The DocuColor 6060 prints faster, can accept heavier paper, and can run longer jobs unattended than the 2000.
"The 6060 can print on stock as heavy as 300gsm, and at 280gsm it can do 30ppm compared to the 2060s 15ppm," said DocuColor product marketing manager Kevin ODonnell.
He claimed that competitors machines, like the Canon CLC 5000, which is rated as a 50ppm printer, printed more slowly than the 6060 when it came to heavier stock.
Configured with its maximum four trays, 8,000 sheets can be loaded for long unsupervised jobs, and the 6060 can accept toner and printer re-loads as it runs for non-stop printing.
Although based on the same printing engine as the rest of the DocuColor 2000 family, the 6060 has an expanded range of customer-replaceable parts.
The DocuColor 6060 starts at 130,000 and will work with the latest EFI, Creo and Xerox DocuSP front-ends.
Xerox also launched two colour printer/copiers, the DocuColor 2240 and 1632.
