Xerox Builds on the Power of Color: New Value-Added Office Products and Tools Make Printing Easier

NORWALK, Conn.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Xerox Corporation’s (NYSE: XRX) latest collection of office products and tools take multitasking to a new level – allowing customers to get more work done faster and easier than ever before. The new products range from a high-volume color multifunction printer (MFP) to a professional-quality color printer for the office – and tools that deliver vibrant, accurate color prints.

“We’ve been hard at work bringing our advanced MFP and printer technologies to our entire product line, delivering increased productivity to workgroups of all sizes”

Tailored to meet various business requirements, the new products range from the Xerox Phaser^® 7500 color printer – printing up to 35 color pages per minute (ppm), to the Xerox WorkCentre^® 6400 color MFP that prints, copies, scans and faxes. The Xerox WorkCentre^® 7400 color MFP series offers additional features such as advanced paper handling and finishing capabilities for booklet making and hole-punching.

The products build on a heritage in color printing that has consistently earned top marks from customers. For the second straight year, Xerox products were rated “best” overall when compared to competitors such as Canon, Hewlett-Packard and Ricoh in the 2008 Industry Analysts Inc.’s annual Color End-User Survey.

“Color by Words,” a breakthrough innovation feature of the Phaser 7500, is a color-matching technology that answers the customers’ need for color accuracy. Users can select from a unique menu of words, such as “red apple,” “blue sky” or “green grass,” to fine tune the colors they want. With Color by Words, everyone from a graphic designer to the part-time PowerPoint warrior can get the right color and vibrant prints the first time.

“We’ve been hard at work bringing our advanced MFP and printer technologies to our entire product line, delivering increased productivity to workgroups of all sizes,” said Rick Dastin, president, Global Products Delivery Group, Xerox Corporation. “These new desktop products now have the same security features and workflow ease of use as our console machines.”
