Increase your uptime and
reduce your costs with
intelligent automation.
Print head maintenance is automated to
save your operators time and labor. It also
extends print head life and increases your
productivity and uptime.
• Automated print head cleaning. The
cleaning process is robotically controlled
and completed in minutes; there is no
need for operator intervention. The system
monitors and automatically detects
which print heads require cleaning and
determines when cleaning is needed.
The amount of waterless ink purged in
cleaning is minimal, reducing the amount
of wasted ink and paper you discard.
And because the ink is safe and non-toxic,
it does not require licensed waste removal.*
• Automated missing jet detection and
correction. The Xerox
®
CiPress
®
Production
Inkjet Systems’ Intelligent Scan Bar
detects missing jets and automatically
compensates with adjacent jets—on the
fly, in real time and at full machine speed—
to ensure that your print quality remains
consistent. The scan bar (which is also used
in our Xerox
®
iGen4
®
Press technology)
is so sensitive it can detect and correct a
single malfunctioning jet in many cases
before the human eye can see it. With
the Xerox
®
CiPress
®
printer you can rely
on our automated closed loop detection
and correction system for print head
performance and reliability. Your operator
can monitor all of this activity on the
Graphical User Interface.
More uptime = more productivity.
You’ll find productivity is engineered into every
area of the Xerox
®
CiPress
®
Production Inkjet
System. We have automated many processes
to minimize operator intervention, saving time
and money. The result is a system that offers
you more uptime and more opportunity to
generate more output each shift.
Productivity features include:
• Speeds at 500 feet (152 meters) or
325 feet (100 meters) per minute
• Wide web width, 9" (229 mm) to
20.5" (520 mm)
• Closed loop monitoring
• Intelligent Scan Bar
• Automated print head maintenance,
including robotically controlled print
head cleaning
• Quick setup
• Automatic head registration and alignment
• Missing jet detection and auto
correction on the fly
• Modular manufacturing for installation
and easier, more efficient servicing
• Ink optimization to manage quality and
cost at the printer saves time and money
• No profiling of papers required
* Please consult your state and local requirements for
proper disposal.
Key Attributes of Our
Patented Print Heads
• Modular 3" patented design
• Onboard intelligence with
values stored in non-volatile
memory (NVM)
• Multiple overlapping arrays up to
20.5" (520 mm) web width
• Fourteen print heads per color
• Precise thermal control
• Individual management of all jets
• Acoustic and fluidic process controls
• Auto registration adjusts the print
head positioning for color-to-color
and front-to-back registration
automatically, on the fly in real time
• Easy print head replacement. While our
intelligent piezo print heads are a durable
long-life component of the system, when
they eventually do require replacement,
an operator can pause the production run
and replace the print head quickly and
easily. Print heads are a consumable item
so you always have spares on hand.
