Michael Stanley, marketing manager of Gestetner SA, says: The speeds and low total cost of ownership of these machines strengthen the business case for a move to colour-capable printers as a way of improving the look and impact of corporate documents in the SME.

Windows authentication asks users to enter their existing Windows log-in to gain access to the device, allowing confidential documents to be produced and distributed securely while having the convenience of one password, he adds. In addition, unauthorised copy protection technology is designed to ensure that selected documents cannot be copied or printed for improper distribution.

The quality that these machines produce is supported by a four-bit engine making the scaling and dithering far better. This combined with the useful finishing options, security features and Web management utilities provide a compelling proposition for office users, says Stanley. 

The MP C2500 and MP C3000 are designed to offer a range of finishing options, and to allow users to produce high quality, versatile documents in-house. With staple, hole-punch and booklet-making functions alongside the ability to accommodate thick paper stocks, both models allow users to add a professional-looking finish to all reports and business documents, Stanley concludes.
