DIGITAL digest

Timing and logistical issues left Xeikon America with only sample output, pictures and brochures to stand in for the new Xeikon 5000 digital color press. The machine will have its U.S. debut at Graph Expo in the fall, following its introduction at Drupa. The press prints a maximum 20˝ media width at up to 32 fpm, or 7,800 pages per hour, at a 600 dpi resolution. Improved reliability and operational efficiency are said to boost productivity, and an in-line densitometer helps ensure image quality.
