EFI, XEROX COLLABORATE TO DELIVER NEW PRINTER
FOR GRAPHIC ARTS PROFESSIONALS
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10, 2005 – At
Macworld San Francisco 2005, the world’s most comprehensive
Macintosh operating system event, EFI (Nasdaq: EFII) and Xerox
Corporation (NYSE: XRX) will be launching the Xerox Phaser® EX7750
color laser printer to deliver high-caliber color fidelity, image
quality and performance for graphic arts professionals who need to
quickly produce complex color documents such as brochures, mailers
and other documents.
The Phaser EX7750, demonstrated
at Xerox Macworld Booth No. 1043, is a bundled system that includes
the EFI Fiery® EX7750 color server and the award-winning Xerox
Phaser 7750 color printer. Color servers are workstations that
process print files and drive the printer.
Expanding Xerox’s portfolio of
graphic arts products, the Phaser EX7750 provides the power, color
precision and advanced workflow controls to support a wide range of
graphic arts and production applications in environments from
short-run printing to in-plant print shops. The Phaser EX7750 color
management tools produce the consistently high-quality documents
customers want -- streamlining the printing process and eliminating
extra review cycles.
The Phaser EX7750 is the latest
result of the long-standing collaboration between EFI and Xerox,
which includes Fiery servers optimized for the Xerox DocuColor 12
copier/printer, DocuColor 3535 multifunction system, DocuColor 5252
digital press, DocuColor 6060 digital press, DocuColor 8000 digital
press, and the Xerox iGen3® Digital Production Press.
“The Phaser EX7750 is designed to
provide customers with increased productivity, saving them time and
money as they produce outstanding prints,” said Tim Williams,
president, Xerox Office Group. “The Phaser EX7750 bundles the Fiery
EX7750 server with the Phaser 7750 color printer to create a
‘one-two punch’ that can handle even the most complex projects.”
“Xerox and EFI share a commitment
to provide optimal solutions for the full gamut of customers ranging
from smaller print shops and office environments to high-end
production,” added Frank Mallozzi, vice president of Worldwide
Sales, EFI. “The Phaser EX7750 is another terrific opportunity to
show graphic artists who demand high-quality, high-performance color
printing capabilities why Fiery consistently earns the industry’s
accolades.”
Based on Xerox’s expertise in
digital printing and on Fiery technology that exceeds performance
and precision standards, key Phaser EX7750 features include:
