Color Copiers - Candid Copy

Meanwhile, color copiers are waiting in the wings, sneaking a peek at short-run jobs traditionally sent to those offset presses. Copier vendors say that their products are best suited to take on those fast-turnaround jobs that are still being routed to the pressroom.

Chris Bilello, national digital business development manager for Minolta, recalls starting out with Canon about 10 years ago as a systems engineer. He worked with the first customers to connect color copiers for printing. He notes the initial target was any business that was looking to sell color copies—copy shops, small commercial printers and in-plant facilities.
