18 email: editor@printmonthly.co.uk January / February 2025 - Issue 352 Xerox, a supplier of sheet-fed printing presses and print management software, has announced a new series of digital presses with the tagline: “Everything is Possible”. The new Xerox PrimeLink C9265/ C9275/C9281 printers include advanced features to give printers greater flexibility and customisation, therefore, “adapting to the needs of production and in-house operations” says Xerox. Much like the Xerox Iridesse Production Press, the new presses include a new toner formulation along with a redesigned LED system for ten-bit processing. According to Xerox the devices can also achieve 2400 x 2400 imaging along with smooth colour transitions and speeds of up to 65 to 81 pages per minute. Additionally, the PrimeLink series can process a range of different media sizes from A6 to SRA3 and weights from 52gsm to 400gsm. Media types include envelopes, embossed, linen and textured papers, banners up to 1300mm, synthetics, and labels. Kevin O’Donnell, production marketing manager UK, Ireland, and the Nordics, at Xerox, says: "Our customers are looking for quality, versatility, and affordability in light production printing. These new Xerox presses punch above their weight in features and capabilities. “The new Xerox Primelink C92xx Series has been designed to help them [Xerox customers] cope with a changing market and maximise their return on investment. In today's competitive environment, businesses need comprehensive and sustainable printing solutions, and our new models meet this need." Xerox says the PrimeLink C9200 Series supports the latest Fiery FS600 platform and LLC printer servers and integrates into Xerox’s end-to-end production printing ecosystem.

Fujifilm release four new Revoria presses All four products can handle a wide range of paper weights, from lightweight 52gsm to heavyweight 400gsm International Graphic Supplies (IGS), a Monmouthshire-based machinery supplier, has sold two Titanium cutters to clients Hickling & Squires and Colour Banners. Hickling & Squires, a Nottingham-based wide-format litho printing company, purchased a Titanium 3121 cutting table to complement a Titanium 2516 which was previously purchased from IGS. The 3121 digital cutter is designed for precision cutting of a wide range of substrates including paperboard, cardboard, PVC expansion sheet, thick foam, and acrylics. Colour Banners, a Fleetwood-based wide-format graphics company, was already a user of Titanium cutting technology for several years. The company’s decision to invest in a Titanium 2516 with router was reportedly driven from a need to increase production capacity for clients.
