PRINT 09: Fast Presses, Slow Show - Page 9 of 32

By Erik Cagle , Mark Michelson and Bob Neubauer

For in-plants who think the iGen4 is just too slow, Xerox offered the iGen4 220 Perfecting Press, which melded two Xerox iGen4 110s. By running them in tandem, the system can print 220 ipm and approach a monthly print volume of up to seven million impressions.

The centerpiece of Océ's booth was the new VarioPrint 6320 Ultra perfecting system, based on Océ Gemini Instant Duplex Technology. At 306 letter-size ppm, Océ contends this system is the world's fastest digital duplex printer. It is targeted at digital book printing operations, where it can produce 2,950 book blocks (6x9˝) in a three-shift operation. New Océ ScreenPoint technology provides intelligent screening and tunable print quality. The Ultra line also includes the VarioPrint 6250 Ultra, 6200 Ultra and the 6160 Ultra systems.
