Compared to conventional models, ApeosPrint C325 dw and Apeos C325 z have approximately 40% less body volume and weight due to the incorporation of newly developed engines. Their compact size meets the needs for A4 printers to be used in a limited space such as store or bank counters and clinic receptions. The printers have no compromise on performance, image quality and data security. It supports continuous printing speed of 31 sheets per minute on A4 size and 41 sheets per minute on A5 size^{Note 2} in both color and, black and white. Stable image quality is also ensured with the newly developed LED Print Head that corrects the light level, and FUJIFILM Business Innovation’s proprietary IReCT^{Note 3} technology that corrects the image quality.
