Unlocking the Power of PrimeLink
SF: Ethan, what sets the Xerox PrimeLink C9200 apart from other printers in this class?
EH: The PrimeLink C9200 is a no-compromise production printer that combines high-end performance with affordability. Unlike other devices that scale down features for smaller footprints, this printer offers the same print quality and media flexibility as larger digital presses.
It also supports 400gsm media—just like the Iridesse® Press—meaning you can handle a broader range of applications in-house rather than outsourcing. Plus, with 1.3m sheet capability, businesses can produce banners, book covers, and other specialty applications, opening new revenue streams.
SF: Companies are always looking to save money. How does the PrimeLink C9200 help with cost efficiency?
EH: Absolutely! There are three key cost-saving factors:
- Lower Energy Usage – The C9200 consumes up to 20% less power compared to similar models, helping businesses cut operational costs.
- No Costly Electrical Installations – Unlike larger presses that require dedicated power supplies, the C9200 runs on a standard 3-pin plug, eliminating expensive installation costs.
- Reduced Outsourcing – Many businesses send high-GSM or specialty prints to external vendors. With the C9200’s capabilities, you can bring those jobs in-house, reducing third-party costs and increasing profit margins.
SF: That’s a compelling case for savings. But how can the C9200 help businesses make money?
EF: Great question! The PrimeLink C9200 is more than just a printer—it’s a profit-generating tool. With advanced media flexibility and professional-grade finishing options, businesses can expand their service offerings. You can now produce:
- Booklets, brochures, and marketing materials with superior print quality.
- Oversized prints up to 1.3m, ideal for banners, retail signage, and promotional materials.
- Technical stock printing, enabling architects, designers, and engineers to print high-detail plans.
Plus, with Xerox App Services, businesses can diversify their revenue by offering services like document translation, redaction, and conversion to audio or Microsoft Office formats—all directly from the printer!
SF: Many businesses worry about ease of use. How intuitive is the C9200?
EH: Simplicity is at the heart of its design. The C9200 features a 10-inch color touchscreen, making it as easy to operate as a smartphone. The interface is intuitive, guiding users through job setup, media selection, and finishing options. Plus, with automated calibration, users spend less time troubleshooting and more time getting jobs out the door efficiently.
SF: Print quality is crucial. How does the C9200 compare to larger production presses?
EH: The print quality is exceptional.
It uses Xerox HD EA Toner with ultra-low melt technology, producing crisp text, smooth gradients, and vibrant colours. The resolution of 2400 x 2400 dpi matches the quality of much larger digital presses. If you’re used to offset-level print quality, the C9200 delivers comparable results with lower operational costs.
SF: How does the PrimeLink C9200 integrate into existing workflows?
EH: Really well. Integration is seamless.
The C9200 supports a wide range of print management solutions, including Xerox FreeFlow, EFI Fiery, and industry-standard job submission protocols. This means it fits effortlessly into existing production environments, whether you’re in graphic design, marketing, manufacturing, or corporate print rooms.
SF: Security is a major concern for IT teams. How does Xerox ensure data protection?
EH: Security is a top priority for Xerox and for us at Nustream, and the C9200 comes with a comprehensive security suite, including:
- User authentication – Restricts unauthorised access.
- Data encryption – Protects sensitive information in transit.
- Secure print & overwrite – Ensures that confidential jobs are stored and deleted securely.
For businesses handling confidential data, such as legal, financial, or healthcare documents, the C9200 offers enterprise-level protection.
SF: What kind of finishing options are available?
EH: The C9200 is highly versatile when it comes to finishing. Options include:
- Booklet making & folding – Ideal for professional-grade brochures.
- Stapling & hole punching – For office and corporate reports.
- Slitting, cutting, and creasing – Perfect for business cards, postcards, and marketing materials.
These features help businesses produce high-value products in-house, reducing outsourcing costs.
SF: Is it possible to see the C9200 in action before purchasing?
EH: Seeing is believing! We offer two ways to experience the PrimeLink C9200:
- Live Demonstrations – Visit the Xerox European Technology Centre in Uxbridge to see the printer in action.
- Virtual Demos – Can’t travel? We offer personalised virtual demonstrations so you can explore the features remotely.
SF: Final question—what if a company is skeptical about print quality?
EH: We understand that print quality is non-negotiable for many businesses. That’s why we invite companies to send us their print samples. We’ll print them on the PrimeLink C9200 and return them, so they can see firsthand how this printer meets their expectations.
