Meet the Xerox^® Iridesse^® Colorful Heroes

“Xerox Iridesse Production Press is magic in the world of printing! This machine has opened up new horizons of luxury for us: white toner, the glow of silver and gold, transparent effects – all this creates an amazing symphony of colors that captivates at first glance. Now we offer our customers true art with every printing. The Iridesse is a technological marvel that inspires us to create prints that can truly delight and captivate, everything else is a compromise.”

“Since I already owned two X-1000s and one Iridesse, I decided to add another Iridesse to the fleet at this time due to its quality and ease of printing, in order to maintain the current standard of quality.” Alexandre Crepaldi Business Partner Arte Mídia (Birigui, Brazil)

“TUOVINEN is a family-owned commercial printing company, that prides itself on personal and professional service to its customers. Very high-quality print is made with digital, offset, and wide format technologies.

We wanted to expand our portfolio in high-end premium print, and Iridesse was chosen for its exceptional image quality and unique Beyond CMYK capabilities, especially metallic colors.

We work with number of designers, and the possibilities in gold and silver mixed palettes are very exciting. Adding clear to CMYK designs or mixed metallics brings a new dimension in print that customers also really like.

We were absolutely blown away with the double-white capability. No more greyish white on dark carton, but white that really is White! The six colors inline bring the added benefit of perfect registration, and we no longer need to compromise quality with multiple passes.” Ari-Veikko Tuovinen, Anu Tuovinen, Aki Tuovinen Owners Etusivu - Offsetpaino L. Tuovinen Ky (Kuopio, Finland)

“We are constantly seeking to improve the service we offer our customers, and the need to offer high value-added CMYK+ applications has long since become a concrete requirement.

With the wide variety of print media and the confidence of the experienced service team, we are able to not only meet but exceed the demands our customers place on us. Not least because of this, we have added 3 Iridesse digital printing presses to our fleet of printing systems. With up to 6 color stations and 10 specialty colors, we can inspire demanding customers with new ideas again and again.”

Maik Sätteli Head of Digital Printing Mattenbach AG (Winterthur, Switzerland)
