Irvine, Calif. – Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc. (TABS) today announced the addition of the Toshiba e-STUDIO905/1105/1355 series to its award-winning product line-up for busy departmental, centralized reprographic and even light production printing environments. Speed is a key feature of this series with copy and print speeds of 90, 110, and 135 pages-per-minute respectively. Each device also features a color scanner that can handle up to 80 original documents per minute, making it one of the fastest color scanners available on a monochrome device.

While designed to handle some of the highest average monthly volumes in the industry at 120,000, 190,000 and 300,000 respectively, with a maximum of one million monthly page impressions, the Toshiba e-STUDIO905/1105/1355 series is also guaranteed to be first choice when the quality of the output is equally important to the quantity being produced. The new series offers 1,200 x 1,200 dpi resolution and has a broader array of media support and several valuable new finishing features.

"Just like its predecessor, the Toshiba e-STUDIO1355 series can easily and reliably handle the demands of high-volume printing environments," said Joseph Contreras, director, Product and Solutions Marketing, TABS. "What makes this series exciting is the impressive list of new features and options available. The flexibility to handle any type or size job, paired with superior reliability, expands in-house capabilities and ultimately improves the customers' bottom line."

- SK5010 High-Capacity Stacker: Provides a secure exit for up to 5,000 sheets. Users can even install two if the volume demand warrants it. Additional roll-away carts are available to help production remain continuous as the stackers are offloaded. The stacker cabinets also can be locked in the case of sensitive document preparation.
