SECTION 2

Evaluating Colour Laser Printer-Copiers

For colour professionals, there’s nothing more vital than a device that can produce speedy,

precise colour printouts. As the inventor of laser printing and printer-copier devices, Xerox knows

how to deliver. We’ve invested years of research and development in designing devices that

offer fast, accurate and affordable colour.

Based on our in-depth understanding of customer needs in colour critical environments,

Xerox recommends you consider the following criteria in the evaluation process of a

colour printer-copier product:

Performance and Print Speed

Can it keep up with the demands of multiple jobs and client deadlines?

Image Quality

Does it produce colour and clarity

that exceed the expectations of

colour professionals?

Scalability

Are you able to add on functionality

as your business grows and changes?

DOCUCOLOR 240 / 250 EVALUATOR GUIDE

Consider colour print speed

Colour is where it counts. It has to be as fast as it is precise. So, it’s very important to consider colour

print speed. This ensures the fast turnarounds you need for tight deadlines. Also consider the first-page-out

time — key for proofing or quantity-of-one environments.

Think about processor speed

Consider the time it takes from clicking “print” to the final delivery of the colour document to the

output tray. The device has to be able to process large photographic images with ease. Test documents

with complex images to see how fast they’re processed and printed.

Measure overall performance

Send a mix of colour and black and white documents of varying types and lengths to the printer. See how

the printer performs. It should be a relatively fast and seamless process. And you’ll really be able to see the

overall performance including: network transmission time, first-page-out time and multi-copy engine speed.

4DOCUCOLOR 240 / 250 EVALUATOR GUIDE

EVALUATE PERFORMANCE AND PRINT SPEED

Ever think your printer could print as fast in colour as it does in black and white? The DocuColor 250 is not

that far off. It prints in colour up to an incredibly fast 50 ppm. That’s really close to its black and white print

speed, which is up to 65 ppm. The DocuColor 240 offers fast print speeds as well, with 40 ppm in color and

55 ppm in black and white. You’ll also enjoy a first-page-out time as fast as 7.8 seconds.

The DocuColor 240 / 250 comes with a robust 2.8 GHz Intel®Celeron®processor and EFI®bustled controller. This

ensures fast processing and printing of multiple full-color images. 512MB of memory is dedicating to printing.

This can be upgraded to a full 1 GB of memory, giving the device plenty of processing power.

No matter how big or complex the mix of print jobs, the DocuColor 240 / 250 can handle it. With fast print

speeds and first-page-out times, a fast network connection and speedy image processing, this device

makes work, work for you. Plus, it has five standard trays and a 250-sheet DADF, so you can get the big

jobs done without having to reload paper.

Evaluating Colour Laser Printer-Copiers

DOCUCOLOR 240 / 250 EVALUATOR GUIDE

Think about consumables

Never let consumables slow you down. For example, toner. No one wants to run out of it in the middle

of a job. That’s why you should consider a printer that lets you change toner while you’re printing.

This keeps your productivity at its highest. No more missed deadlines.

Toner capacity is important too. With a fast printer-copier, you do not want to continually have to

replace empty toner cartridges.

EVALUATE PERFORMANCE AND PRINT SPEED, cont.

The DocuColor 240 / 250 printer-copier was designed so that you can load toner while the machine is still

copying or printing. You don’t need to wait for the machine to stop and declare a “toner low” message. With

two black toner cartridges, your jobs keep running with only the occasional request for toner.

Plus, all Xerox consumables, or SMart KitTM replaceable units, are easy to load. Anyone can do it with no

problem whatsoever.

Evaluating Colour Laser Printer-Copiers

Look for precision resolution

Do images look sharp and crisp? Are they absolutely clear with defined edges? Your printout should

meet the expectations of professional colour experts. Make sure you examine a print sample to ensure

it meets the highest quality standards.

Ensure faithful colour reproduction

Look for uniformity and consistency in large areas of solid fill. Check for smooth transitions where edges meet.

Check that the image quality and color remain consistent page after page, particularly after 100 or 200 prints of

the same image. Does the printer perform periodic automatic calibration to maintain print-to-print consistency?

EVALUATE IMAGE QUALITY

With 2400 x 2400 dpi for both copy and print you can be sure you’re getting incredible resolution for out-

standing output. It’s excellent for printing photographs and fine lines. And when you really want images to stand

out, you can choose the Enhanced Gloss Mode for great results.

Xerox is the leading innovator in toner and photoreceptor technology. From its pioneering work with carbon-based toner in

the 1950s – creating the copier marketplace – to the latest breakthrough, Emulsion Aggregate (EA) toner, Xerox

continues to pave the way.

The DocuColor 240 / 250 utilises EA toner, which is chemically grown, rather than ground,

resulting in very small, consistent particles. This brings you fine colour detail and

smooth transitions. Plus the toner cartridges (also called SMart KitTM replaceable units)

have developer material, or carrier, included. This allows the constant addition of fresh

developer material for consistent colour quality – copy after copy, print after print.

Automatic density control also assures consistent colour from the first print to the one-hundredth and the

one-thousandth.

You can even set colour calibration for different types of media. For example, you might

want to bring out true skin tones on a media that has a bright white finish. With this

feature you can get realistic colours on almost any type of media.

Evaluating Colour Laser Printer-Copiers

Check for colour matching capabilities

In colour critical environments, it’s vital that the colour you expect is the colour you get. Make sure

your device comes with advanced colour management and profiling options that enable you to emulate

different output devices and control colour output. This way you can be sure your printouts come out

just how you imagined, at every stage in the process.

Include a variety of elements in your test pages

Try colour graphics, photo images, adjacent primary colours, large areas of solid colour, colour blends

and gradients and text in various typefaces, sizes and colours.

EVALUATE IMAGE QUALITY, cont.

Xerox gives you advanced colour management tools and profiling options. You can create your own profiles that

allow you to proof your documents to other engines, such as a printing press, web pages, a copier or a digital

press. This way you can optimise the color output (e.g. saturated, cooler, warmer) at every step and eliminate

surprises in the production phase.

With the addition of the Splash RPX-i workflow software you can get the professional colour management

tools (e.g., ColorTuner, Colour Spot Editor and CMYK Colour Profiles) to manage the most demanding colour

matching job. The Splash legacy is one that benefits the colour printing professional. Splash work flow software

takes the colour image quality of the DocuColor 240/250 to new levels.

When your document includes mixed elements such as graphics, text and photos, Xerox automatically colour

corrects each graphic element on the page. This ensures you get the sharpest text, brightest colours and the

life-like images contained in your original file.

Use different kinds of media

With some colour printers, colour may change depending on the media you use. The quality may

lessen with different paper textures, like cover stock or transparencies. And in creative environments,

the last thing you want to do is reject an idea because you can’t execute it properly. So test out

different kinds of media to ensure consistently terrific colour output.

Check source file compatibility

Can the printer handle all the versions of PCL®or Adobe®PostScript®that the software might produce?

Some popular graphic applications depend on true PostScript compatibility for the best colour quality

and most accurate proofing capability.

EVALUATE IMAGE QUALITY, cont.

No matter what application you’re using, Xerox has you covered. The DocuColor 240 / 250 with the EFI bustled

controller offers true Adobe®Postscript®3TM and PCL®emulation, so everything you print turns out the way you

it expect it – wonderfully. The Splash RPX-i option also supports Adobe PostScript 3.

SECTION 2
