Printing at 600 dpi, and utilising non-contact flash fusing, the FX495 Digital Web Duplex Printer achieves extremely high print quality on a range of substrates that encompass plastic, RFID transponder, plastic cards, coated stock and labels as well as standard paper stocks used in transactional promotional print work.
It has a maximum print-speed of 460 (A4) pages per minute.
The strength of the Fuji Xerox 495 Digital Web Duplex Printer lies with the product’s flash fusing technology. Flash fusing is a departure from traditional heat based toner fusion method, which can cause paper shrinkage and diminishment of quality.
The Fuji Xerox flash fusing technology secures the image with high-intensity flash lamps and no warm-up time is required. As the toner is fixed without any paper contact, a wide variety of substrates can be printed without the paper surface curvatures and thickness affecting the output.
“We can finally wave goodbye to paper curl which can cause so many problems in post production environments,” says Chris Aked, production printing systems marketing manager, Production Services Business Group.
The use of a two drum imaging and development system in one device ensures the same high print speed is maintained when printing both sides of the paper while also providing superior registration. The compact design also reduces the size to approximately 50 per cent of normal duplex systems. Application flexibility and print productivity are enhanced further as the FX495 can print simplex or duplex print jobs from its single print engine configuration.
“The new digital web technology planned for release over the next 12 months will demonstrate Fuji Xerox’s continued commitment offering our customers the broadest range of innovative production solutions,” says Aked. “This new direction will enable our customers to drive incremental business growth, streamline their operational efficiencies and secure their place as forerunners in their market.”
This commitment is further demonstrated with a new addition to Fuji Xerox’s Production Services Business Group. Peter Evans has joined the group as national manager for Continuous Feed. Evans will play an important role in the development, execution and evolution of Fuji Xerox’s production services business strategies in digital web technology.
Before joining Fuji Xerox, Evans spent 12 years at Océ Australia as national manager and high volume sales specialist. Evans has an authoritative understanding of publishing, commercial and transactional print environments, and proven experience in high end continuous platforms.
Evans joins Aked and a team of technical experts who will support the continuous feed program for Fuji Xerox customers throughout the Asia Pacific region.
The FX495 Duplex Digital Web Printer, already a resounding success for organisations in Europe and Asia Pacific, is now available in Australia and is the first of an exciting new line up that will allow customers more flexibility than ever before, enhancing their business opportunities.
