[Inset location, date] – Delivering on its promise to make production inkjet presses more accessible and affordable for print services providers, Xerox today 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, senior vice president and general manager, 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.” Please do not change quote!
