from the Xerox iGen3 digital press for highlight colour imaging.
Anoush Dowlatshahi-Gordon, the director and general manager for the production systems group at Xerox UK, said: "The new Highlight Colour machines have given Allianz Cornhill improved toner adhesion and better security of documents, which is particularly important in the insurance industry.
Also, due to the speed of the machines, Cornhill can now achieve a faster turn-around of documents, such as insurance quotes and claims, which means they can print more without increasing the length of the working day.
That will enable Cornhill to achieve greater efficiency and, ultimately, profitability." Ian Cherry, print and production services manager of Allianz Cornhill, said: "We have worked with Xerox for a long time and last year we posed the company the challenge of increasing our print capacity without increasing our costs.
Xerox's Highlight Colour system, based on its advanced throughput capacity and the added spot colour capability was the answer.
Xerox has also given us the option of upgrading to an even faster Highlight Colour Xerox 180 machine if needed, so is not only able to support our business as it is today but also as it continues to grow in the future." Allianz Cornhill, which last year printed more than 45 million pages, will be running the two Highlight Colour systems at half their rated capacity, which will allow extra work to be taken on if needed.
Together with the Xerox Docuprint 4635, Allianz Cornhill will use the machines to produce a variety of material including full insurance quotes and renewals, direct debit letters, claims letters and documents for insurance brokers.
