Xerox India, a part of Xerox Corporation showcased Xerox Versant 80 with External Fiery and Color Profiler Suite and Xerox Color C70 with Single OHCF and Embedded Fiery at the Photofest India 2016 that took place in Adlux International Convention Centre, Angamaly, Ernakulam, Kerala from 22 to 24 July 2016. 

Commenting at the event, Balaji Rajagopalan, executive director, technology, channels and international relations, Xerox India said, “Photo-printing is a key segment of growth for us. Given the ever increasing requirements for on-demand printing, photo-albums and other forms of personalized printing, we have witnessed a significant growth in this sector. The Xerox production devices we showcased at the event offer great color pantones, quality offset like finish and most importantly, quicker registration process. The Color C70 has exceptional energy saving capabilities, which gives the customer great savings over a long period of time. The Versant 80 is another great device, especially for the photoprinting segment. Its 10-bit image quality and ultra HD capabilities gives great finish and minute color details, which makes it a must buy for customers doing photo-printing.” 

Xerox India launched these products last year which found a great fit for the photo-printing segment. The Xerox Versant 80 provides production press capabilities with walk-up simplicity, offset-quality performance and automated features that remove the guesswork from optimizing image quality, color and registration. Printing at 80 pages per minute (ppm), the device delivers ultra HD, 10-bit image quality at 2,400 x 2,400 dpi and can handle a variety of media types with a compact Belt Fuser system and Xerox’s EA Low Melt Dry Ink. With this production press, one has multiple choices and easier color availability.

The Xerox Color C70 offers the widest range of applications in this market space, including running synthetics, vinyls, window clings, carbonless paper, never-tear paper, transfer papers, magnets and many other unique applications that are made possible with Xerox’s low melt toner and flexible paper path. Furthermore, the newly developed, heat-efficient IH fuser does not require preheating, which helps reduce power consumption in standby mode by 44% compared to a resistance heating device. Moreover, the power consumption of the scanner using LED lighting is 1/3rd of traditional scanners using fluorescent lamps. With these energy savings, the running electricity costs of the C70 is almost 1/4th to similar press configurations available in the market today.
