Evaluating Colour Laser Printer-Copiers
EVALUATE IMAGE QUALITY
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.
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.
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?
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 Kit
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.
