In many corporations, typical copy jobs make just a few copies of a document. However, in some organizations, a significant percentage of jobs involve the creation of 25 or more copies per "original," particularly:
- Schools and colleges
- Non-profit organizations
- Banks
- Corporate Reproduction Departments (CRDs) or Print-for-Pay print shops
In these environments, the Savin Family of Digital Duplicators offer a compelling "intermediate technology" that positions between a copier and an offset press.
Savin Digital Duplicators are high-speed, multifunctional digital printing systems that integrate three basic output technologies: scanning, precision imaging, and high-speed printing. Combining the operating simplicity of standard copiers or multifunctional imaging with the durability and cost-effectiveness of offset printing, these versatile ink-on-paper devices help you reset your cost-per copy calculations on copy jobs requiring 25 to 5000 pieces. Plus, like the majority of Elite's versatile line of digital imaging systems, Savin Digital Duplicators are readily connected to desktop computing platforms to create a "direct-to-press" printing center.
The key to the digital duplicator's cost-savings is their rugged reliability. These devices are engineered to produce volume output, just like a commercial press. A minimum of moving parts, straight paper path and simplified imaging technology - ink-on-paper through a cut master - make for remarkably low operating cost. Advanced technology means all the printing technology is fully self-contained, so there is no ink to handle or masters to insert or dispose of. To a casual observer, a digital duplicator looks and operates just like a copier.
The difference is a finished cost-per-copy - on longer print runs - of around 0.5 cents. This makes a digital duplicator a real money-saver for:
- Forms
- Classroom handouts
- Simple mailings
- Fund-raising flyers
- Registration cards
and a host of other routine documents that an organization/institution produces on a regular basis.
