EvALuATE FLEXIbILITy

Flexibility and scalability are critical for printer-copiers deployed into graphic arts and light production 

departments. Consider the range of controller options available, and whether these options can deliver 

the features and performance you need most. Are finishing options available to automate document 

production? Is the paper capacity expandable to keep up with your highest printing volumes? Flexibility 

also pertains to media flexibility — think about your applications and whether the printer-copiers you’re 

evaluating support the media you need.
