Fast, colour-capable MFP flexibility is a reality with DSc428/435/445

The latest range of colour-capable products, the DSc428, DSc435 and DSc445 from Gestetner SA combine double-sided colour print, copy and scan with a range of innovative IT features - as standard in a single device. Outstanding quality, fast colour and even faster black and white speeds ensure effortless production of business documents. Flexibility is enhanced by the option to add fax functionality, which unlocks the full resources of MFP performance.

"Demand for colour is growing rapidly among businesses, as customers see the added value that colour can bring to documents," says Richard Pinker, managing director of Gestetner SA. "These products offer customers the benefits of colour, along with all-round MFP performance."

Gestetner`s DSc428, DSc435 and DSc445 boost productivity with fast, quality printing and quick warm-up times. Colour speeds of 24/28/35ppm respectively mean that professional-looking documents are available when needed. Black and white speeds are faster still (28/35/45ppm), ensuring rapid delivery and outstanding results, whatever the nature of the print job.

All three devices provide customers with high levels of security and visibility of costs. Colour printing can be restricted to specific users via the Windows-based authentication feature that assists in the control of printing costs. This feature allows IT managers to restrict access to certain functions of the device through users` log-on profiles. For secure environments, the Data Overwrite Security option automatically overwrites temporary information on the hard drive, providing added peace of mind.

Gestetner`s DSc428, DSc435 and DSc445 have a built-in set of IT tools to create a flexible, centralised document hub that includes distribution and archiving. Scan-to-Folder allows documents to be sent straight to specific network folders, while Scan-to-E-mail enables documents to be distributed directly to e-mail addresses. These valuable tools help businesses improve efficiency, while also reducing reliance on paper documents.

The superior quality of Gestetner`s new toner delivers sharper image reproduction, due to smaller and more uniform particle size compared with conventional toners. This combined with a number of finishing options allows customers to produce professional-looking colour materials in-house, including booklets, stapled reports and vibrant colour presentations, at up to 1 200dpi. This reduces reliance on outsourced document production, saving extra time and money.

Environmental considerations are also satisfied by Gestetner`s DSc428, DSc435 and DSc445. Manufactured free of lead, cadmium, chromium and PVC, these devices can comply with future EU environmental legislation. Less energy is used in the production process of the DSc428, DSc435 and DSc445`s new toner, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 30%, compared to conventional toner production. The fax option offers further environmental benefits with `paperless fax` features, Fax-to-Folder and Fax-to-E-mail features, which reduce paper consumption by directing incoming documents to specific network folders or inboxes.

Gestetner offers an advanced range of multifunctional products (MFPs) that combine the functionality of advanced digital copiers with those of network printers, network scanners and faxes. With the significant advantages of network connectivity and the flexibility of the MFP`s combined options, Gestetner is capable of matching all its clients` needs; from the simplest to the most sophisticated with a single, reliable and high quality package every time.
