Western Graphics Installs Two Xerox iGen3 Digital Color Presses In Less Than A Year

Less than one year after installing its first Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) iGen3â„¢ 110 Digital Production Press, Western Graphics Inc. recently installed a second digital color press to meet growing customer requirements for short-run, quick-turnaround, high-quality, full-color print jobs. Since the first Xerox iGen3 press installation in April 2005, the full-service commercial printer has experienced record revenue growth and has expanded into new markets such as financial services, manufacturing and retail.

“When deciding where to make our next investment – offset or another digital press – there was no question another iGen3 press was the best bet. That’s where we see the business growing the fastest,” said Tim Keran, president, Western Graphics Inc. “The Xerox iGen3 press expands our digital business and drives sales for all our services, including offset.”

The company currently prints more than 500,000 pages a month on its initial iGen3 press, and, in the next 90 days, it expects to print an additional 500,000 pages a month on the second digital press. Digital print jobs currently account for more than 30 percent of overall printed volume, and Keran expects those numbers to increase.
Western Graphics was impressed by the advanced technology in the iGen3 press as well as its history and success with Xerox black-and-white digital production printers. Keran said the company purchased the iGen3 presses for their superior image quality and ability to print on a variety of sheet sizes and weights.
