Introduction

A new way to look at documents

One of the greatest advantages of digital colour applications and systems is that they allow high-quality colour process printing to be produced in smaller quantities at a higher frequency, as well as personally tailored printing to optimise customer interaction. Digital printing technology changes the way we think about and create documents. Limitless possibilities are now accessible for full-colour, near-offset quality printing

at a reasonable price.

Until recently, highly trained imaging experts working on expensive proprietary systems typically performed most imaging tasks such as colour enhancement and image manipulation. New technologies and desktop publishing applications have changed all that, enabling designers to complete many of these tasks from their desktop computers.

The more knowledgeable you are about the imaging process from document creation to output, the easier it will be to maximise your results. This guide offers suggestions that will help you get the most out of your imaging applications when preparing files to print on a Xerox DocuColor 2045 or 2060 digital colour press.

An overview of the DocuColor 2000 Series Design Guide

The DocuColor 2000 Series Design Guide has been written to provide you with all the information you need to ensure you get the highest quality printed documents from the DocuColor 2045 and 2060 with the minimum of fuss – every time. It is divided into sections for easy reference.

•Section 1 covers the topic of digital print, describing what it is, the workflow, and the key benefits digital print offers designers and customers. Use this section to learn more about digital print and what it offers.

•Section 2 details the key attributes of the DocuColor 2000 Series. It examines some of the technology used and details performance and printing characteristics. Use this section to learn more about the capabilities of the DocuColor 2045 and 2060.

•Section 3 provides guidance on how to design your documents to get the best possible results from the DocuColor 2045 and 2060 and avoid design elements that may cause problems. Use this section as a guide to ensure you design documents that will result in perfectly printed documents every time.
