The new Xerox Versant 180
To achieve higher image quality, greater media latitude and advanced inline finishing capabilities Xerox has launched the Xerox Versant 180, Versant 180 Performance Package and Versant 3100 presses.
The new Versant family of presses offers more performance with increased duty cycles and the ability to print from 80 to 100 pages per minute, on stocks up to 350 gsm. The presses feature registration alignment and production accurate registration technology for image-to-media alignment and density uniformity.
There are more feeding and finishing options with advanced feeding capabilities for longer, uninterrupted print runs with inline finishing options, including the Xerox inserter, Xerox basic punch, the Xerox squarefold trimmer and the Xerox two-sided trimmer.
Ultra HD resolution and 10-bit technology provides high image quality, along with built-in Xerox Confident Colour technology utilising a full width array.
The Versant 180 Performance Package offers Xerox’s Automated Colour Quality Suite with an inline spectrophotometer to provide fully automated colour management.
‘The new Versant family adds enhanced automation features to maximise uptime, reduce waste, deliver faster turnaround times and expand application opportunities,’ said said Ragni Mehta, vice president and general manager, cut sheet business, Xerox.
‘It’s the Swiss army knife of cut-sheet presses,’ said Tim Sellers, general manager of New York printer Printegra, which has been testing a Versant 180 with production ready finishing options for the past several months. ‘Being able to offer full-bleeds and square folds inline is a great advantage. Jobs that had previously touched multiple departments can now be done in one pass,’ he added.
