Anonymous: Setting up substrates is very time consuming and paper wasting. Startup sheets are required on every job, another paper waste.

Wise: After the first couple of years of trying to use our existing house stocks (offset paper) on the iGen, we switched to Xerox paper specifically formulated for use on the iGen. It was more expensive than offset stock, but did indeed run better on the iGen. And we were able to get more impressions off the photo–receptor belt and extended developer life after our switch to Xerox paper stocks.
