A decision guide for organisations modernising A3 colour print and scan workflows
Most A3 colour MFP purchases don’t fail on print quality. They fail because the device becomes a workflow bottleneck, a security risk, or an underused asset.
The Apeos C7070 / C6570 / C5570 / C4570 / C3570 / C3070 series is Fujifilm’s core office A3 colour platform, designed to support hybrid work, high-speed scanning, cloud integration, and strong security—without moving into full production-print territory.
This guide helps you decide whether this series is the right operational backbone for your organisation.
Who This Apeos Series Is Built For (and Who Should Look Elsewhere)
A strong fit if you:
- Run a small to large office or shared departmental environment
- Print regular A3 and A4 colour documents
- Rely on scanning, document distribution, and digitisation
- Support remote or hybrid work
- Need enterprise-grade security without excessive IT complexity
- Want a well-balanced primary or secondary office MFP
Probably not a good fit if you:
- Print mostly A4 mono
- Have very low monthly volumes
- Don’t use scanning, workflows, or finishing
- Need production-level durability or colour management
This series is designed to be used actively, not to sit idle.
Choosing the Right Model: Speed Matters More Than Features
All six models share the same platform. The key difference is throughput.
| Model |
A4 Speed (Colour / Mono) |
Typical Use Case |
| Apeos C3070 |
30 / 30 ppm |
Small teams, light colour use |
| Apeos C3570 |
35 / 35 ppm |
Growing departments |
| Apeos C4570 |
45 / 45 ppm |
General office sharing |
| Apeos C5570 |
55 / 55 ppm |
Busy departments |
| Apeos C6570 |
65 / 65 ppm |
Large offices, shared hubs |
| Apeos C7070 |
70 / 70 ppm |
Central devices, peak queues |
Decision shortcut: Choose the lowest speed that comfortably clears peak demand. Over-buying speed increases cost without improving outcomes.
Where the Apeos C7070 Series Delivers Real Value
1. Fast Readiness That Reduces Queue Friction
- Warm-up in ≤24 seconds
- Operation panel ready in ≈6 seconds
- First copy out from 3.3 seconds (mono) depending on model
- Clear LED reminders for uncollected documents
2. Scanning That Actually Replaces Manual Work
With the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (C2-PC):
- Up to 270 images per minute duplex scanning
- 250-sheet ADF capacity
- Multi-feed detection to prevent missed pages
- Automatic skew correction, blank-page removal
- OCR to searchable PDF, Word, Excel (optional)
- One-touch ScanAuto and Scan Delivery workflows
3. Cloud & Hybrid Work Built Into the Platform
The Apeos series integrates with Fujifilm cloud services:
- Cloud Service Hub for single sign-on to multiple cloud storage platforms
- Working Folder for document access anywhere
- Cloud On-Demand Print for secure remote printing
- Support for Microsoft Universal Print and Entra ID authentication
For hybrid teams, this reduces dependence on on-prem servers.
4. Media & Finishing That Reduce Outsourcing
Supports:
- Paper weights 52–300 gsm
- Long paper up to 1,200 mm
- Stapling, saddle stitching, hole punching
- Staple-free finishing (up to 10 sheets)
- Z-fold, tri-fold, booklet making
- Maximum paper capacity up to 6,140 sheets
This enables more in-house production of reports, manuals, and marketing materials.
5. Enterprise-Grade Security (Not Optional Anymore)
Security capabilities include:
- Data encryption with TPM 2.0
- SSL/TLS, IPsec, SMBv3, SFTP encryption
- Scan and email encryption / digital signatures
- User authentication (local, IC card, server-based)
- Audit logs and tamper detection
- ISO/IEC 15408 security certification
Sustainability That Stands Up to Scrutiny
- Certified “Green Value Product – Gold Rank”
- LED printhead and Super EA-Eco toner
- Induction-heating fusing for lower energy use
- Sleep power consumption as low as 0.5 W
- Staple-free finishing and paper-reduction features
This supports both ESG goals and operating cost reduction.
