New Xerox Black-and-White System
Offers Best Image Quality and Fastest Scanner among ‘Light Production’ Printers;‘The 4110 is solid as a rock’

MIAMI—Xerox Corporation  Has announced
the Xerox 4110 Digital Copier/Printer, a 110 page-per-minute black-and-white
system that lets customers produce jobs as diverse as maps, booklets and direct-mail pieces with industry-leading image quality and
the fastest scanner in the light production market. The light production segment
includes systems that average print volumes of 80,000 to 350,000 pages a
month.

“The
4110 is solid as a rock,” said Alex Vidal, senior vice president, Superior
Group, a full-service document management company in Washington, D.C., that
tested the Xerox 4110. “Since it was installed, we have really put it through
its paces — printing, copying and scanning. The Xerox 4110 has already reduced
our labor costs and the time it takes for us to complete a job.”

“Higher
copy and print resolution, a more productive scanner, larger total paper
capacity, and a greater range of supported paper weights are all factors that
separate the 4110 from existing offerings,” said Jim Hamilton, director, On
Demand Printing and Publishing Consulting Service, InfoTrends/CAP Ventures.
“This product is well positioned to address the light production segment, which
is the fastest growing part of the black-and-white copying market with a 9.2
percent compound annual growth rate.”

Designed for small-to-medium-sized print
shops and large offices, the 4110 digital copier/printer offers customers
features such as:

—

Dual-head scanning. The Xerox 4110 is the industry’s first light production
device to feature dual-head scanning technology, which means it can
simultaneously scan both the front and back of a document at 100 impressions per
minute at 600 x 600 dots per inch. Competitive devices slow down when scanning
double-sided pages. In addition, it offers maximum productivity because people
can scan documents and program future jobs while the machine is printing.

— Image
quality. The new system sets an image-quality benchmark for this class of
printer, printing at 2400 x 2400 dots per inch. The copier/printer uses Xerox
patented EA (emulsion aggregation) toner — a super-smooth form of “dry ink”
with uniform particles — to deliver consistent image quality and high
reliability throughout long print runs. Toner can be replenished while the
system is running, boosting productivity.

— Paper
handling. Able to handle heavier and larger paper sizes — up to 13″ x 19.2″ and
140 pound index — and with extensive in-line finishing capabilities, the Xerox
4110 quickly and easily produces a wide range of jobs including reports, maps,
brochures, engineering documents, saddle-stitched booklets, and C- or Z-fold
booklets and mailers. It has a maximum 8,225-sheet paper capacity and up to
eight paper trays. Its standard configuration features 100-sheet stapling, a
two-and three-hole punch, and a post-process inserter that can insert
pre-printed black-and-white or color pages into a document. An optional booklet
maker finisher is also available.

“The
Xerox 4110 trumps competitive products. It gives customers the features they
need to produce jobs easier, quicker and with a consistent high image quality
that you would expect from more expensive, high-speed, higher-volume digital
devices,” said Quincy Allen, president, Xerox Production Systems Group.

The Xerox
4110 joins the Xerox 2101 Digital Copier/Printer as part of Xerox’s light
production offerings. In the black-and-white market, the 2101 has been widely
accepted within offices, quick print shops, in-plants and central reprographic
departments, and the Xerox 4110 is designed to deliver even more functionality
for those environments — increased scanning productivity, more flexible
substrate handling, enhanced finishing capabilities and improved image quality.

The Xerox
4110 will be on display in Xerox booth 213 at Graphics of the Americas, an
international graphic communications show in Miami, today through Feb. 6. Order
taking and installations for the Xerox 4110 Digital Copier/Printer will begin
March 1 in North America, Europe and Latin America.

The U.S.
manufacturer’s list price with a basic finisher is $56,550 for the copier and
$63,050 for the copier/printer. The list price with the booklet making finisher
is $61,800 for the 4110 copier and $68,300 for the 4110 copier/printer. Options
include the folding unit for $5,700 and the high-capacity paper feeder for
$2,700
