Lectures as an encore
The main focus was on the products presented by Xerox,
Workflow solutions and services. The following were the topics of discussion

black-and-white printers have no future: "The world is colorful, why should
we depict them in a reduced form?" Yuji indirectly confirmed this statement
Akiyoshi from Fuji Xerox on the occasion of an on-site
press conference. Akiyoshi explained that the developments in the
monochrome systems were scaled back and Fuji Xerox
increasingly concentrating on color printing.

informed Dominique Lüscher, National Product Marketing Manager

DocuColor 7000 for entry into the production sector
Under the name DocuColor 7000, Xerox launched at the end of August a

print speeds of up to 70 pages/minute, is suitable for
for customers who are looking to enter the market for digital
planning color printing systems or want to increase their print volumes. The

expandable high-performance color printer works with a resolution of
2400 x 2400 dpi (data depth 1 bit) and thus addresses the
quality requirements of demanding print professionals. The following are processed
a wide range of different formats (from B5 to SRA3) and types of
substrates (60 to 300 g/m2). The overall system is therefore suitable for
ideally suited for print-on-demand solutions (printing of demand-dependent
print runs), web-to-print applications (browser-controlled output), for
book production (integrated production of
booklets/pocket books) and for personalized marketing documents.
"With the new model, the DocuColor 7000, we are complementing our
portfolio in the Production segment," explains Claudia Stäbler, Business
