Xerox Debuts Inkjet System
Xerox unveiled its Production Inkjet System last month. Using proprietary solid ink technology, the new waterless inkjet system reportedly enables vivid image quality on low-cost paper for high-volume jobs. It is available in single- and twin-engine (duplex) configurations. Driving the device are 56 durable piezo-electric, drop-on-demand print heads with more than 49,000 nozzles jetting nearly two billion ink drops per second. Each drop hits the paper with precise pixel placement as the printer produces more than 2,000 color images per minute. The granulated, resin-based ink formulation melts onto the paper and solidifies instantly. The Production Inkjet System can produce nearly 2,200 pages or 500 feet per minute. It continuously monitors every page it produces and self-adjusts if an ink nozzle isn't firing properly.—www.xerox.com/printing
