Continuous-Feed Inkjet Paper Options Continue to Ramp Up
Impika Now Part of Xerox
Xerox continues to invest aggressively in the expansion of its inkjet business with the addition of the Impika aqueous technology in 2013 and continued development of the CiPress production inkjet systems. Jason Rider, worldwide manager, CiPress Business, says that "by offering a choice of technologies, Xerox can propose the best solution for customers. The CiPress solid ink platform was designed to deliver excellent image quality on plain paper, but the CiPress Tested Media List also includes coated, light- and heavy-weight paper, and specialty media." Impika's Compact, eVolution and Reference printers are compatible with Impika's High Density (HD) or dye-based ink. Rider adds that "the HD ink set delivers excellent optical density on traditional offset or digital media, as well as enhanced gamut on inkjet papers, and some coated stocks."
