US-based Xerox has announced the launch of the next generation of its iGen4 platform – the Xerox iGen4 Diamond Edition, which gives print solutions providers a competitive edge when producing brochures, catalogues, magazines and direct mail pieces.

With the iGen4 Diamond Edition, job setup is easier and production times are faster, a statement from the company said. The newest iGen4 also has precise, repeatable colour image so the first printed piece has the same quality as the last one – a must when matching corporate colours and logos.

Many of the enhancements of the iGen4 Diamond Edition are time saving, automated features found on the Xerox iGen 150 Press, including the 26" stacker and colour maintenance that takes the complexity and manual labour out of analysing colours.

Print solution providers can also use Xerox’s profit accelerator digital business resources, the largest collection of business development tools and services in the industry, to make the most of their technology investment, the statement said.

The iGen4 platform offers a good return on investment, according to SpencerLab Digital Colour Laboratory. In a study conducted by the firm, the Xerox iGen4 achieved the highest machine “availability” of the evaluated commercial presses, outperforming the competition.

Higher machine “availability” means higher performance – more sellable print pieces in the hands of customers and greater income for the digital press owner, it said. – TradeArabia News Service
