Big performance, small footprint wide format multifunctional from Nashua Enhance your wide-format workflow with Nashua’s Aficio™MP W2401/MP W3601

ou know what you want from your wide-format printer. It must process your workflow fast and at an attractive cost.

Big performance, small footprint: Aficio™ MP W2401/ MP W3601 A dream combination: affordable wideformat document production in a compact footprint. You can securely copy, scan, distribute and archive with one surprisingly compact unit. With their top-of-the-range optional colour scanner and speed of 6.4 A1 pages per minute (MP W3601), these devices offer productivity improvements for the busy office. You can process a variety of paper sizes from A4 up to A0: opt for the two roll configuration or the additional 250-sheet paper cassette (up to A3).

Single Space-Saving Footprint For such heavy weight performers, the Aficio™MP W2401/ MP W3601 take up surprisingly little space. No wonder they are the most compact devices in their class. You certainly won’t need a separate print room, which saves valuable office space.

Scan, Distribute, Share The optional built-in colour scanner is guaranteed to increase your productivity. You can revise large format drawings in colour: add comments, scan the drawings and distribute. Scan to email, folder or URL is also possible. Or scan originals at a high resolution of 600 dpi and save them on a USB memory device or SD memory card. The MP W2401/ MP W3601 even allow you to preview scanned documents before transmission.

Easy To Operate If you use other Nashua devices you will immediately feel at home.

• Extremely compact design. • Optional colour scanner with variety of standard features. • Very easy to use – large LCD touch-panel. • Latest security features fully incorporated. • Superb productivity: 4.4/6.4 ppm (A1) and 2.4/3.4 ppm (A0). The 8.5- inch LCD colour touchpanel allows you to access all the device’s great functions. Its status is clearly visible and a login/logout hard key enables rapid user authentication. Documents can be previewed in full-colour thumbnails. A simplified display with fewer keys and a larger font allows visually impaired users to operate the devices confidently. And to make the devices even more user-friendly, they support 18 languages.

Highly Secure Both devices incorporate t h e l a te s t l e v e l o f security features to meet customer requirements in this area. They support security standards IEEE 802.11 WEP and WPA/WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i). WPA/WPA2 is an interoperable Wi-Fi security specification introduced by Wi-Fi Alliance. It provides a high level of assurance to enterprises and small businesses. Your data remains fully protected; only authorized users are able to access your networks.

Maximum Uptime W ith the aid of clear, step-by-step animated guidance the touch-panel guides you smoothly through toner replacement procedures or any irregularities such as a paper jam. The paper jam clearance mechanism itself is refreshingly simple. Side guides enable easy lower tray stacking.

Environmentally Friendly Nashua’s Aficio™ wide format printers have eco-friendly and money-saving features such as a short warm-up time (less than 120 seconds), increased toner yield and low power consumption. They also comply with the RoHS directive. In addition, Nashua products are Energy star compliant. This means less C02 is produced in providing the energy needed to run Nashua devices.

Enhanced technology for increased productivity

The Nashua Pro™ C651EX / C751E the next generation in digital pri

he new Nashua Pro™ C751 series takes digital light production printing to another level. It harnesses a rich heritage in research and development. It builds on established standards of quality, reliability, efficiency and durability. And with an array of innovative technologies, it leads the way from start to finish.

Digital printing redefined As the on-demand colour printing market grows, so does its needs. Innovative, cost competitive solutions are key. With superior image quality and exceptional functionality, the new Ricoh Pro™ C751 series offers the highest specification and reliability in its class. PRODUCT SPECS

Pro™C651EX/C751EX/C751: • Technology: 4-drum electrostatic transfer system with internal transfer belt • Print Speed: Full Colour/Mono: Pro™C651EX: 65ppm Pro™C751EX/C751: 75ppm • Resolution: 1,200 x 4,800 dpi • Warm-up time: Less than 300 sec. • Duty Cycle: 350,000 pages per month • Scanner Resolution: 100/150/(200)/300/400/600 (Default) dpi 100-1,200 dpi (Twain: BW) 100-1,200 dpi (Twain: Colour) • Scan Speed: BW: 75 ppm, FC 75 ppm • Max Scan Area: 297 x 432mm

From start to finish, the Pro™ C751 raises the standard for productivity, efficiency, quality and profitability.

