The iGen 5 XLS enables up to a 35- inch sheet size, prints at rated speed and has production feeding and stacking. With extra-long capabilities, printers can deliver more pieces per sheet, increasing application productivity of the iGen 5 by up to 25 per cent. Print providers can increase the versatility of the iGen 5 by targeting additional applications such as 4-panel brochures, book covers, banners, large-format clings, panoramic artwork and multi-up printing. Printers also now have the option to utilise the iGen 5’s fifth print station to run Fluorescent Yellow Dry Ink in addition to orange, green and blue gamut extension colours as well as white and clear. “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 colour production, cut- sheet press available in the market today,” said Tracey Koziol, Senior Vice President of Global Offerings, Xerox. www.xerox.co.uk Continued...
