On the Reprographics 101 Blog on May 28th
and June 10th, we posted two notes about Fuji Xerox’s release of the
new “Docuwide C842” Wide-Format Color Inkjet Printer, and in the note we posted
on June 10th, we said this:
“…… to go
a bit further, on March 1, 2011, Reprographics 101 broke the news that Xerox
(USA) was exiting the wide-format imaging equipment business in the United
States.” With the launch of this new, incredibly fast printer, is there the chance
that Xerox in the U.S. will resume offering wide-format equipment in the United
States? If not, then how will Reprographers in the U.S. be able to
acquire this new Fuji Xerox wide-format printer?”
Well, we now have an answer to that question;
yes, Xerox U.S. has re-entered the wide-format equipment marketplace.
Comment about the new Xerox IJP 2000 found,
two days ago, on the web-site of wirthconsulting.org …..
“Xerox is
introducing the Wide Format IJP 2000, which it says gives print providers
the extra speed needed to produce more jobs faster. The Wide Format IJP
incorporates five color inkjet print heads, and appears to be sourced from Memjet.”
And, here’s Xerox U.S.’ Press Release about
this new wide-format printer:
Jun 24, 2013
ROCHESTER,
N.Y. —
With the growing demand for large indoor posters, signs,
point-of-purchase graphics and banners, Xerox’s (NYSE: XRX) new Wide
Format IJP 2000 gives printers the extra speed needed to produce
more jobs faster.
Increased speed means
printers can accept and produce more wide format jobs, even last minute
requests.
InfoTrends expects the retail value of wide format printing in
North America to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 7.9 percent,
reaching $23.6 billion by 2016.1
“The IJP 2000 breaks
the mold in terms of speed and brings a huge competitive advantage to our
customers,” said Dustin Graupman, vice president, Inkjet Business, Xerox. “Part
of the challenge of wide format jobs is they can create a significant speed
bump in the work process – and profitability. That’s why we’ve designed an
uninterrupted operation right into the printer.”
Key features of the
IJP 2000 single pass device include:
•
Faster print speeds: complete jobs more than 40 times faster than comparable
wide format systems (up to 4,520 square feet/420 square meters per hour). That
means high-quality, color signs can be printed in five seconds, 30 foot banners
in one minute and production runs of 200 prints in about 20 minutes.
•
Stationary print
heads: allow the paper to move under five
print heads in one single pass; fewer moving parts mean better speed and less
maintenance.
•
High vibrancy with
instantly dry ink: produce a variety of
full-color products – from tradeshow banners and presentation graphics to
life-size photos and promotional displays – with crisp, precise imagery.
•
Expansive specialty
media range: allow printers to
offer customers more choices in wide format applications, with media such as
banner fabric, photo gloss, satin and backlit/stoplight films.
•
Industry-leading wide
format workflow software: the Caldera
GrandRIP+ keeps the device running at full-rated speed while processing jobs.
The software is easy to use, even for new operators, and includes spot color
matching for a uniform look across different jobs and media.
•
Personalized software (optional): produce personalized materials quickly and
efficiently with Xerox FreeFlow® VI Design Express
software. This Adobe InDesign plug-in simplifies the design and creation of
variable signs; includes templates and step-by-step instructions.
The IJP 2000 will be
on display at FESPA, June 25-29 in London, Xerox Stand Q39N and at PRINT 13,
Sept. 8-12 in Chicago.
Availability
Order taking for the
Xerox Wide Format IJP 2000 begins in July.
