Toshiba America Business Solutions
Toshiba America Business Solutions’ e-STUDIO 907/1057/1207 series blends a wide array of speed and performance options to fulfill the document output needs of virtually any organization.
Toshiba e-STUDIO1207
Delivering up to 120 pages per minute, the e-STUDIO1207 completes the most ambitious print and copy jobs in short order. A duplex single pass feeder processes single-sided originals for copying or scanning to file or email at a brisk 120 originals per minute (opm) and double-sided originals at 200 opm. All three models in Toshiba’s light production line couple a 3 ½-minute warmup speed with a first-copy-out time of four seconds or less.
Users should further appreciate the products’ 1,200×1,200 dpi resolution producing consistently crisp images and text. The e-STUDIO1207 series also features genuine Adobe PostScript 3, a critical requirement for the print production world due to its proven consistency between what the document creator sees on their screen and the printed output.
Through its array of advanced finishing choices – from a 100-sheet finisher with 80-page booklet maker and trimmer option to a multi-fold unit and two-tray inserter – the e-STUDIO1207 series is suited for a wide variety of job types. To effectively tackle organizations’ production-level demands, these models also combine a 13,500-sheet maximum paper capacity with a robust maximum monthly duty cycle of one million impressions.
