- The most interesting competition in the field of digital printing: Heidelberg for Xerox.
Ipex Exhibition has become the battlefield of the new generation of digital color printing tools fighting, the most striking of which is the contest between NexPress 2100 and IGen3.
Both products are 600dpi devices from two world-class equipment manufacturers Heidelberg and Xerox. Both companies claim that their products can take advantage of digital process streams and value-added services to produce prints that are close to offset quality. At the Ipex exhibition, the public in the printing industry compared the two products in detail for the first time, and this caused widespread concern.
Developing a new market NexPress is a joint venture between Heidelberg and Kodak. This product is mainly for traditional printing companies, but also enters new market areas, such as Kodak's image division customers and internal printing market.
The product first appeared at the Drupa exhibition and was demonstrated at Print 01 in Chicago last September. More than 100 units have been sold so far, of which 5 are in the UK and the regulated price is £325,000.
IGen3 is a highly competitive product from Xerox Corporation. It is the research result of a billion-dollar development plan. It has made new progress in digital printing technology and business and is called the third generation product. The product made its debut at the Print 01 trade show, and not all display products are printed on both sides.
Digital printing companies in the UK are very open. One company that bought equipment at the Ipex exhibition said: "Pushing digital printing is a great risk because it includes not only the printing technology but also the overall service provided."
Mark Clark, Head of the Digital Mass Printing Division at Heidelberg UK, described NexPress as an ideal press for short-run printing, shortened print runs, and variable data production, with higher quality than existing digital print competitions.
At the Ipex exhibition, Heidelberg will exhibit two printing devices and demonstrate their work. Chris Matthews, sales manager for the southern part of the division, said: “These demonstrations are performed in a very small space, and everything can be moved and fixed in place. Feedback from customers shows that these operators The replaceable components (or ORCs) are very useful, so we want to show them well."
Back to basic Xerox, I am confident that Frank Steenburgh, senior vice president of the company responsible for IGen3, said: “We are currently planning to return to the basic industries of Xerox. We are now operating across industries and selling a wide range of products. It's time to focus on a core product."
Xerox stressed that the attitude of supply chain management is very clear. They emphasize information processing methods, preprinting, and then send it to end users. Despite the company's confidence in seeping into the traditional printing industry, the company's variable data printing and distribution is still a very big sales point.
Heidelberg also focused on new markets, but this time it was clearly focused on commercial printing. About 75% of customers are traditional printing institutions that have entered the field of digital printing and are constantly upgrading.
Easy to Operate Recently, Em-Eness, located in the East End of London, installed a NexPress to test how a company without a digital concept manages digital printing. Although Em-eness said that the device was found to be very easy to use, the company set up a separate department operation because they found the technology and customer base of the device very difficult.
In addition, Printflow, London, Butler & Tanner, Radstock and IGW Uniskill, Oxford, and Heidelberg's recently established first on-demand printing center installed the equipment. The four London Prontaprint exits have installed Digital Print Solutions in Putney and sell digital printing and personalization services via ISDN and ADSL connections.
John Andrews, managing director of Prontaprint Sao Paulo, said: “I am very satisfied with the quality of its printing and the potential cost of ORC and operation is also very good. Although Heidelberg did not finalize the price of consumables, I believe it is acceptable. ."
NexPress's printing module was assembled at Kodak's Rochester, New York factory and shipped to Heidelberg's prepress facility in the northern German city of Kiel. NexPress also uses the company's patented DryInk produced at former Kodak manufacturing facilities in Rochester and Merseyside.
NexPress's production capacity is 2,100 A3 pages per hour or 2,100 double-sided A4 pages. These products are packed and stored in an offset stacker for loading into post-press processing units. There are multiple bins where you can store the text and cover sheets separately.
According to Mr. Matthews’ estimate, the productivity of the device is approximately 250,000 to 500,000 printed sheets per month, of which more than 100,000 sheets are cost-effective. Heidelberg believes that the cost per leaf of each page relies on changing data, but the key is to maintain a high uptime.
Outstanding and outstanding products Xerox insists on producing 1 million per month for five cents per page, and promises to be "outstanding" by Professor Frank Romano of the Rochester Institute of Technology.
IGen3 originated from the Futurecolor project that the company launched nine years ago. Chief Executive Officer Anne Mulcahy said: "The product is highly competitive. It is the fastest, highest-quality, single-sheet paper-fed color press using electrophotographic technology."
