iGen4 in the Sky
Its speed is also much faster: 110 pages per minute, versus 50 ppm on the 5000. And the iGen4 can print on heavier sheets. Because of this, the in-plant has expanded the number of stocks it uses. This has made Daskus long for even more paper drawers than the four that the machine has.
"You can add more; we just don't have the space," he remarks. Limited space also prevented the in-plant from moving most of its bindery equipment there. Much of it resides in another location, down the street. In busy times, Daskus has to make two trips a day—down 10 floors, across Broad Street and up another elevator—to transport printed sheets there for cutting and folding. But dealing with space limitations is all part of being a city in-plant, Gallagher muses.
