Xerox Nuvera 120/144/157 EA Digital Production System for Black & White Publishing

The Xerox Nuvera 120/144/157 EA Series is a monochrome digital production system for organisations whose black-and-white output is counted in millions of pages: commercial printers, book and manual publishers, transactional document centres, print operations in government and banking, as well as individuals or clients whose volumes have outgrown classic repro. The three speeds — 120, 144 or 157 images per minute — are sized for recommended volumes of 1.5 to 2.2 million images per month, with maximum cycles of 3.2 to 4.7 million. A fourth configuration, the NV144EA MICR, prints with magnetic toner for cheques and banking documents — a specialist trade few presses cover.

Image quality is the Nuvera’s historic argument: a 4800 x 600 dpi resolution served by EA toner, for deep blacks, fine detail and a matte, offset-quality finish. Productivity follows: up to 23,200 sheets of paper capacity with loading while printing, stocks from 44 to 300 gsm, extended formats up to roughly 320 x 490 mm, and some fifteen inline and offline finishing options — booklet making, inline binding, perfect binding, hole punching — delivering finished books, manuals and brochures straight off the machine. Specialty media are covered (carbonless paper, tab inserts, tear-proof NeverTear stocks, preprinted offset forms), and third-party feeders plus post-print insertion modules let you integrate colour covers and special pages. The whole system is driven by the integrated FreeFlow print server and automated with FreeFlow Core, while security meets banking-grade requirements: SSL/TLS encryption, authentication, IP filtering and removable hard drives. Sheet-conditioning and cyclonic-cleaning technologies keep quality constant over very long runs.

To place the machine in our catalogue: the PrimeLink B9100, our light-production monochrome multifunction device, tops out at 136 ppm and 700,000 pages per month — the Nuvera begins roughly where the B9100 stops, with volumes five to seven times higher, but without a multifunction’s copying and scanning: it is a press, not a repro machine. Between the series’ three speeds, your actual monthly volume decides; and if your needs exceed even this calibre, the range continues with the Nuvera 288/314. Our advisers will size it with you.

At D&O Partners, the Nuvera Series is available for purchase or leasing, with site study, installation and configuration by our certified technicians, across Belgium. Our maintenance contracts include on-site support and consumables delivered within 48 hours — on machines producing millions of pages, continuity is the real product.

FAQ:

Which Nuvera model should I choose for my volume?
The three speeds share media and finishing; they differ in volume: NV120EA (120 ipm, 1.5 million recommended images per month), NV144EA (144 ipm, 2 million) and NV157EA (157 ipm, 2.2 million), with maximum cycles of 3.2 to 4.7 million. Our certified technicians will size it against your actual volumes.

What is the MICR configuration for?
The NV144EA MICR prints with magnetic toner (MICR) readable by banking processing systems: it is the configuration dedicated to printing cheques and secure banking documents, at 144 ipm and up to 2.8 million images per month.

What is the difference between the Nuvera and the PrimeLink B9100?
An order of magnitude: the B9100 is an intensive repro multifunction device (up to 136 ppm and 700,000 pages per month, with copying and scanning), while the Nuvera is a pure production press whose recommended volumes start at 1.5 million monthly images, with perfect binding, MICR and offset-grade quality that repro does not aim for.

Is the Nuvera suitable for sensitive documents?
Yes, it is built for demanding environments such as banking: SSL/TLS encryption, authentication, IP filtering and removable hard drives guarantee the confidentiality of printed data.
