Xerox returns to mid-volume inkjet market

Technology provider, Xerox, has today announced its new Xerox IJP900 Inkjet Press, which provides a new solution for what it calls the “rapidly expanding” mid-volume inkjet market.

The IJP900 colour cut-sheet press has been designed to meet the demands of modern-day print service providers (PSPs) who are looking to expand into new profitable applications such as transactional printing and direct mail.

According to Xerox, the press integrates with its end-to end production ecosystem, combining Xerox FreeFlow workflow automation, XMPie personalised communications, and AI-assisted workflows.

Xerox says its ecosystem provides accelerated job preparation, automated repetitive tasks, and real-time operational insights, which can help reduce costs and increase output.

Other key highlights include its EX IJP900 Print Server which is powered by Fiery, as well as its high-speed output, which can produce an average monthly volume of 250,000 to 1,000,000 impressions. The press can also handle substrates between 52 to 360gsm, including plain, uncoated, super smooth, inkjet treated media, and oversized sheets up to 48” (single-sheet feed).

Speaking of the release, Terry Antinora, senior vice president and head of product and engineering at Xerox, says: “The mid-volume inkjet market is expanding quickly, creating a clear opportunity for Xerox to re-enter with strength.

“Clients are looking for smarter, more accessible solutions, and the IJP900 delivers by combining robust inkjet technology with our proven strengths in workflow, automation, and service.”

The product release follows Xerox’s purchase of Lexmark which was completed earlier this year. The purchase was done in order for Xerox to expand its global footprint, strengthen its service capabilities, and equip customers with a broader portfolio of workplace technologies.

The new press will make its public debut at PRINTING United in Orlando Florida (Booth 4521) which takes place between October 22^nd and 24^th.
