AccurioPress C84hc

The AccurioPress C84hc prints with a unique High Chroma toner set whose gamut approaches sRGB — reproducing vivid blues, greens and pinks that standard CMYK simply cannot hit. For photo labs and photobook producers it is a differentiator machine that competes with nothing else at its price.

Xerox Versant 4100
