Faster Digital Color at UT-Austin - In-plant Impressions

By Bob Neubauer

To improve both its quality and its delivery time, the University of Texas-Austin has upgraded from a Xerox 2045 to a Xerox 7000.“We were steadily doing 70,000 a month on it, and that’s a lot for a 2045,” says Steve Meadows, Copy Center Manager.

The new machine can run card stock at 70 pages per minute, he says. This is just what the in-plant needs to produce book covers, posters, postcards and other common jobs.

“It’s enabled us to be able to offer our customers better prices also,” he adds. He says the 7000 has a lower click charge and its lease payments are $2,000 a month less than those of the 2045.

The quality of the final products has even brought new customers, he says. The McCombs School of Business previously sent its work to an outside printer, but when it saw samples of the 7000’s work, it was hooked, he says.

“Just the enhancement in the color and the speed is definitely benefiting the campus already,” Meadows says.
