Mixed jobs. One result.

Over the years, DocuTech has excelled in producing mixed jobs with a single result—the highest quality jobs in all of the varieties that customers demand. A series of features makes DocuSP and DocuTech the most powerful solution available for producing mixed media jobs of every kind.

• Robust job ticket programming allows you to

specify exactly how you want your documents to be constructed—including those made up of multiple stocks such as covers, body, and tabs.

• Interposer programming allows you to combine

color and black & white pages into complex documents. Using the DocuSP Queue Manager, you can create a queue that automatically extracts color pages from mixed jobs and forwards them to any DocuColor®print engine—either powered by DocuSP or by a third-party color DFE. Operators can then load the color pages in the DocuTech interposer—avoiding the fuser which would otherwise damage the printed color pages—and let the intelligence of DocuSP merge them back together into collated sets.

• Ordered set recovery assures that if DocuTech

stops printing in the middle of a mixed media job containing ordered stock, you’ll be able to pick up where you left off and guarantee the integrity of every customer job.

Image quality, Image Sense

DocuTech has always given you the best image quality on the market. Now, with DocuSP and patented Image Sense technology, premium image quality is simpler to attain than ever.

Image Sense:

• Makes it possible through its Digital Darkness controls to easily vary the darkness level of your output from very light to very dark. You can achieve this flexibility without manipulating the source file—something that is impossible with many competitive products.

• Provides dozens of individual image quality controls for text, line art, and graphics by PDL.

• Yields output that most closely matches the document creator’s intent.

With DocuSP, you can produce jobs that meet all of your customers’ expectations for image quality and all of your expectations for speed and efficiency.

DFA opens up a world of finishing options that frees your business to accept a wider variety of jobs—making a significant impact on your bottom line. In addition to providing customers with the high-quality output they have come to expect from DocuTech, you’ll be able to enhance and transform them into the kind of jobs that generate higher profits and greater customer satisfaction.
