Overview

The Xerox Nuvera foundation comprises essential elements for incredible, offset-level image quality. It offers 4800 x 600 dpi and up to 156 lpi, plus the cost and time efficiencies associated with digital.

Faster and more RIPs. An advanced Dual Core Processor plus Parallel Raster Image Processing (RIP) means the Xerox Nuvera gets your jobs in and out of the gate in a hurry. Your jobs are processed quickly and in the most efficient way possible.

More uptime, more often. The Xerox Nuvera offers Pass Through Programming that enables you to keep your system up and running even when you’re waiting for service. You’ll enjoy more uptime, more often, ensuring you are able to meet your deadlines and productivity goals.

THE XEROX NUVERA 288 EA PERFECTING PRODUCTION SYSTEM OFFERS YOU EXTRAORDINARY IMAGE QUALITY.

The result of today’s most progressive monochrome technology, coupled with customer-focused engineering, the Xerox Nuvera relies on revolutionary EA fine particle toner to produce page after page of polished impressions that are comparable to, or exceed, offset-level output for all of your applications.

Since the industry quantifies great imaging in dots per inch (dpi) and lines per inch (lpi), it’s important to know the Xerox Nuvera® has an impressive set of numbers to support the results you’ll see, including:

• RIP at 1200 x 1200 dpi
• 4800 x 600 dpi printing
• Halftone screens are available at 85, 106, 125, 134, and an unprecedented 156 lpi

These quality facts translate into the phenomenal printed pages you’ll produce— through silky grays, pictures that say “this is for real” and heightened clarity and detail in every line and letter.

Impress all of your audiences with great image quality.

There is no substitute for great images—they’re the first thing your customers will notice and they make a lasting impression on you. By combining progressive monochrome technology with customer-focused engineering, the Xerox Nuvera 288 EA Perfecting Production System provides image quality that challenges offset.

Innovative EA Toner

Fine particle EA (Emulsion Aggregation) Toner is a key factor in the Xerox Nuvera high image quality:

• It produces fine lines with maximum detailing, sharp text, halftones, and deep solid blacks.
• Printed pages have a smooth, offset-like matte finish.
• Fine scatter typically associated with monochrome digital printing is transparent, so even the most detailed line work is razor sharp. Images are crisp and clear.
• High yields mean longer production print runs are possible without operator attention or intervention to change toner/developer.
• Friendly to the environment, EA Toner achieves better distribution of smaller particles for higher quality with less toner per page.

MORE UNATTENDED RUN TIMES SAVE YOU TIME.

Toner and developer are uniquely combined in a single high-volume container, offering you key benefits:

• Replace less often—the average yield for each toner bottle is 210,000 prints per cartridge.
• Maximum unattended run time—each Xerox Nuvera system is equipped with a toner reservoir that holds enough toner for another 2,500 prints after the bottle is empty, allowing plenty of time to change while you run.
• More uptime—change-while-run.

ADVANCED REGISTRATION TECHNOLOGY KEEPS SHEETS IN PLACE.

You’ll achieve superior process and cross-process registration of +/- 0.65 mm for sheet sizes 8.5 x 11" and A4, which meets or exceeds general publishing standards. Our Translating Electronic Registration (TELER) precisely controls the position of each sheet of paper according to the image on the photoreceptor and the speed of each sheet traveling through the paper path. In this way, it ensures each sheet is in exactly the right position to receive the latent image to deliver impressive results.

SIMPLIFY UNIQUE REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS.

The Xerox Nuvera 288 EA Perfecting Production System also enables customized, independent Side-1 and Side-2 registration for your most unique applications. Custom registration parameters can be established for a specific stock, then stored within the system’s stock library for quick recall. This increases your productivity for even your most advanced applications.

MEDIA TO MATCH YOUR APPLICATIONS

You can choose from an expansive range of substrates to match your application requirements and build your application capabilities, even oversized coated papers. Expect consistently high image quality on popular coated and uncoated stocks, including Bond, Cover, Index, bristol, offset, recycled, transparencies, carbonless, labels, tabs, and preprinted forms.

OPTIMAL SHEET FLATNESSANY WHERE

Optimally flat sheets, delivered by our slim, automated Sheet Enhancement Module (SEM), yield flatter sheets with less curl for smoother print runs, regardless of your production print environment.

• Stack quality is optimized, ensuring high performance from your downstream finishing alternatives.
• Your operators can fine-tune automated controls or access a “manual override” function to compensate when proactively fighting heat and humidity in your print production environment. This ensures you achieve optimal sheet flatness.
• This functionality works in conjunction with the stock library to automatically adjust to the characteristics of the paper you are running.

RELIABLY PRODUCTIVE FOR YOU
