Paper Options for Continuous-feed Inkjet
High gloss remains the boundary for CiPress, as with others, but CiPress produces good results on matte and silk finishes, up to 220 gsm or 9 point.
"Xerox is working on the development of an inline coating solution to enable customers to get a range of gloss using post coating that is still less costly than premium grade inkjet gloss papers," notes Rider. "Significantly, because of waterless inks, CiPress can handle paper as light as 29 gsm with no show-through, even with full-color, high-coverage applications."
