Big Show In The Big City

Roll-fed Devices Make Strong Showing

Continuous-feed printers were in evidence all over the On Demand show floor. Xerox introduced a pair of them, the DocuPrint 850 and 425, both of which print 195 feet per minute. Using both pinless and pin-fed paper, they print at 600 dpi.

Another "X" company, Xeikon America, showed its DCP 500 D, featuring One-Pass Duplex printing at 138 ppm. According to the company, now part of Punch International, the OmniVac air treatment system improves the internal cleaning process, while the Q-pack upgrade increases image quality via an encoder and tuning system that corrects web speed deviations. The 20˝-wide press also features the new IntelliStream 3.6 front end, with 30 percent faster processing.
