Colour like life - Xerox printers gain FOGRA certification

The Phaser 7760: state-of-the-art colour reproductionFOGRA certification is one of the highest accolades in the print industry. The certification - also known as ISO 12647-2 - shows a brand-wide commitment to the highest standards of colour reproduction. FOGRA is also an internationally recognised mark of quality of print devices.

Recently, Glenn Mack of Xerox gained FOGRA certification, one of only 8 people in the UK to do so. This means Xerox is certified on an enterprise level and many of its printers are now recognised by the industry as capable of maintaining the highest standards of print quality and colour reproduction demanded by some of the World's most demanding companies.

FOGRA certified Xerox printers include:

• Xerox 700 Digital Colour Press with EX700 / Splash Controller / integrated with ColorProof X
• Xerox DocuColor 242/252/260 with EX260 / Splash Controller / integrated with ColorProof XF
• Xerox Phaser 7760 with ColorProof XF and Express

What does FOGRA certification mean to you?

FOGRA certification will be important to you if your business has a need for consistent and accurate colour reproduction. Your customers demand accurate representation, and many of the printers on the market today don't have the right technology to deliver you real-to-life prints that look great. Now that Xerox has achieved FOGRA certification, its devices have met the strict standards set out by the the FOGRA print research institute and can consistently produce vivid prints that are colour accurate and can be tested with a spectrometer.

The following groups may benefit for printers with FOGRA certification:

• Large corporations who specificy FOGRA standards on their outsourced prints
• Print professionals who need to provide regular, colour-accurate prints to customers
• Startups and small businesses in the Pay Per Print environment who may be looking to purchase their first digital press

FOGRA certification can significantly improve your colour prints and your business prospects - you don't have to worry about inaccurate colour representation or whether your final proof will differ from the original.
