Seven ways to win with Soar’s new iGEN printing

We love getting a new piece of kit, especially when it produces major cost and time-saving benefits for our clients. The Xerox iGen 150 Press that arrived at Soar a couple of months ago is a perfect example of how new technology is changing the way we do print. 

Recently we printed a direct mailer for Hospice North Shore using the iGen. In a single press pass we created an A4 4-page brochure, neatly folded including a personalised 2-page letter inside. All components were printed on a single sheet, then automated trimming and folding did the rest. We saved Hospice North shore about 25% printing the job this way.

Here’s how the iGen could change your print life:

  1. It can handle a big sheet of paper – up to 364mm x 660mm, so we can print several pages on a single press pass, then trim them as required. Fewer press passes results in lower costs.
  2. Because it’s a digital press, the iGen can personalise every sheet using data from an Excel spreadsheet.
  3. The colour quality iGen produces rivals offset, because automatic adjustments are made during the printing process to ensure colour consistency.
  4. Matte dry ink provides an appearance that is almost identical to offset on coated stocks, so your print job will look more expensive than it actually was.
  5. iGen 150 uses a new imaging system to deliver more information per square inch. That means improved detail and better sharpness.
  6. Quick setup and no drying time reduce the hours spent on your print job, so you can expect a smaller price. iGen’s economy makes small runs of brochures and booklets more affordable.
  7. iGen is incredibly versatile. It can produce everything from simple posters or double-sided flyers to folded and stapled multi-page brochures.
