DIGITAL PRINTING — SUCCESS BY DEVICE

Xerox and Pantone teamed up to go a step further and develop special Digital Chips color books to show how the Pantone Color System can be matched on the family of Xerox digital printing systems.

Toppan Printing Co. America, in Somerset, NJ, had a role in the development of those reference guides. It was part of the company’s efforts to match output from its Xerox iGen3 presses with its sheetfed offset machines. The printer instituted tight production controls in both departments with an eye toward having run lengths alone dictate which process is used.
