Some of the key customers who have put this kit into service are Saurabh Printers in New Delhi, Padma Printers and Acme Graphics in Mumbai, Padmasri Digital in Bengaluru, Indu Printers in Kochi, Venkatramana Graphics in Hyderabad and Sood Laminate in Chandigarh among others, informed Pankaj Kalra, associate director of Xerox India.

“The reason why it has gained such popularity,” explained Kalra, “is its Ultra HD printing resolution with 10bit processing that helps customers to achieve natural skin tones and pure neutrals, smooth gradients and tints, with detailed shadows and realistic depth.”

“The Versant 2100 saves time and cost with built-in automation. The Xerox Full Width Array featuring the Automated Color Quality Suite takes time out of set-up and puts it back into production,” said Kalra.

The digital production engine can print up to 100ppm on a variety of stocks and does automatic duplex for stocks up to 350gsm. The duty cycle is quoted as an occasional maximum of 660,000 pages per month, with averages expected to be between 75,000 and 250,000 sheets.

“We believe that the Versant 2100 is well suited for the Indian printers who desire to create high quality collaterals with smooth sweeps and gradients, outstanding shadow detail, and superior halftones,” said Kalra.

The print applications of the Versant 2100 are expected to range from marketing collaterals, education and training material, personalised communications, to niche photo publishing and specialty print products.

“We are extremely bullish about the Versant 2100 and expect to see an exponential rise in the customer base for this already successful product.” concluded Kalra.
