Technology and Paper
Choosing the right paper calls for a strong knowledge of paper
characteristics and how they relate to different print technologies.
Whether making color copies, printing from a digital office or
production printer, or a workgroup laser printer, you’ll need to
consider the variables associated with different equipment and how
they influence paper buying decisions.
Digital production printing
This type of printing is often the choice for production printing of
forms, manuals, training materials and other business documents.
Digital production printers, such as the Xerox DocuColor 40, enable
color and/or black and white on-demand publishing, eliminating the
need for large inventories of pre-printed documents. Digital printing
is best for quantities of less than 1000.
Office laser printing
With easy access to sophisticated desktop publishing applications,
full-color scanning, and high-speed color technology, office laser
printing is becoming the output device of choice for many business
documents. This is especially true for documents that need to be
customized, changed and updated to reflect rapidly changing
business. The quantities typically recommended for laser printing
are 1-50.
Office digital copying and printing
People want the freedom and flexibility to create high quality color
documents in smaller quantities – in multiple variations – with a wide
degree of depth and dimension. They want their presentations,
reports, and business documents in general, to look sharp and
bright.
