Xerox has unveiled the iGen5, its latest digital colour cutsheet press that features an expanded colour gamut with an optional fifth colour.

The machine is the first in the iGen range to offer a fifth colour option alongside CMYK. The optional fifth colours are orange, green or blue dry ink.

“This dramatically increases our ability to match a variety of Pantone stock colours,” said Xerox iGen marketing manager Paul Miller. “It will also help with brand consistency and minimise impact on productivity for our customers.

“The use of the fifth station helps us to be more brand accurate and helps our customers choose the production method based on the economics of a job. This also expands the benefit of on-demand printing like personalisation and eliminating warehousing.” The iGen5 will also boost press uptime and offer multiple speed choices.

“We launched a digital colour revolution when we introduced the iGen platform in 2002,” said Andrew Copley, president, communications operations, Xerox Technology. “We continue to anticipate change and respond with new ways to convert pages from offset. The iGen 5 is fully customizable to meet page volume, application type and colour needs – all while delivering market-leading press uptime.”

The optional fifth colour unit increases the ability to match a larger gamut of Pantone® colours or unknown spot colours without hindering productivity. Orange, green or blue options supplement CMYK and can accurately hit distinctive brand colours without moving short runs to offset.

According to InfoTrends1, the high-end digital production colour market will expand from its current 60 billion pages to 87 billion pages globally by 2018, offering a significant growth opportunity for print service providers.
