PRODUCT RANGE / POSITIONING

The Xerox 8142/8160 Wide Format Color Solution Printer is a thermal inkjet
printing system intended for use in a production environment producing
graphical content, including Posters, POP, signage, etc. For short indoor
applications, such as business presentations, dye inks should be used.
Applications requiring longer color stability and exposure outdoors will be
better suited for pigment inks. The 8160/8142 printers support both inks, and
can be converted from one type to the other using an optional switch-over kit.
