Delivering on its promise to make production inkjet presses more accessible and affordable for print services providers, Xerox said it recorded strong sales across its production product line at drupa 2016, including the new continuous feed Xerox Trivor 2400 Inkjet Press and cut-sheet Xerox Brenva HD Production Inkjet Press.
Both platforms were introduced at the massive printing industry event in Düsseldorf, Germany, May 31 to June 10, attracting more than 260,000 visitors. The Xerox exhibit themed, “Let the Work Flow,” featured 160 printing applications, including personalized packaging and customized catalog production.
“Our aim was to disrupt inkjet and we saw the results firsthand in the initial customer reactions to the Brenva HD and Trivor 2400 at drupa,” said Robert Stabler, SVP and GM, Global Graphic Communications Business Group, Xerox. “We fully expect many more print service providers to quickly follow the early adopters of DocOne, Hume Media Inc. and others. At drupa, we generated thousands of leads across our production portfolio.”
The Trivor 2400 allows print shops to move into catalogs, magazines and color books, giving customers more flexibility. Sales highlights include:
• DocOne of France purchased two Trivor 2400 Inkjet Presses and one Rialto 900 Inkjet Press and plans to use them to aggregate up to 250 million mail pieces, for nearly one billion digitally printed pages a year.
• First Move Direct Marketing, purchased the first Trivor 2400 in the UK.
• Galahad Management Services, purchased the first Trivor 2400 in The Netherlands.
• INFOX GmbH & Co. of Germany, purchased a Trivor 2400 to capture a new market opportunity in newspapers.
• A print provider in France purchased a Trivor 2400 to grow its transaction and direct mail business.
Brenva HD opens up new possibilities for inkjet entry into the transactional, direct mail and book markets by combining the cost effectiveness of inkjet with the flexibilities of a cut-sheet platform. Sales highlights include:
• Hume Media Inc., one of Canada’s largest full-service digital and print media companies, claimed the first Brenva HD.
• A print provider in Germany has also signed an order for a Brenva HD.
