Xerox Color Laser Printer - Manual (Page 8)

6
There are traditionally four broad categories for color printer applications:
• Businesses use color to impress, convince, sell ideas, improve clarity and communicate more effectively.
• Graphic arts and creative communities use color printers at the design level to develop comps and pre-press proofs
for client approvals.
• Engineering and Scientific users have long known the value of color to aid in data analysis and to help simplify complex
information.
• Print-on-Demand services meet the high quality and rapid turnaround demands for jobs such as real estate
flyers, in-store signage and labels, and restaurant menus.
Additionally, a wide variety of users are commonly printing color-intensive pages off the Internet, creating proposals with
color charts and graphics, generating in-house communications, and incorporating color into their everyday correspondence
and reports. The opportunity for expanding color into the networked office is almost limitless.
This alphabetical listing of target markets represents major examples where color printing can have a significant impact.
It is not all-inclusive, and you will find many opportunities not represented here.
