Printer Review Xerox 7760
Last Updated on June 15, 2020 by Christian Ralph
In the past, producing colour documents, literature, brochures and presentations would typically involve outsourcing much of the production work and printing tasks. Now, businesses large and small can quickly produce printed material in color at a lower cost—thus leading to increased profits for the companies and more money into the pockets of the solution providers that serve them.
For businesses that need to produce professional-looking printed material with the sharpness and color accuracy that traditional offset printing typically delivers, solution providers need look no further than Xerox’s new Phaser 7760 colour laser printer. The printer can output up to 35 ppm in color and up to 45 ppm in black-and-white, with plethora of optional accessories and capabilities.
The Phaser 7760 is a single-pass 1,200 x 1,200-dpi printer that comes standard with an 800MHz processor, 512 Mbytes of memory and a 40-Gbyte hard drive. The first-page-out time is a speedy six seconds for monochrome and nine seconds for color. Intended for high-volume printing, the Phaser 7760 has a monthly duty cycle of up to 150,000 pages. Automatic two-sided printing is standard on all models, along with Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 interfaces. Supported print languages include Adobe PostScript 3, PDF-Direct and PCL 5c emulation. All popular operating systems are supported.
A high-volume printer needs to have a very large paper tray capacity. The base model 7760DN holds 650 sheets with its two standard input trays of 150- and 500-sheets. The next step up, the 7760GX, adds a 1,500-sheet high-capacity feeder for a total input capacity of 2,150 sheets. The top-of-the-line model, the 7760DX, comes with a 2,500-sheet high-capacity feeder for a total of 3,150 sheets. A solution provider can add a high-capacity feeder to the base model as a customer’s printing volume increases.
The Phaser 7760 is a large-format printer that can easily accommodate 11-inch x 17-inch paper, as well as many other types of print media. It can handle common bond paper up to 80 pounds and cover stock up to 220 grams per square meter. It can print banners, with custom sizes in widths up to 12.6 inches and lengths up to 47.25 inches.
Xerox’s combination of improved electronics, enhanced image processing, precision mechanical components and state-of-the-art toner chemistry results in high-quality output. Pages produced by the Phaser 7760 show amazing detail. Images offer sharpness, richness and contrast that few printers can match. To help produce exacting output, the printer offers PANTONE-approved solid-color simulations, Adobe PostScript device-independent color, CIE International color standards, and support for ICC, ICM and Apple ColorSync color management systems.
Options that the solution provider can add to the Phaser 7760 increase the functionality of the unit. For example, the Advanced Finisher option includes a three-hole punch device and a 50-sheet multi-position stapler that can create ready-to-go reports and presentations. The Professional Finisher option adds a saddle-stitch function that automatically folds and staples printed pages into finished booklets.
