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

Choosing the Right Model: Speed Matters More Than Features

All six models share the same platform. The key difference is throughput.

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.
