Fifth colour option supported by Xerox iGen 5 Press

Source: Fuji Xerox website. The new Xerox iGen 5 Press supports sheets of up to 660 mm (26"), enabling prints of six-panel brochures, gatefold pamphlets and direct mail campaigns. 

Targeting printing companies, service bureaus, data centres and other print service providers, Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific has launched the Xerox iGen 5 Press colour digital on-demand publishing systems – the fastest models among the company’s colour production systems using xerography*.

Xerox iGen 5 Press provides an optional fifth colour in addition to the regular cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) toners. The fifth colour increases the printer's ability to match a larger gamut of Pantone** colours or unknown spot colours without reducing print speed, thereby meeting the needs of customers in the printing industry for accurate colour reproduction while maintaining high printing productivity.

In addition, Xerox iGen 5 Press inherits the proven print features of the iGen series, including the capability of printing 150 sheets per minute (converted to A4 size), when imposed three-up*** on the maximum sheet size***. The models are built on a single platform that can be configured with the exact feeding and finishing options according to a customer’s business needs

The optional fifth colour may be orange, green or blue to supplement CMYK toners, expanding the colour gamut to accurately reproduce distinctive corporate or brand colours previously difficult to achieve in digital printing. Replacement of an optional colour toner can be easily handled by users, allowing them to print small lots on-demand in accurate colours without having to switch to offset printing.

*Also called electrophotography, this is a technique that uses electrostatic charges to print or copy. Laser printers use xerography.
**Pantone Plus

***Three-up refers to printing three copies of a page onto a single sheet of paper which is later cut up into three smaller sheets. Depending on the technology available, the three copies of the page may be identical, or may be different pages.

****Maximum paper size: 364 mm x 660 mm
