ROCHESTER, N.Y. – As print applications continue to gain traction in today’s digital marketing world, graphic communications providers can answer the call with the new Xerox Versant™ 2100 Press. 

The 100 page-per-minute device – versatile for any production environment – combines speed, exclusive image quality and automation features to create colorful personalized communications, collateral, brochures, photo publishing and specialty products. The press offers:  

More performance

Automates color control, creates image-to-media alignment profiles and delivers brand-managed color in less time with less waste with an inline, integrated Full Width Array. 

Maintains tight registration throughout the press from page to page and run to run with Production Accurate Registration technology. 

More image quality

Produces smooth sweeps and gradients, sharp images, graphics and text with the new Ultra HD Resolution – an industry first. Applications are rendered at 1200 x 1200 dpi at up to 10 bits – that’s 300 percent more pixels and color precision rendered than the 600 x 600 dpi standard.

Provides brilliant and vibrant images with low gloss, low melt EA Dry Ink; offers consistent color across multiple printers and sites.

More flexibility 

Offers three controller options – the Xerox EX and EX-P 2100 Print Server, Powered by Fiery, and the Xerox FreeFlow^® Print Server, so users can tailor the press to their production needs.    

Supports an array of substrates including linen, polyester, vinyl magnet and specialty stocks.
