Why Xerox iGen150? 

Xerox Confidential

Rethink Image Quality Right Down to the Smallest Detail With iGen 150, we’ve addressed every aspect of image quality—all the way down to the dot. The iGen 150 uses a new 2400x2400 imaging system with VCSEL technology to deliver more information per square inch. That means improved detail, tighter, more uniform rosettes, and better sharpness. More information per square inch with tighter, more uniform rosettes and better sharpness. In addition to the existing 160/180/250 lines screens, two new line screens have been created/designed for specific applications. For the high end photo market where a “look” is different than the traditional commercial print, a new 210 line screen has been developed to optimize the “softness” in skin November 7, 2014

tones while keeping the detail of hair and background images. For applications with a mix of pictorials and heavy text, a new 180/250 option utilizing a new technology called Object Oriented Half Toning. This option will render pictorials at a 180 lines screen for optimal smoothness and graininess, but for text, will render these elements at a 250 line screen optimized for sharpness. For applications such as brochure, books, and flyers, customers will have an option that delivers quality photos as well as crisp text.

Image on Paper Alignment just got Really Easy With the new iGen 150 Automated Image-on-Paper technology, manual setups are replaced with a predictable, automated routine. iGen 150 uses our auto density controls’ full width sensor array to adjust the placement of the image on each sheet as well as the position of the paper within the paper path. These easy, automated routines mean more work right—right from the start.

• •

Push-button simplicity removes the need for manual adjustment On-board full-width array sensor, used by the Auto Density Control System, automatically adjusts the placement of each image on each sheet as well as the position of the paper in the paper path

More Raw Production Speed With iGen 150, you can run more short run jobs every shift, effectively increasing how much profit you make every hour. A 25% raw speed increase to iGen’s proven productivity allows you to produce more work faster. That means speeds of up to 137 A4/8.5”x11” pages per minute. Even better, our 26” sheets yield an effective A4/8.5”x11” rate of 150 pages per minute. In conjunction with the processing power of a choice of print servers, a streamlined workflow, great first-print-out-color, and the efficiency of a range of inline finishing options, iGen 150 produces more jobs that help you maximize your investment and grow your business faster than ever.
