Challenge to Ultra-High-Speed and High-Productivity Technologies for Xerographic Full-Color Printer

Abstract

In recent years, development of higher-speed xerographic printers and color technology has advanced rapidly and its application to the high-end and high-volume printing industry such as newspaper and service bureau business has accelerated. This market is very attractive.
To respond to this customer demand, Fuji Xerox has developed the world's highest speed full-color printing system employing Flash Fusing technology : “Fuji Xerox 490/980 Color Continuous Feed Printing Systems” (hereafter called “490/980 CCF”). In this paper, the following sections describe the design concept and major technologies employed in this system.
