Announcing a New Digital Press at Sentinel

HEMPSTEAD, NEW YORK, March 8, 2011 - During the week of March 14th, we are thrilled to announce the installation a new Xerox Color Press 800. The Color Press is a high volume, high quality print engine that fosters a number of excellent features.

Our machine will have a fifth print station to allow us to print a Clear Dry Ink. This “spot toner” will allow us to create a number of unique effects. Designers now have the opportunity to enhance photos, logos or variable images, create a pearlescent or metallic appearance, apply digital watermarks to add artistic effects or enhance security, and even enhance the print quality of textured stocks. The Clear Dry Ink is presently unique to the Color Press and we look forward to having fun with its uses.

With a resolution of 2400 x 2400 the Color Press gives us the ability to print cleaner gradations, crisper text, and consistent neutrals. With 150 years in the printing industry, we continue to challenge our digital solutions to provide us with higher color fidelity and consistency, and we see that the 800 will answer our challenge.

Another unique attribute of the Color Press is it’s use of “low melt” EA Dry Ink which uses no fuser oil. The result is a smoother lay-down and finish, more representative in offset than the digital world. The ink is grown, and the particle size is so fine that it has flow properties similar to a liquid. The creation of this new ink creates greater consistency, better quality, and more efficient use of toner. EA toner reduces the energy investment per page by 60-70% as compared to conventional toners.

We look forward to showing you the output from our new engine, and know you’ll enjoy the results.
