"A few years ago you only had very slow, six page-per-minute devices, and controllers from a relatively few manufacturers," recalls Tim Griffin, director of product marketing for Danka. Speed, he says, went up quickly. "Now you are seeing a middle ground product emerge," he says.

One of those products is the Xerox DocuColor 30, which has filled the gap between the nine-page-per-minute (ppm) Xerox 5799 and the DocuColor 40, a 40-ppm copier. Paul Hartley, vice president of business development for Xerox, says that Xerox is planning to release other mid-range products in the near future.
