At drupa, the world's premier printing show, Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) is advancing its leadership in the production printing industry, demonstrating the broadest portfolio of digital offerings available today - leveraging its heritage of innovation and showcasing the next wave of market-changing technology. 

 

"By continuing to focus on xerography breakthroughs and scaling our proprietary inkjet technology, Xerox's advantage to this marketplace is in how we help customers adopt the right technologies, workflow and services to build profitable businesses right now and far into the future," said Anne Mulcahy, Xerox chairman and chief executive officer.   

 

The right technology, right now

 

Xerox today unveiled the Xerox iGen4™ Press, the most productive and highest-quality cut-sheet digital press in the printing industry. The iGen4 increases productivity by 25 to 35 percent by automating operator tasks, reducing the need to interrupt the press for adjustments and decreasing overall operating costs.  As a result, the iGen4 improves the break-even point between digital and traditional offset printing - making it faster and more economical to run more print jobs on digital.   

 

Operating at 110 pages per minute, the iGen4 creates offset and photo-quality images with consistent color from the first print to the last.  It is the ideal press for producing high-end collateral, direct marketing and photo specialty products - the type of print jobs that typically generate the most profits for print providers.  

 

Xerox also recently launched the Automated Color Quality Suite Press Matching System, for new and existing users of the Xerox iGen3® 90 and 110 Digital Production Presses, offering high performance plus quality that matches offset printing.  These enhancements enable faster press set up, quicker time to production, greater color stability and automated Pantone color matching and are a perfect match for printing profitable full-color applications that range from personalized direct mail and catalogs to marketing collaterals and photo books.

 

The company also introduced an integrated in-line digital packaging solution for the pharmaceutical industry that can produce customized, variable data on each package cost effectively, without having to stop production and manage offline equipment. Jointly developed with Stora Enso, the solution is powered by the Xerox iGen3 110 Digital Production Press and consists of an Epic CTi-635 varnishing unit with both aqueous and UV-coating options from Xerox, a KAMA die cutter with 580 x 400mm sheet size and a stacker-conveyer unit from Stora Enso.
