As Savin continues to grow its product portfolio, you are better positioned to seize market share from
competitors. As a result, you will find yourself competing against a wide range of color and black &
white MFPs from other vendors. You will also be competing in different environments, including larger
offices, workgroups and departments, as well as light production operations.
The chart below provides a graphic look at the competitive landscape for the C6055/C7570.
Full information about each of the competitive offerings and how the C6055/C7570 stack up can be
found in the Competitive Guide that is included as part of the launch kit.
XEROX
Xerox offers two color product families in eight configurations that compete with the C6055 and
C7570. These two product families are differentiated by their front-end controller, sharing common
engines.
In the DocuColor family, these include the DC242/252/260 series, which operate at 55/40, 65/50,
and 75/60 ppm, respectively (BW/FC). These products include some “heavy” specifications for the
Production environment, such as support for 300 gsm paper weight and 13-inch paper handling. Xerox
touts is 2400dpi resolution and positions these systems as lower volume alternatives to its more
expensive DC 8000 systems. In general, the DocuColor family will carry a higher price point and is
more frequently sold into the light production or product environment.
For the office environment, Xerox offers the WC7655/7665/7675 Work Centre series, which is based
on the same engine as the DC 242/252/260. This is a “lighter” model, than the DocuColor series,
and more geared toward office use. Xerox brought the Work Centre series to market at a dramatically
lower price than the DocuColor series, with a Xerox controller, to make it more appealing for general
office use.
