The trifecta of inkjet smarts, savings and sustainability brings total cost of ownership to a new low — that includes environmental, operational and staff costs. The Baltoro automatically optimizes and maintains color and image quality without the need to condition media with priming solutions or precoats. This reduces footprint, power consumption, consumables, maintenance and width. The scalability of the Baltoro also sets it apart from any other inkjet press in its class — upgrading is as simple as adding the Color Accelerator to any new or existing Baltoro. And because it’s

a third smaller and half the weight of the competition, floor reinforcement is unnecessary.

We’ve evolved our continuous image process controls with the AI Update 1, the first official update release for Baltoro AI. It expands on Baltoro’s continuous image processing controls in a number of new ways, allowing you to fine-tune runtime image quality with speed and consistency. It’s powered by a Full Width Array to make real-time page adjustments with True Dot precision drop placement, Advanced Missing Jet Detection and Compensation, performance-tuned waveforms, Runtime Density Optimization, anti-aliasing and automated Image on Paper (IOP) controls for your smartest and sharpest prints ever. All of which come standard with the Baltoro HF, and if you have an existing Baltoro, we’ll upgrade you. Either way, it’s the quickest path to profitability.

With the optional Color Accelerator module, you can get stunning image quality on an ever-expanding range of the most popular, in-demand media, including glosses,

silks, satins, mattes and dulls. For a new universe of applications and opportunities — from direct mail postcards to catalogs and much, much more.

More Print, More Profit With “Inkonomics” Multiplied

The Xerox® Baltoro™ HF Inkjet Press unlocks game-changing results with a powerful combination of proven heritage design and new technology innovations. An all-new High Fusion Print Engine, Automated Intelligence, expanded finishing options and easy self-service are just part of a dynamic technology powerhouse that will drive new inkjet applications and opportunities.

A business-driving balance of quality, productivity and cost starts with the High Fusion Print Engine — our innovative combination of advanced technology and intelligent software. It’s simple math that equals considerable savings in more ways than one.

Missing Jet Detection and Compensation on Baltoro is the most accurate in its class. New RGB sensor technology enables fast, precise and frequent scanning — one diagnostic page every 150 impressions.

If the integrated Full Width Array detects a discrepancy that indicates a missing jet, surrounding jets are automatically adjusted to compensate.

Let’s to take inkjet to the next level.

With the perfect balance of value, volume and velocity, Baltoro can get you there, with more impact, less ink, less waste and less effort. Whatever the future holds, this press will help you

make it yours.

In addition, Intelli-Purge, an update to Clear Pixel Plus, adds runtime micro-purging capability to clear jets during production runs. Not only does this increase uptime and maintain high image quality, but it also leads to cost savings — Intelli-Purge uses up to 50% less ink than a standard

purge cycle.

Enjoy ultra-smooth gradients and superfine lines with Multi-Level Halftoning Emulation. Combined with an incredibly small 4.5 pL drop size and 1200x1200 dpi resolution, this feature, along with True Dot technology, allows you to be more strategic and precise about drop placement, while effectively emulating multiple drop sizes. So you have the flexibility to create custom drop profiles that either save on ink or maximize vibrancy.

Say goodbye to manual color adjustment. Uniformity and Density Optimization provides one streamlined correction for discrepancies between jets — regardless of paper type or drop selection.

Getting started with Xerox® Baltoro HF is easier than you think.

Best-in-class automation on and off the press plus advanced color controls give it the fastest onboarding and migration in the industry. Whether you’re onboarding from litho, toner or even competitive inkjet technologies, you’ll enjoy incredible productivity from day one. Learn more at www.xerox.com/BaltoroHF.

Finally, ink limits can work with your design instead of against it. When the ink level of a design exceeds your preset limits, ObjectLevel Ink Limiting dynamically recalculates those levels to enhance sharpness, smoothness, shade, hue and color.