Extremely high image quality VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) technology for razor sharp 4800dpi. Compared with eight beam 1200dpi, VCSEL has as many as 40 laser beams emitting simultaneously to give exceptionally accurate and smooth image quality. PxP™ Polymerised toner and oil-less fusing technology features ultra-fine particles with a low melting point to achieve a smoother, more even finish. This sets a new standard for on-demand printing that rivals offset quality and expands the scope of printed materials.

High precision duplex registration This is made possible by the combination of Mechanical Registration and VCSEL technology which corrects paper skews and compensates for media distortion to ensure precise image positioning and accurate registration on both sides – ideal for printing of items such as business cards, postcards and publications.

New active toner density control technology This technology monitors the amount of toner being used and provides the developer unit with just the right amount at precisely the right time for consistent colour uniformity across the sheet, from the first print to the last. Organic photoconductors (OPCs) lead the print industry in high sensitivity and durability. The enhanced overcoat layer of the Advanced Stabilisation OPC drum increases both durability and ability to produce stable colour during continuous print runs. Intelligent OPC Drive Control provides continuous feedback adjustment for drum rotation speed to minimise colour shift.

Outstanding media versatility A new improved fusing unit and paper path designed to support up to 300gsm, provides broad media support and high productivity regardless of paper thickness. It significantly enhances production of thick media such as direct mail, postcards and business cards with productivity up to 150% higher than competitors.

BUSINESS PRODUCT Review

EX / C751 – inting Textured paper, envelopes, synthetic material, labels, cards and more can be accommodated.

Media library A simple pre-set press and media catalogue means that anyone can set print jobs with the easy-to-master intuitive interface of the colour touch screen. The extensive library holds over 100 profiles as well as a custom library for personalised media profiles and a back-up capacity for an additional 1,000 profiles. It gives real scope to take full advantage of a diverse range of different print opportunities.

And even from a distance, users can check printing status in real time with the Status Pole Indicator.

Users can easily set up complex printing jobs; applying settings by selecting preset or custom media types, which synchronises after each update with the printer server media library on an EFI Fiery™ E-41A.

By maintaining the developer temperature at the appropriate level, it enables extended and uninterrupted printing for truly efficient productivity.

Together with the Media Library’s exceptional features, it delivers unsurpassed colour reproduction, job after job after job.

Enhanced Operator Replaceable Units (ORUs) for maximum uptime These enable users to replace key components rather than waiting for a service engineer, minimising downtime while maximising productivity and reducing cost. Adding new media, toner bottles or replacing waste bottles doesn’t require the suspension of the printing process – a valuable asset especially for time-critical runs.

Ease of use

Liquid cooling system These are the first cut-sheet digital printers to use a new liquid cooling system.

Cutting edge workflow management Using the latest Adobe® PDF Print Engine (APPE) technology, the C751 series also features an external EFI E-41A Fiery Server, connected as standard. Designed to suit your workflow and print application requirements, it delivers superior throughput and supports finishing options to raise the value of every print job.

This is an exceptionally useful feature when producing comprehensive documents for sales brochures or creating POS, with the ability to reproduce full bleed A3 with crop marks and borders. Call Nashua today and make your first impression your best.

Exceptional productivity With its SRA3/DLT Large Capacity Tray, the Pro™ C751 series has a total capacity of up to 7,000 sheets and the Bypass Tray Unit can handle the largest paper size in its class of 330.2 x 630mm.

Introduction to Records Management Information is a vital asset

Businesses evolve around documents – contracts, correspondence, orders, reports and much more – that record all types of activities. Even the smallest companies are required to keep records (for accounts, audits, tax, pensions, etc). Records Management can be a vital asset but only if documents can be easily found or accessed.

Did you know?

You could be committing an offence by failing to keep accurate records for the required period of time or being unable to locate them?

A good records management programme can help you improve your business results: • The systematic disposal of records will prevent costly paper accumulation and free up valuable space. • Your company will be protected from accidental or premature destruction of records. • Reference retrieval will be faster – less time will be spent waiting for information. • Purchases of expensive office filing equipment will be avoided. • Potentially crippling breaches of corporate security will be safeguarded against.

