Print 01 The Future Takes Shape In Chicago

The big challenger to NexPress is the upcoming Xerox iGen3, formerly called FutureColor. The press, which won't be available until late 2002, has a straight paper-handling design engineered to recognize and print on different sizes and types of paper within the same print run. Xerox says the iGen3 is a step up in performance from the NexPress 2100, which, it contends, is more comparable to its DocuColor 2000 Series. At 28 feet in length, it has a paper capacity of 10,000 sheets. It can produce volumes of more than one million full color or black-and-white impressions per month, with output designed to have an offset look and feel.
