New print centre for our manuals

and opened our own training centre ... it's survived the building works going on all around but, alas, with old age the toner cartridges and spare parts are getting hard to source and it's running warm.So we've retired the N40 from active daily life and purchased a more recent (faster, higher capacity) model from the same stable. Here's our new Xerox N4525 print centre - it'll print up to 45 pages per minute, double sided, on paper up to A3 in size. The bulk sheet feeders hold up to 2500 sheets each.
Do we really need such a workhorse? Yes, absolutely! A typical set of course notes is more like a book - around 70 to 80 pages per day ensuring that our trainees can concentrate on what they're being taught rather than having to scribble notes all day with aching arms. And the fact that we do our own printing in house means that we can update our notes frequently and produce tailored manuals quickly and easily. I think the "in term" is print on demand