Disposal of records and information Personal and corporate identity fraud is a fast growing crime and occurs when an individual’s or company’s personal or confidential information is obtained by another person without their knowledge in order to create a new false identity. Once a document has reached the end of its life and no longer needs to be retained, it must be disposed of securely. It is Best Practice to have a secure document disposal policy in place in order to protect your company, employees and customers; as well as a legal requirement for business. For more info on SARS Retention of Records, visit the Helpful Tools section on www.fellowes.co.za

What to shred?

Every piece of paper or document that contains some form of information or data that may be of use to criminals, fraudsters or competitors should be shredded before disposal.

Personal documents

Company Documents

• Bank and credit card statements and receipts • Utility bills • Pre-approved credit card applications • Tax returns • Documents showing signatures and ID numbers

• Customer details and client lists • Marketing plans and sales figures • Accounting records and financial reports • Personnel files, CVs and salary information

• Research and Development plans • Legal documents, patent information and medical records • Letter-headed paper, compliment slips and documents showing signatures

ashua provides a clear value to customers looking for best-in-class applications and infrastructure that can support their business flows and that are, at the same time, affordable and easily deployed and managed.

Whatever your projection needs, Sony offers a model to suit your application, from 3LCD entry-level, basic installation to high-end installation models.

VPL-FH500L versatile installation WUXGA projector Ultimate picture quality and dramatic brightness in WUXGA projection Packing the most advanced projector technologies into a low-profile design, the VPL-FH500L delivers a dramatic brightness of 7,000 lumens and ultra high-quality images with WUXGA resolution. The VPL-FH500L offers peace-of-mind operation with a twin-lamp system that provides both a redundant lamp and economical operation. Alternating the two lamps gives replacement time of up to 8,000 hours, saving maintenance time and cost. It also delivers amazing installation flexibility and hassle-free maintenance in a stylish design that blends into any decor. This projector has a very wide lens shift range for excellent flexibility when installing the unit and adjusting the image. Lamp and air filter maintenance cycles are synchronised and exceptionally long compared to singlelamp and other dual-lamp systems, cutting maintenance time and cost.

Ultra-high wuxga resolution with full-HD compatibility The VPL-FH500 delivers an amazing resolution of WUXGA (1920 x 1200), which exceeds Full-HD resolution (1920 x 1080). It also allows projection in a wider display range: more information can be displayed on the screen, so the user can see the whole page without scrolling. Extremely clear and detailed high-quality images are projected, even on a large screen, and native Full-HD images can be projected full screen.

The VPL-FX30 incorporates a high-resolution lens known as the All Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens, whose large diameter and fine pitch ensure crisp pictures. It also incorporates 12-bit 3D Gamma Correction circuitry to perform highly accurate gamma correction, achieving smoother gradations and richer grey-scale.

Wide Zoom and Wide Lens Shift Range The standard lens has wide zoom capability for more flexible positioning, closer to or further back from the screen. Wide lens shift range means it can be positioned closer to the ceiling or horizontally offset to avoid ceiling obstacles. Lenses are also interchangeable for increased flexibility.

Vertical/horizontal keystone distortion With these projectors, vertical keystone distortion up to +/- 30 degrees and horizontal distortion up to +/- 20 degrees can be digitally corrected via the on-screen operation menu and/or the Remote Commander™ unit.

This enables detailed images to be projected with their correct geometry, even when installation space is limited. Advanced geometric correction Each corner can be grabbed and fitted squarely to the desired position. This feature is useful when an offset projection is necessary. Fine lens shift The lens shift function allows image position to be easily fine tuned vertically or horizontally. Convenient, simple projector replacement The standard 1.5x zoom lens enables installation flexibility when replacing an existing projector with the VPL-CW255 or VPL-CX235 – there’s no need to change ceiling mount positions. “Blend-in”design The VPL-CW255 and VPL-CX235 showcase a new low-profile chassis, so these projectors appear to blend into the ceiling or wall on which they are mounted.

Cost- and energy-efficient By incorporating a high-performance lamp and advanced lamp-control technology, the VPL-CW255 and VPL-CX235 deliver an extremely long lamp replacement time of 5,000 hours as well as offering remarkably low power consumption, allowing users to make significant electricity savings.
