Domino will launch its first ever press, the N600, a colour digital label press available in four- or five-colour versions. The firm claims that at up to 75m per minute and a standard speed of 50m per minute it can run twice the speed of rival inkjet label machines, yet thanks to the latest greyscale printing technology can deliver impressive 1,200dpi results.

Roland DG
www.rolanddg.co.uk
Stand 12/C140
This will be Roland DG’s first appearance at the Ipex exhibition and it’s starting with an impressive line-up of equipment. Top of its wide-format kit is a choice of two machines that feature its so-far unique metallic inkjet capabilities: the VersaCamm VS-640 and the XC-540MT, which both use eco-solvent inks.

Screen
www.screeneurope.com
Stand 10/C290
Screen boasts that with more than 200 units in use globally, the Truepress Jet520 is the most successful single-pass inkjet colour printer. It’s aiming to keep its lead with two new versions: a higher-quality, albeit lower duty cycle machine, for commercial printers and a monochrome machine, which the firm says provides better quality halftones than toner-based rivals. Screen’s first B2 inkjet press, the Truepress JetSX, will be the biggest draw on the stand. Based on a simple aim – to build a digital version of the most popular format of press in use today, visitors can see for themselves how Screen and Fuji’s interpretations of digital B2 meet their needs, and also mull over whether when moving to digital it is necessary to stick to format and feeding conventions of old, or if continuous-feed or B3 really are better.

Xerox
www.xerox.com
Stand 7/CD450
Xerox will reveal the next stage of its continuous-feed strategy, including its take on inkjet, as it expands on the technology it first discussed at Drupa. With its flash-fused toner technology, the monochrome 650/1300 and the colour 490/980 it already claims a strong market presence. Centre of attention at the show will undoubtedly be the new Xerox Color 800/1000, which will fight for attention with numerous other cutsheet machines on display. For higher-volume applications, the iGen will be there and for other sectors of the market products including the DocuColor 8002/7002 and the 700 will showcase colour capabilities alongside the Nuvera monochrome machines.
