X-Igent Printing: Taking a New Direction

Aside from the Mimaki ink-jet device, the company's pressroom includes a two-color Heidelberg Quickmaster 46-2 offset press and the Quickmaster DI 46-4. In the next several months, X-Igent is also planning to purchase a 40˝ sheetfed press.

One of the biggest challenges the brothers feel the industry faces today is toner-based production. Rodriguez jokes, "If we can just get rid of all the copiers everyone has we would be in a better place." Another challenge is that, with the move to becoming a more environmentally friendly pressroom—by using solventless chemicals—certain tasks that used to take 15 minutes now might take 30 minutes.
