Xerox has announced two new optional capabilities for the iGen 5: the extra-long sheet (XLS) and Fluorescent Yellow Dry Ink.
“These enhancements are designed to increase the versatility, productivity, and scalability of our clients’ existing investment in the Xerox iGen 5. Coupled together, they make the iGen 5 the most versatile digital color production, cut-sheet press available in the market today,” said Tracey Koziol, senior vice president of Global Offerings, Xerox.
The iGen 5 XLS enables up to a 35-inch sheet size, prints at rated speed and has production feeding and stacking.
Printers also now have the option to utilize the iGen 5’s fifth print station to run Fluorescent Yellow Dry Ink in addition to orange, green and blue gamut extension colors as well as white and clear.
“The way colors are printed continues to evolve as toner technology becomes increasingly more sophisticated. As a pioneer in toner and color technology, Xerox has spearheaded developing new capabilities that allow printers to push past the boundaries of commodity print, without sacrificing productivity or quality. The Fluorescent Yellow Dry Ink for the iGen 5 is another example of this,” Koziol added.
Expanding the press’ color capabilities enables print providers to offer a distinct selection of spot and flood effects, photo and color enhancements and watermarks. Specially formulated to glow under UV light, this ink also provides optionality for high-value jobs such as Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) caution and safety signage, book covers, dust jackets, folding cartons, direct mailers and collaterals. When running specialty effects, Xerox FreeFlow® Core batches jobs by Specialty Dry Ink, ensuring the flow of work is seamless.
These new enhancements earned Xerox two “˜RED HOT Technology’ awards from the Association for Print Technologies. Collectively, Xerox earned seven awards this year, and Xerox RED HOT technologies will be on display at PRINT 19 at booth #1510 in Chicago from Oct. 3-5.
