Xerox Extends Black-and-White Print Dominance with Productivity, Finishing Enhancements

Xerox Nuvera 288 Production Printing System with finishing enhancements

ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 11, 2010 – Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) continues to strengthen its position as the worldwide leader in digital black-and-white production printing, today unveiling a host of productivity and finishing enhancements for its award-winning Nuvera^® portfolio.

“Xerox leads the worldwide high-end black-and-white market with more than 75 percent of all production class cut-sheet shipments," said Angele Boyd, IDC group vice president, imaging/output document solutions. “The company is well positioned to maintain or extend its leadership position by constantly upgrading its Nuvera family of devices.”

Xerox's Nuvera portfolio, spanning from 100 to 288 images per minute, delivers high-quality prints and increases productivity. The 10 new productivity improvements and finishing options are designed to streamline production and expand the scope of black-and-white printing jobs. By boosting the range of professionally finished applications that can be created – such as manuals, brochures, booklets and calendars – print providers can take on a wider range of jobs and move them quickly through the shop.

Among the new offerings are:

Plockmatic Pro 30 Booklet Maker – provides an affordable 30-sheet booklet maker configured to produce professional-quality booklets at rated speed, including the option to add color covers and inserts.
Dual Xerox Tape Binder – allows the print engine to utilize both finishers within the same job; users can alternate the delivery of print sets and unload while the job runs.
C.P. Bourg High Capacity Elevator – assists users to easily offload finished material by raising the stack of paper to a constant level, enhancing productivity through ergonomics.

Additional features make it easier to tape bind, stack, stitch, fold, trim, cut and complete professionally finished documents.

Many of the new enhancements will be on display in the Xerox stand at IPEX 2010, Hall 7, May 18-25 in Birmingham, U.K.

Availability and pricing

The enhancements are compatible with select Xerox Nuvera models currently installed in graphic communications and in-plant environments. Contact a Xerox sales representative for additional information about upgrades.

The new offerings are available for order taking and installation starting on July 1. Availability and pricing may vary by geography.
