Copy Services’ “Green” machine will save you money
Copy Services has just installed a Xerox 700 color printer that and we are excited to share the news. With the new printer, we are able to offer a 25 percent savings to the University community.
The Copy Services staff felt there were some important criteria the machine had to meet: it had to be capable of handling a range of paper stocks, including 100 pounds gloss cover. Registration (or alignment) of the image from sheet to sheet and from front to back on two-sided copies had to be excellent. We wanted tight registration, and this machine has plus or minus one millimeter, which is critical on postcards, flyers, catalogues, etc.
Thanks to the Xerox 700, we are now producing short-run color work that was previously sent off campus. The 700 is adding a cost-effective alternative for low quantity, full-color jobs.
Our goal is to grow the digital print production by expanding project opportunities and reducing costs. We wanted the flexibility to produce a wide variety of printed products on both coated and uncoated paper.
We can print or copy in full color at speeds up to 70 ppm (pages per minute). This machine provides exceptional image quality with the highest resolution available – 2400 x 2400 dpi (dots per inch) – producing smooth color sweeps; sharp, high-resolution photographs; crisp, clean text; outstanding gradients; and fine detail.
The Xerox 700 prints on coated and uncoated paper with a maximum sheet size of 12″ x 18″. The Xerox 700 Digital Color Press uses a proprietary low-melt EA Toner that prints full color at fast speeds with matte finish image quality. EA Toner is Xerox’s patented chemically-grown toner; its miniscule particles help ensure high-quality halftones, smooth transitions, and rich shadow detail. This environmentally-friendly, low-melt EA Toner requires less energy to manufacture and print, minimizing the impact on the environment.
Copy Services offers many other products and services, such as: black and white copies, transparencies, lamination, folding, scoring, wire-binding, comb-binding (booklets with plastic combs), and cutting, three-hole punch, stapling, and more.
Our vision is to provide USI’s students, faculty, and staff the capabilities to create, copy, and manage their documents in a professional manner. We will meet this goal by providing reliable, high-speed equipment, unwavering customer service, and convenient location and hours. We will operate the business in a manner that is fiscally responsible and provides a benefit to USI.
