The printer uses drop-on-demand six-color printing technology for nearly continuous tone printing and allows for low-cost short print runs. It carries a three-year (unlaminated) outdoor warranty. The XES ColorgrafX X2 ink jet printer from Xerox Engineering Systems delivers extremely fast, high quality prints. It is able to handle high volumes and fulfils the high demands of graphic arts suppliers and corporate in-house print centers.
