New Printer Rounds Out Scitex’ Comprehensive
Offering Of Wide Format Digital Printers

BEDFORD, MA -- August 6, 1999 --Scitex Corporation Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCIXF) today announced the Scitex Grandjet V2(tm) super-wide format digital printer. The Scitex Grandjet V2 digital printer provides a highly cost-effective, versatile system for printing high quality super-wide format color jobs, yet requires a relatively small floor space. A new addition to the range of wide format products already offered by Scitex, the Scitex Grandjet V2 printer offers new and veteran digital printers a cost-effective way to tap into the lucrative wide format digital printing market.

Printing at widths of up to 87" (2.2m), the Scitex Grandjet V2 printing system offers the same rich features and versatility provided by its wider format siblings, the Scitex Grandjet V5(tm) and Scitex Grandjet V3(tm) printers. With a footprint of just 1 x 148 " x 40" (2 x 3.75m x 1m ), the Scitex Grandjet V2 is a state-of-the-art, drop-on-demand piezo electric system, compact in size yet grand on output.

"Once again Scitex is demonstrating its expertise in tailoring products to the varying needs and budgets of our customers," said Dov Ofer, VP Sales, Marketing and Business Development of the Scitex Wide Format Printing Division. "Printers looking to expand into the digital printing arena, and experienced digital printers who want to grow their wide format business will find the Scitex Grandjet V2 perfect for their needs."

Scitex has already established itself as a leader in the wide format printing business with its Scitex Grandjet V5 and V3 systems, the Idanit 162AD(tm) wide format printer and the new Scitex Pressjet(tm) wide and super-wide format printers. With the addition of the Scitex Grandjet V2 printer to its line of wide format digital presses, Scitex offers the most comprehensive range of wide format printing solutions available.

The Scitex Grandjet V2 super-wide format digital printer can print at resolutions of up to 370dpi. It prints on a wide variety of substrates, including the more demanding ones such as textile, at speeds of up to 555 sq. f/hr (52 sq. m/hr) in fast mode and 278sq. f/hr (26 sq. m/hr) in quality mode.

The Scitex Grandjet V2 printing system includes user-friendly software running on Microsoft Windows NT4 platform. Moreover, it features Scitex's leading ICC color management software which produces consistent color prints on almost every type of media.

The Grandjet V2 wide format press will be available for shipment by the end of this year.
