Fuji Xerox takes new Xerox iGen4 Press for test drive at PacPrint09

The first public showing of the new Xerox iGen4 Press at PacPrint09 is sure to turn heads.  The Xerox iGen4, the next generation digital press developed and built by Xerox Corporation, will be one of the main attractions on the Fuji Xerox stand during PacPrint09.

Print providers who are looking for new revenue streams will not be disappointed.  Fuji Xerox will demonstrate a variety of applications that can be printed at lightning speeds on the iGen4 – at a quality never seen before.

In addition, for the first time, Fuji Xerox will showcase its end-to-end
automated book printing capabilities by printing finished books on-site in as little as five minutes, using the Xerox iGen4 Press and Bourg Book Factory.

Commercial printers, photo finishers, book printers, direct-mail houses and digital service providers will be able to witness first hand how easy it is to deliver a variety of high quality print jobs using the Xerox iGen4 Press, which is designed to print more than one million impressions per month.

Throughout the show, Fuji Xerox will demonstrate the production of a variety of materials, with minimal operator intervention, including:

* A perfectly bound “A to Z Cocktail Book”  (which visitors can take away)
* Full size wall calendar  (June 2009 - Dec 2010) titled "19 Months in High Speed"
* The “Fuji Xerox Document Supplies 2009 Catalogue”
* Numerous “photo books” showcasing high quality photo reproduction.

“Whether you are a commercial book printer or direct-mail house, we’ll be showcasing how easy and economical it is to produce a range of high-quality applications within just a few minutes of making the decision to print them,” said Simon Lane, National Production Manager, Fuji Xerox.

“Whether the quantity is one book, 100 books or 1000 books, we can automatically pre-flight the file, impose, send it to the Xerox iGen4 and have finished books ready in as little as five minutes.”

By automating operator tasks, the Xerox iGen4 is regarded as the most productive and highest-quality cut-sheet digital colour press in the printing industry. The Xerox iGen4 also features the most advanced colour management capabilities by utilising the ORIS Colour Managed Workflow Solution (CMWS). This matches and verifies colour across multiple print output devices and enables the production of print to international standards such as the new Australian Colour Print Standard and FOGRA.

“Xerox iGen4 is ideal for service providers that demand high image quality and want to increase print revenues by automating manual tasks and increasing overall productivity,” said Lane.
