Xerox Proficio PX500 Production Press

The Xerox Proficio PX500 is the top of the Proficio range: a colour production press for print shops, repro departments and production sites whose volumes are counted in hundreds of thousands of pages — up to 350,000 pages per month in recommended use, with a ceiling of 1,800,000 pages. At 100 pages per minute, it is built for individuals or clients whose production runs at full capacity and for whom every machine stop has a price tag. Its philosophy: built-in automation and intelligent workflows reduce operator touchpoints, so a smaller team can handle more work with production kept in sync with the next steps.

Like its smaller sibling the PX300, it maintains rated speed on all stocks, up to 400 gsm: business cards, envelopes, labels, tab inserts, embossed papers, synthetic media and custom solutions run without slowing down, mixed-media jobs included. The optional fifth colour station extends the palette with specialty Beyond CMYK inks to unlock premium applications, and closed-loop colour density and registration control keeps image quality constant over long runs. Control rests on dedicated Fiery print servers (Xerox EX-P PX500 or EX PX500), and inline finishing — booklet making, cutting, slitting and folding, folder unit, hole punching, binding — delivers finished documents straight off the machine.

Compared with the Proficio PX300, the range’s entry point, stocks (400 gsm at rated speed), Beyond CMYK inks and finishing are identical — it is the scale that changes: 100 ppm versus 85, a recommended volume of 350,000 pages per month versus 150,000, a ceiling of 1,800,000 pages versus 750,000. One functional difference deserves attention: the PX300 includes copying and scanning as standard, while the PX500 is a pure printing press, driven by workflows with its built-in automation. If your shop still needs a copy station and is entering production, the PX300 is the right entry point; if printing is your daily production line, the PX500 is sized for it.
