Digital Printing
Digital printing offers the most flexibility in meeting short turnaround times. Running 100 copies a minute, the two Docutechs produce black and grayscale copies of a variety of materials. Its color equivalent, the Xerox DocuColor 2045 can produce 45 full color copies per minute. All three of these printers have the capacity to archive projects for “print on demand” as well imprint variable data such as individual mailing addresses right on the printed piece.
