Never Say No

A year-long search for the right machine led them to Webster, NY where they saw the Xerox iGen. The machine's 14.33˝x26˝ sheet size was appealing, but the difficulty was that folding cartons required up to 24-point paperboard, a significant barrier for digital presses (thicker stocks are a requirement for their strength and rigidity to hold and protect the contents of a carton). Although this weight was beyond spec for the iGen 4, one Xerox engineer thought he could make it work. The resulting machine was, at the time, the only one of its kind. And as it turned out, it wound up being an early version of what would become the iGen 4 Diamond Edition with thick-stock capability.
