Fox Valley Trades iGen3 for NexPress
“Ricoh was a better fit,” explains Shana Farrell, manager of Printing Services, who says the school liked Ricoh’s approach to document output management.
As part of the contract, her in-plant’s Xerox equipment was also exchanged for Ricoh and Kodak devices. The biggest change was replacing a Xerox iGen3 with a Kodak NexPress SE2500—a big change, but one that brought several advantages, Farrell says. These include Kodak Dimensional Printing, a process that creates a clear “raised” layer on top of a page element, and a NexGlosser near-line glossing unit, which will eliminate the need for most laminating.
