A review of digital print engine product specification sheets indicates the advances that have been made with paper and specialty materials. Paper weights (coated and uncoated) range from 16 lb. bond to 130 lb. cover. The Kodak NexPress has more than 460 approved substrates, and the Xerox media guide is 35 pages long. HP Indigo requires papers to be Sapphire treated to make the surface receptive to its ElectroInk, but paper companies have responded by introducing carefully formulated uncoated papers to eliminate that onerous requirement. And the Xeikon supports a range of coated and uncoated paper, label stock and synthetic media—even a 16-point board.
