Simon Lane, national business marketing manager at Fuji Xerox Australia says, “Fuji Xerox is continuing to provide innovative solutions to print businesses that will enable them to drive their productivity and grow their applications.
“The new iGen4 150, with a 660cm sheet size and 2400x2400dpi resolution provides the highest quality digital print with tremendous throughput. The inline automated finishing solutions that we are now providing mean printers will have complete production lines. Finishing is a big issue in digital print, and one that Fuji Xerox has addressed, for the benefit of printers, and their customers.”
The company describes its new IntegratedPlus finishing solution for booklets as an automated finishing solution that it says offers the industry’s first off-line automation by combining the efficiency of in-line with the flexibility of off-line into one device.
Its new Freedom to Print is an automated programme that establishes a common workflow to send jobs to various devices in a print shop.
The company announced that the CP Bourg BDFEx Finisher and BCMEx Bleed Crease Module are the first JDF-enabled production finishing products validated by Xerox to operate in-line with the popular Color 800/1000. Both JDF-enabled Bourg E-series finishers were shown operating with the Xerox Color 800/1000. CP Bourg says the BDFEx Document Finisher gives Xerox Color 800/1000 users automatic, on-demand stitch-fold-trim finishing of booklets and other documents at rates up to 4200 sets per hour from printed sheets in sizes from 203.2 x 120mm to 520 x 356mm.
The Bourg document finishers are guided by job tickets written in Job Definition Format (JDF), the XML-based file format standard for information exchange in the graphic arts. The JDF job tickets are used to set up all finishing function changeovers automatically for each job, including bleed and trim dimensions, folding crease placement, stitch position, paper dimensions and paper weight.
The optional Bourg BCMEx Bleed Crease Module contributes full-bleed top-and bottom trimming and superior-quality single-pass knife creasing matched to the speeds of Xerox Color 800/1000 Presses, helping to give finished booklets a crisp, three-sided trim. The optional Bourg SQE gives saddle-stitched booklets a squared edge similar in appearance to perfect bound books, to make them lay flat, easy to stack and to allow for printed content on the spine.
