Wide Format Imaging

Architectural, engineering and construction companies, manufacturing firms and commercial print shops have an affordable new option for their black-and-white technical documents. Xerox Corporation's Wide Format 6604 and 6605 Solutions mark the eighth and ninth wide format products the company has unveiled in the last two years.

The compact new systems integrate 600 x 600 dpi copying, scanning and printing with an easy-to-use interface to ensure crisp, accurate image quality on jobs such as emergency services maps, electrical wiring diagrams or construction plans. An on-board color scanner allows for hard copy documents to be scanned to electronic files or can copy existing prints of varying sizes, including the most common wide-format size drawings, E and A0 documents.

The 6604 and 6605 Solutions can produce up to four and five D or A1 size images per minute, respectively. Users can select a two-roll paper option for greater printing capacity. The 15-inch color touch screen and intuitive user interface make them easy to operate, even for users that don't have familiarity with wide format printers.

"What sets these products apart are the simple graphical user interface, high-quality output and modular approach, which make it easy for customers to add features and capacity as needs change," said Tim Greene, director of wide-format and jetting technologies at InfoTrends.

The printers are equipped with the FreeFlow Accxes Print Server, allowing customers to preview scans and simultaneously print, copy and scan-to-file with select options. Other new features include:
