On February 28, 2001, Xeikon America Inc. (Wood Dale, IL) introduced the DCP 320 Dx digital color press, a 70 ppm version of the 130 ppm DCP 320 D, which was introduced in May 2000. The DCP 320 Dx is designed as an entry-level unit for printers who want to break into the digital color printing market. Indeed, the DCP 320 Dx has a slightly more modest price than the DCP 320ó$249,000 versus $340,000. Those who decide that faster speed is necessary can opt for a software upgrade to the DCP 320 Dx, allowing it to print of 130 ppm. Included with the DCP 320 Dx is Xeikonís new digital front end, the IntelliStream 3.0, a server that supports

full-color variable data printing. The IntelliStream 3.0 server integrates dual 866-MHz Intel Pentium III processors and Adobe PostScript 3 RIP.

Also on February 28, 2001, Xeikon introduced the UCOAT, an in-line UV coating station for its digital color presses. The UCOAT station applies a high-gloss UV finish to digital prints as they come out of a Xeikon digital press, giving them the glossy feel and appearance of traditional photographic prints. Other applications for the UCOAT are book covers, direct mail pieces, packaging, and glossy brochures and posters. The UCOAT UV coating station will be available in September 2001 for $80,000.

On February 12, 2001, Xeikon demonstrated its D2F2 (Dry Digital Foto Finishing) system at the PMA 2001 Imaging Conference and Exhibition (Orlando, FL, February 11 ñ February 14, 2001). The D2F2 combines a Xeikon DCP 320 D digital color press, IntelliStream 3.0 digital front end, and Xeikonís UCOAT in-line UV coating station, and produces up to 8,000 4" by 6" photographic prints per hour. Xeikon expects the growing adoption of digital photography to generate a high volume of photo printing. The company plans to install beta testing units of the D2F2 later this year. Pricing for the D2F2 has not been determined, but it should fall in the neighborhood of $420,000, the cost of the DCP 320 D and UCOAT station.F

On February 15, 2001, Indigo N.V. (Maastricht, The Netherlands) introduced three printers to its Photo-e- Print family, designed for photofinishing applications. All three models, the Photo-e-Print ProLab, the Photo- e-Print MetroLab, and the Photo-e-Print 5K, feature Indigoís pigment-based ElectroInk liquid toner technology, and print at 800- by 2400-dpi resolution.

The Photo-e-Print ProLab will be targeted at professional photo labs. It can print 680 12" by 17" photo prints per hour (equivalent to 5,440 4" by 6" prints), which are then trimmed to the userís specifications. The Photo-e-Print MetroLab is designed for installation at retail outlets. It has the same print speed as the ProLab, but delivers cut, stacked, and collated 4" by 6" prints. For the wholesale and central processing labs, Indigo introduced the Photo-e-Print 5K, which also prints 5,440 4" by 6" prints per hour, collecting them on three separate rollers. Indigo could not provide pricing and expected shipping dates for the Photo-e-Print products.F
