Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox Nuvera 288 EA 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're a book manufacturer or central reprographics group printing 2M+ duplex pages monthly.
  • You need true 288 ipm duplex output, not two 144 ppm machines running in parallel.
  • You have FreeFlow infrastructure, an operator, and 30+ feet of clear floor space.
  • You want EA toner halftones for text-and-photo book interiors.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You run 1.5M to 3M pages monthly and want long-term headroom.
  • You print mostly book blocks where perfecting at engine speed is the value driver.
  • You can absorb the consumables management and PM schedule of a two-engine line.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need color or a multifunction device — this is duplex monochrome printing only.
  • You're under 1M pages a month — a 144 EA gives you the same engine for half the price.
  • You don't have the floor space, the power, or the operator.
  • You print mostly simplex jobs. You're paying for a perfecting capability you won't use.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox Nuvera 288 EA is a perfecting production system — two 144 ppm engines paired so duplex output runs at 288 ipm. That puts it in the same league as inkjet web presses for monochrome book and manual production, but with cut-sheet flexibility. Resolution is 4800 x 600 dpi with a 1200 x 1200 dpi RIP. Recommended monthly volume sits around 3 million pages with a 7.8 million page duty cycle ceiling. Vacuum air shuttle feed handles up to 5,800 sheets per module. Stackers unload while running, which is non-negotiable at this speed. EA toner cartridges yield 200,000 to 210,000 prints. The thing buyers regret: underestimating the floor footprint. Two engines in a perfecting line, plus feeders, plus stackers, plus the FreeFlow Print Server console — you're talking 30+ feet of floor space and a dedicated print room. Walk the floor with a Xerox analyst before you sign. Also: with two engines you have two sets of consumables to track, and downtime on either side stops the perfecting workflow.

FAQ

Xerox Nuvera 288 EA, 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 Nuvera 288 EA ships with a starter toner cartridge that yields approximately 200,000 to 210,000 pages. The replacement toner model is 006R01261, which also provides a high yield of 200,000 to 210,000 pages. The printer uses EA (Emulsion Aggregation) toner technology for high-quality, matte finish prints. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Xerox Nuvera 288 EA is a monochrome production system designed for high-volume printing at 288 ipm (duplex), with a monthly volume of around 3 million pages and a resolution of 4800 x 600 dpi. In contrast, the Xerox Color EC70 Printer is a color laser MFP with a speed of 70 ppm (color) and 75 ppm (black), suitable for monthly volumes of 15,000 to 50,000 pages and a resolution of 2400 x 2400 dpi. The Nuvera 288 EA is ideal for large-scale monochrome production, while the EC70 is better suited for color printing and multifunction tasks. For small offices needing color, the EC70 offers greater versatility.
The Xerox Nuvera 288 EA is designed for high-volume production environments, with a recommended monthly volume of around 3 million pages and a speed of 288 ipm. Its large footprint and high output capacity make it more suitable for commercial print shops rather than small businesses. Small businesses with lower volume needs may find this printer excessive.
No, the Xerox Nuvera 288 EA is a monochrome-only printer designed for high-volume black-and-white production. If you need color printing, consider alternatives like the Xerox Color EC70 Printer, Xerox VersaLink C7000, or Xerox PrimeLink C9065.
