Gestetner introduces upgraded DSc38u colour printer

Gestetner South Africa has introduced the DSc38u printer aimed at the office market. The upgraded DSc38u prints at 28 pages per minute in colour and 38 pages per minute in black and white at a lower cost per colour printing.

"Affordable high-speed, high-volume colour printing is now in reach of every organisation," says Anthony Ho, Product Support Manager at Gestetner South Africa. "This means that companies can take advantage of the benefits of colour documents, without compromising on cost. The DSc38u`s improved processing power and warm up time of less than 99 seconds, makes this machine an attractive option for businesses looking for fast and affordable colour printing."

Apart from the standard network printing options, the new machine also includes a USB connection, which allows users to connect directly with the machine by simply plugging into the device and printing. For mobile workers this means easy connection to a colour printer without the hassle of connecting to a network first.

The print quality of this machine is high at true 1 200dpi resolution, ensuring pin-sharp quality in mono and colour. Standard drivers such as Adobe PostScript 3 and PCL5c, guarantee that printed documents appear identical to how they were created on screen.

The finishing options of this printer include duplex (double sided) sorting, as well as staple and hole punching that enables users to produce high volumes of products from their desktop PC, over the network or via the LCD panel.

Ho comments: "Colour documents which previously would have been printed in black and white, can now be seen in multicolour as both mono and colour printing is available from a single device. The range of finishing options will allow professional, high quality colour documents to be produced in-house, at low cost."

This printer can handle a wide range of paper types from OHP transparencies to envelopes. With a 500-sheet standard capacity and up to 3 500 sheets with the optional variety of paper banks, the machine does not have to be constantly refilled, even on larger jobs. When the paper feed runs out, it automatically searches other trays for paper of the same size and orientation. The DSc38u can act as a completely centralised document workstation, providing A4 and A3 digital document output printing functions.

"With a wide range of options, the DSc38u is fully customisable to suit a variety of specific printing needs," adds Ho. "The machine can be upgraded to a fully multifunctional product (DSc38u+) offering the same high speed printing, as well as copying, scanning and faxing."

Added benefits to the DSc38u include:

* "Black Over Print", which will achieve less image shift between black letters and background.
* Added finishing options include staple, punch and sorting.
* Added security and management software.
