Points of Contention (Océ’s version) * The claim that modular system is unique is not true since in that case the whole system of Croon does not be replaced by XES. * Xerox will probably not produce any new modules since they are in a financial mess. * 400x400 dpi is not as important as H claims. Furthermore are printing on jet-blacks not a common thing at Croons.
Q3. Recommended (by me) configurations + NVP in table below:
Xes
* 5 paper rolls, therefore two extra, to eliminate risks with paper jam and have the machine ready for some night shift working. This will give an additional cost of €3500x2=€7000 * Fix the ventilation system since I know that Croon care about their staff and want to have good marginal
