FULL STORY
For graphic communications firms seeking ways to become more automated, more productive and create pages that are more personal, the Xerox stand at Graph Expo is an essential one-stop shop.
Xerox will showcase an array of high-end digital colour printing technologies, workflow solutions and business development tools that enable print providers to take advantage of opportunities in the rapidly expanding digital production colour market, projected to grow from nearly 460 billion pages today to 725 billion pages globally by 2018.1
‘Print is seeing a renaissance in how consumers respond to the medium and print providers are experiencing a similar resurgence in their productivity, output quality and customisation,’ said Robert Stabler, senior vice president and general manager, Global Graphic Communications Business Group, Xerox. ‘To help them fuel growth, work better and continue to transform their operations, we're providing the latest advancements in digital print technology, application developments and workflow solutions that dramatically boost efficiency.’
Among the products on display in the Xerox stand are three 2015 Must See ‘Ems winners - all being shown for the first time on U.S. soil. The Xerox iGen 5 Pressand Xerox Rialto 900 Inkjet Press took home pre-show honours in the Pressroom: Digital Press category, while Xerox FreeFlow Core Cloud won in the Prepress and Premedia category.
The iGen 5 combines the industry's most productive, profitable digital production platform with a fifth colour option, multiple speed choices and market-leading press uptime. The Rialto 900 is the world's smallest, fully integrated narrow web inkjet solution.
‘New opportunities are the theme for these recent Xerox announcements,’ said Jim Hamilton, group director, InfoTrends. ‘The fifth station on the iGen 5 has immediate application for reproducing corporate brand colours more accurately, but it also leaves you anticipating what other colours or special effects Xerox may have in mind in the future. Rialto speaks to the inkjet opportunity and how users can take advantage of its speed and small footprint in environments that haven't yet been able to reap the benefits of this technology's high productivity and cost-effectiveness.’
The new FreeFlow Core Cloud solution makes automation easier than ever before. No hardware to install or maintain and no in-house IT support is needed. FreeFlow Core Cloud removes the obstacles to automation so customers can increase their productivity. Additional new cloud-enabled solutions that will also be on display include Xerox FreeFlow Digital Publisher Cloud Configuration and XMPieStoreFlow Cloud.
Other show features include:
• ProfitAccelerator Business Development Resources - tools designed to help providers build their customer base and fuel business growth.
• XMPie PersonalEffect 8.0 - delivers highly effective, personalized cross-media communications with a new architecture for handling digital media personalisation.
• Conversation stations - talk one-on-one about the latest inkjet technology, packaging solutions and ways to drive new applications revenue.
Xerox is located at stand #613 at Graph Expo 2015, which takes place 13 - 16 September at McCormick Place in Chicago.
