Decision Cheatsheet

Which Press Fits Which Job.

PICK 01

PrimeLink C9070

Light-production color — in-plant, CRDs, short-run marketing collateral. Best "first production press" for a transitioning office print floor.

PICK 02

Versant 280 / 4100

Mid-volume commercial print shop with automation tower — 80-100 ppm, up to 2M pages/month. Fit when consistent color on coated stock is the priority.

PICK 03

Iridesse

Specialty color — metallic, fluorescent, clear varnish. Premium packaging mock-ups, luxury direct mail, photobooks. Six stations, not five.

PICK 04

iGen 5

Production sheet-fed with fifth-station custom Pantone matching. High-impression, long-run photo and package proofing environments.

PICK 05

Baltoro HF

Transactional, statements, direct-mail envelopes. Inkjet economics above 1M pages/month where dry toner TCO no longer competes.
