Well
now!!!  Given this development, the big question, in my mind, is ….
will Xerox in the U.S. get back into the wide-format equipment business?
SAN DIEGO, May 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ —
Memjet, the global leader in color printing technologies that
provide remarkable speeds and affordability, today announced a partnership with

performance and affordability for short-run and variable data color printing to
a variety of markets and applications. The 42″ wide print engine prints at
speeds of 300mm per second at 1600 x 800 dpi or 150mm per second at 1600 x 1600

    Posting a comment I received via e-mail:”Well now!!! Given this development, the big question, in my mind, is …. will Xerox in the U.S. get back into the wide-format equipment business?”I read that and laughed..but then seriously thought…Considering my own experience and from my perspective…Xerox NEVER hit the right stride in the engineering market…Oce secured the Production side of the market and the “end-user” market with reliable; almost bomb proof machines that were worth their sticker price. And in the last decade KIP definitively moved into a position of producing a cost conscious; user friendly unit. So now as Xerox…….I announce that I'm out of the WF market for 2012? 2013? R & D this technology abroad…..They'll have position themselves for a mid 2013-2014 launch.The answer to your question…..is YES. I'll put dinner at Bern's on it.I hope that this finds you well.Regards
