Drupa--Direct Imaging Takes Center Stage

At Drupa, Heidelberg challenged Xerox again by announcing a 600x600-dpi, 65-ppm scanner that competes directly with the Xerox DigiPath scanner. The Heidelberg Imagedirect 665 Production Scanner integrates with the Heidelberg Digimaster 9110. Undaunted, Xerox boasted to IPG of the 50 new features in its DigiPath 2.0 software and noted that because it has installed more than 20,000 DocuTechs and has a full family of print engines, its systems offer more advantages than Heidelberg's.
