Xerox has announced the Proficio™ PX300 and Proficio™ PX500 Production Presses, a new generation of production devices designed to support the evolving needs of commercial printers and graphic arts providers.
A Production Press Designed Around Progress
Rather than simply increasing speed or adding features, Xerox designed the Proficio Production Series to help print providers adapt to changing customer demands. From automation to intelligent controls, the PX300 and PX500 are built to reduce manual intervention, maintain consistent output, and support a wider range of applications.
Why Print Providers Are Paying Attention
Today’s production environments demand more than just speed. Printers are looking for technology that allows them to:
- Deliver consistent colour across long and repeat jobs
- Reduce setup time and operator dependency
- Take on higher‑value work without increasing complexity
- Scale production confidently as volumes grow
The Proficio PX300 and PX500 were built with these exact challenges in mind.
Performance That Supports Everyday Production
The PX300 and PX500 are mid‑production colour sheetfed presses designed for reliability and predictability — not just peak performance.
- PX300: Up to 85 pages per minute
- PX500: Up to 100 pages per minute
- Ultra HD print resolution ensures sharp text, smooth gradients, and professional image quality
More importantly, these presses are designed to maintain quality at speed, helping operators avoid constant adjustments and reprints.
More Ways to Differentiate with Fifth‑Colour Capability
One of the standout benefits of the Proficio line is the optional fifth colour station, which allows print providers to expand beyond traditional CMYK jobs.
With options such as clear varnish, satin varnish, and fluorescent pink, printers can:
- Add premium finishes without outsourcing
- Create high‑impact marketing pieces
- Offer specialty applications that command higher margins
This flexibility allows print shops to differentiate their services while making better use of existing production capacity.
Automation That Reduces Complexity
The Proficio PX300 and PX500 are built on a unified platform that incorporates automation and intelligent controls to support consistent output.
Key benefits include:
- Automatic adjustment of colour density and registration
- Real‑time performance monitoring without slowing production
- Improved handling of specialty and synthetic papers
The result is a smoother production experience with less operator intervention and fewer production issues.
A Modern Controller for Modern Workflows
Both presses are powered by a newly developed Fiery‑based print controller, designed specifically for the Proficio platform.
For print providers, this means:
- Faster file processing
- Improved colour consistency
- Easier integration into digital and hybrid workflows
These improvements support shorter turnaround times and more predictable production schedules.
