I revisit the infinite-size variant of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (iDMRG) algorithm for obtaining a fixed-point translationally invariant matrix product wavefunction in the context of one-dimensional quantum systems. A crucial ingredient of this algorithm is an efficient transformation for obtaining the matrix elements of the wavefunction as the lattice size is increased, and I introduce here a versatile transformation that is demonstrated to be much more effective than previous versions. The resulting algorithm has a surprisingly close relationship to Vidal's Time Evolving Block Decimation for infinite systems, but allows much faster convergence. Access to a translationally invariant matrix product state allows the calculation of correlation functions based on the transfer matrix, which directly gives the spectrum of all correlation lengths. I also show some advantages of the Matrix Product Operator (MPO) technique for constructing expectation values of higher moments, such as the exact variance $<(H-E)^2>$.
