Xanté Showcases its World-Renowned Ilumina Series, New Top Loading Feeders and Free iQueue Intelligent Color Workflow at IPEX
Tuesday 18. May 2010 - New Ilumina TL Digital Envelope Press will be shown
Xanté will be showcasing its best-selling Ilumina series, along with two new top loading feeders, its FREE iQueue Intelligent Color Workflow solution, and more, in booth #09-E333 at IPEX 2010 from May 18-25 in Birmingham, UK.
Xanté recently unveiled the addition of a heavy-duty Ilumina Digital EnvelopePress GT, high-end Ilumina Digital Production Press GT, and entry-level Ilumina GL 330 to its popular Ilumina series, renowned for its remarkable value, robust quality, extensive color capabilities, and easy integration in any configuration.
The new Ilumina models coincide with a new naming scheme for the full range of Ilumina products, with GL signifying appropriateness for mid-volume shops, and GT referring to the more powerful processors and controllers driving higher volume applications with more demanding requirements.
New top loading feeder version & Ilumina TL Digital Envelope Press
Two new top loading feeder versions are being introduced in Xanté booth #09-E333 at IPEX. One version is a stand alone, top loading feeder and conveyor system, which will work on all Ilumina presses and compatible LED printers.
The other version is the Ilumina with top loading feeder, which will consist of the above feeder integrated with the Ilumina press and Xanté’s free iQueue Intelligent Color Workflow.
The new technology offers the same speed as the Ilumina Digital Envelope Press and is available in widths of 7.6 cm minimum up to 30.5 cm maximum; and lengths of12.7cm minimum up to 45.7cm maximum. At this time, these new products are not offered in the North America market.
Xanté CEO Robert Ross says, “We are excited to present all of our newest offerings at this global event, including two new top loading feeder versions and the new Ilumina GT. Attendees will see first-hand exactly what we’ve been up to and how to maximize opportunities and cost-savings with our latest offerings.”
Free iQueue solution for Ilumina users
The iQueue Intelligent Color Workflow was designed to support Xanté Ilumina Digital Color Press users in small to mid-size print shops. The technology allows Ilumina users to take control of their customers’ digital files, manage production schedules and deliver dramatically improved color and print quality.
Several cost-cutting and efficient features of the iQueue Intelligent Color Workflow include spot color matching, unlimited screening control, independent CMYK control, full color management, flexible queue management, archiving, and much better output quality due to special screening technology. iQueue also provides up to 25% savings on toner cost due to the special screening, making it an attractive companion to the Ilumina series.
The Job Ticket Editor gives Ilumina operators the option to select screening types / angles, dot shape, resolution, and brightness for individual jobs; or they can utilize the pre-programmed Scene Mode to quickly apply the desired color / screen angle set, designed to deliver optimum color and image quality for specific job types.
The iQueue Ultimate Workflow is the same as the iQueue Intelligent Color Workflow with added features, such as a cost calculation and a preview screen.
And, from now until June 25, 2010, the iQueue Ultimate Workflow is free with any purchase of an Ilumina High Definition Digital Color Press (a $999 USD value).
Also on display at IPEX is Xanté’sDegrava DP 8500, an affordable and high quality, simple solution for label and tag printing; and thePlateMaker 5,a chemical-free, process-free, total prepress system that images paper proofs, film and polyester plates.