Xerox Corporation has a patented technology for producing images on a substrate by coating dried inks. Images are applied to paper using a combination of electrostatic charge, sound wave and pressure. Xerox believes that this technology will provide unprecedented speed, color registration accuracy and high flexibility.
According to Xerox, the breakthrough in this technology is the use of ultra-small toner particles, Emulsification Aggregation and image transfer technology. The toners are 5 microns or more in size and are chemically grown in controlled shapes. This method ensures that the color coating is thinner, the single-sheet printing material is smoother, and if certain transparent offset materials are used, it is ensured that the color coating remains visible on the back of the material.
At the same time, less toner also means less energy in the emulsification process and less damage to the paper. Printed paper can be shipped to memory for offline finishing or shipping to online systems.
Heidelberg has a device that uses electrophotographic technology, using DryInk and LED lasers, and can replicate the ink flow of a conventional lithographic press. The device does not require spray dry powder or additional drying process, so there is no electrostatic problem and the problem of cracking and soiling is greatly reduced.
Since the image is transferred to the paper by a blanket cylinder, various textures and heavy paper materials can be printed. As with offset printing, a blanket is wrapped around the drum to achieve better registration and extend the life of the imaging drum. The substrate used is 80-300 gsm.
IGen3 can choose from two front-end devices: Xerox's DocuSP for DocuTech or Creo Spire now installed on DC2000 digital color printers.
Fred Debolt, strategy manager for the IGen3 business, said that both front-end devices can drive the press continuously at full speed, but customers will have to purchase new hardware. This means that the workflow is exactly the same. EfI is also an option, but no company has adopted it yet.
There are three scalable front-end device configurations on the NexPress device, each based on Adobe's Extreme Level 3 Postscript Rip. These configurations can handle everything from short runs, short print cycle jobs to simple variable data printing and 100% variable data printing, all with the fastest press runs.
According to Heidelberg, NexPress can match the speed of 1 million pages per month, and with more than 40 ORCs, press operators can complete management operations in minutes without requiring engineers to process or use special tool.
According to Xerox, IGen3 has been equipped with a continuously operating device that allows users to handle all aspects of the service.
The judging personnel still have not intervened the judging personnel and still have not determined whether these equipments can compete with offset printing. The competitiveness of long-run offset presses and press-only sheet-fed offset presses is hard to beat, and the key is in extra services.
The company Heidelberg, Heidelberg, said that the NexPress launched at the Ipex exhibition is a key launch product. As early as at Drupa, the company had launched an earlier version that reflected well in customers and was widely welcomed. Since then, our customers have often given us feedback on how the device works based on the principle of offset printing and how much they like the reliability of the device, and the service life of ORC components has exceeded the upper limit. He also said that NexPress's design allows a printing company to achieve the highest benefits.
For example, if you are operating a job that requires 100% coverage, the imaging cylinder, blanket cylinder, and gluing mechanism must all be top-notch products, otherwise you will encounter problems such as binding.
And if you are running a job with only 15% coverage, you need to run them offline again. Users need a learning process that controls costs.
Heidelberg's NexPress equipment is very adaptable to the environment. Mr. Matthews said: "Although this is a larger press, it does not require a control environment with all configurations. You can be in the printing room next to the Speedmaster press, or at a company's printing point. It can be used."
Xerox Corporation Xerox does not have customer feedback, but there are many detailed information on the booth at Ipex.
Spokesman Fred DeBolt said: "We are in the early stages of beta testing. As we continue to deepen Q2, we will further expand the product. We will consider the issue of shipment in the second half of this year."
Although Xerox is very stable on the price of five cents per page, it is still discussing details such as price and cost. Mr. DeBolt said: “The current job is to determine the post-sales strategy and consider how a printing company will pay. This includes coverage and size. At this point we have not made any progress. We must provide economic practicality and Reliability. The cost is a bit ambiguous. We want to control it throughout the normal operating hours.â€
The quality of approaching plain printing is what Xerox has always insisted on. “We are convinced about this, but we still have to be careful. If the product has a thorough lithographic appearance under the test conditions, we have 30 industry ratings executives from RR Donnelley who also believe that it is OK. You have achieved this.' But if you compare these products with high-fidelity products, it may not be completely matched." DeBolt further said, "We believe that IGen3 can provide a competitive advantage."
"This product is significantly different from Heidelberg's product, but we also see trends in short runs, short runs, and variable data printing."
