Features
The six-colour Iridesse, which is a Fuji Xerox product, is a digital press that going down well with printers due to its ability to produce gold, silver, or white and clear dry ink in one pass.
This allows commercial printers to perform the same tasks at a much-reduced cost, compared to the cost of having to run multiple machine passes and offset processes. This opens up a huge opportunity for the print embellishment market and supports the movement of more pages from offset to digital.
Applications: Direct Mail - Collateral - Photo Publishing
