Bytes Document Solutions will showcase the IJP 2000 wide format printer, at the Africa Print Regional Expo, taking place on 12 February 2014 at Emnotweni Arena in Nelspruit.

Bytes Document Solutions is a platinum sponsor for the 2014 Africa Print Expo.

The expo will be a showcase for the entire digital print process and will feature printing solutions from sheetfed A3 machines up to grand format digital equipment. The event will include both suppliers and manufacturers of commercial and digital printers, finishing equipment, software, media and consumables.

The increased speed of the IJP 2000 means printers can accept and produce more wide-format jobs, even last minute requests. For example, it can print an A0 page in full colour with a resolution of 1 600 x 1 600 dpi in just seven seconds. It will give customers a huge competitive advantage.

The printer, which is driven by Caldera’s Grand RIP Plus, is suitable for a range of substrates such as textile, vinyl, backlit, banner fabric and stoplight films as well as standard and coated papers. It comprises five stationary print heads that use breakthrough technology, enabling printers to achieve results that have been previously unattainable in the market.

The Xerox J75 Colour Press will also be showcased at the event. With the growth of colour pages still a sweet spot for printers, the J75 makes it easier to capture more lucrative jobs, ranging from photo books and brochures to direct-mail pieces and catalogues.

For commercial print shops producing high-volume, high-value applications, the Xerox Colour J75 offers additional productivity, running all paper stocks, including heavyweight up to 300gsm, at full rated speed – 75 pages per minute (ppm).

It can easily match corporate and industry colours with Xerox’s Automated Colour Quality Suite (ACQS). With ACQS’ inline spectrophotometer and colour management tools, accurate, reliable colour can be achieved with minimal operator involvement.
