Continuous-feed Inkjet: Paper Plays a Starring 'Roll'
High gloss remains the boundary for CiPress, as with others, but the CiPress produces good results on matte and silk finishes, up to 220 gsm or 9-pt. According to Rider, "Xerox is working on the development of an in-line coating solution to enable customers to get a range of gloss using post coating that is still less costly than premium-grade, inkjet gloss papers. Significantly, because of waterless inks, CiPress can handle paper as light as 29 gsm with no show through, even with full-color, high-coverage applications."
