Raise your performance level.
Reduce your costs.
With the Xerox® CiPress® Production Inkjet
Systems, you can achieve outstanding color
results on plain paper that is uncoated and
untreated, including economical offset papers.
Our advanced waterless inks and direct-topaper print process deliver exceptional output
on stocks ranging from lightweight 29 gsm
to 160 gsm. It is ideal for your Transactional,
TransPromo and Direct Mail, Catalogs and
Manuals applications that use untreated plain
paper stocks.
The benefits of plain paper include:
• Use of lower-cost offset stocks
• Easier management of inventory
• Use of lightweight stocks with
higher yields per roll
• No long lead time for special inkjet
treated papers
• Avoid high cost of inkjet treated papers
• No disruption to existing supply chain
With Xerox
continue to use your existing paper stocks—
even your offset litho stocks—to optimize
productivity, improve lead time and obtain
greater cost benefits.
®
CiPress® printers, you can
• Cut application and paper costs. You can
take advantage of lower-cost, lightweight
paper alternatives, such as offset, for many
of your applications and still see great
results with optimum productivity. Our
inks sit on top of the paper much like toner
and litho inks rather than soaking into the
paper’s fibers like current water-based inkjet
technologies. With our patented waterless
inks, we enable high saturation and area
coverage on stocks as light as 29 gsm, with
no show-through or strike-through. As a
result, you can manage your postal rates
more effectively or include more sheets per
envelope for enhanced, more personalized
marketing messaging.
• Eliminate preprinted shells. Lower your
cost of manufacturing by eliminating the
associated supply chain costs of preprinted
shells, such as storage, transportation,
labor, obsolescence and materials
handling. You can print both static and
full color variable data on plain uncoated
paper like bills, statements, invoices and
personalized direct mail.
• Produce more jobs with greater
reliability. Designed for the print and mail
industry as well as publishing markets,
the Xerox
®
CiPress® system delivers more
reliable flat sheet output, improving
post-processing equipment performance,
enabling more efficiency, productivity and
uptime with your finishing, inserting and
mailing equipment. Even with high area
coverage, cockle and curl are significantly
reduced or eliminated because we use
no water in our printing process or inks.
Because we do not soak the paper with
water, we eliminate the problems with water
and paper saturation that can cause severe
cockle and curl in your output.

Our waterless inkjet technology offers
you significant advantages, especially in
contrast to other aqueous inks and their
printing processes that require adding high
amounts of water into the paper.
The benefits of Xerox
• High image quality is assured. The
®
Xerox
CiPress® 500 and 325 Production
Inkjet Systems deliver resolutions in
either 600 x 400 or 600 x 600 dpi with a
®
waterless inks include:
wide color gamut for the most demanding
applications. Precise, well-controlled,
predictable dots hold their shape to produce
sharp edges and excellent bar code readability
with crisp fonts, images and graphics. Our
patented closed loop image processing
ensures you get consistent, predictable results
for every job, roll to roll and month to month,
enhancing your efficiency and ability to meet
your Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
• Ongoing system reliability. Our unique
waterless inks are part of the key to the
®
Xerox
CiPress® printer’s high reliability and
uptime. Our print heads and inks are not
affected by evaporation, the most common
cause for print head clogging and failure.
With our innovative technology, our ink can
remain unused in our print heads for weeks
and the print heads will still fire on demand,
meaning there is no requirement to cap the
print heads or worry about open time. This
also means quick startup, more uptime and
reliability, fewer stoppages and cleaning
cycles and, ultimately, greater production,
less waste and more output per shift.
