NexPress A Worthy Competitor

In preparation, both companies decided to launch advance campaigns by inviting members of the trade press to Rochester for first-hand product inspections and status updates.

The NexPress 2100 prints 4,200 8-1/2x11˝ four-color, one-sided pages per hour, or 2,100 four-over-four color pages. It can print stocks from 80 to 300 gsm, with the "DryInk" transferred by an intermediate blanket (NexBlanket) that is said to conform to the substrate surface for better image transfer. This offset-press-like design also reportedly extends the life of the imaging cylinder.
