Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox DocuTech 128 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run an in-plant publishing operation doing 500,000+ B&W pages a month.
  • You produce perfect-bound or saddle-stitched books.
  • You handle tabbed and pre-printed form stocks.
  • You have a dedicated print operator.
  • You drive jobs through VIPP, PostScript, or PCL.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your color jobs go to a separate iGen or DocuColor.
  • It's fine if you skip perfect binding initially.
  • It's fine if your operator has prior DocuTech experience.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need cut-sheet color from this device.
  • Skip this if monthly volume is under 200,000.
  • Skip this if no one on staff has production publishing experience.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox DocuTech 128 is a 128-ppm B&W production publishing system — the original DocuTech-class machine adapted with 'color' branding for jobs involving spot color or scan-to-color-PDF workflows alongside primary B&W production. Monthly duty cycle is in the multiple millions, paper handling supports stocks 60-216 gsm including tabbed and pre-printed forms, and resolution is 600x600 dpi. Inline finishing scales through stacker, perfect binder, and saddle stitch with face trim. The DocuTech controller handles PostScript, PCL, and the proprietary VIPP variable-print language. One regret: despite the 'color' classification in some catalogs, this is fundamentally a B&W publishing system — don't buy it expecting cut-sheet color output, that's the iGen or DocuColor line. The DocuTech controller integrates with Xerox FreeFlow Production Workflow for centralized job management across mixed B&W and color devices in the same in-plant operation. Service contracts on this class of legacy production device commonly run $0.004-$0.008 per impression with minimum monthly volume commitments — confirm parts inclusivity in writing before signing.

FAQ

Xerox DocuTech 128, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Xerox DocuTech 128 ships with a starter black toner cartridge (Xerox 006R00206) yielding approximately 22,000 pages. Replacement black toner is available in a 3-pack (220,000 pages total) or individual cartridges. For Highlight Color System models (128HLC), color toners (e.g., royal blue) are also available with yields up to 301,000 pages per case. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Xerox DocuTech 128 is a monochrome production printer (128 ppm) designed for high-volume B&W publishing, while the Xerox Color EC70 is a color MFP (70 ppm color, 75 ppm B&W) built for mixed color workflows. The DocuTech 128 supports heavier stocks (60-216 gsm) and inline finishing like perfect binding, whereas the EC70 handles lighter stocks (60-300 gsm) and includes scanning (200 ipm) and optional specialty toners (gold, silver). For small offices needing color, the EC70 is more versatile, while the DocuTech 128 excels in large-scale B&W production.
The Xerox DocuTech 128 is a high-volume production printer (128 ppm) designed for large-scale B&W publishing, with a monthly duty cycle in the millions. Its robust features (inline finishing, heavy stock support) and service contracts (often requiring minimum volume commitments) make it overkill for most small businesses. For smaller offices, consider a more compact, cost-effective option like the Xerox Color EC70.
No, the Xerox DocuTech 128 is a monochrome-only production printer. While some models (128HLC) support spot color via Highlight Color System toners (e.g., blue, red), it does not produce full-color output. For true color printing, consider alternatives like the Xerox Color EC70, Xerox VersaLink C7000, or Xerox PrimeLink B9065.
