Xerox—From Toner to IJ
Xerox, which is well known as the citadel of toner digital printing, now appears to have recognized the hole in its digital print product line and is moving to adopt inkjet technology. The late February acquisition of Impika, a French-based inkjet provider that offers proprietary inks and piezoelectric imaging heads, signals a serious move into the production inkjet market. Xerox has been reselling Impika products in Europe since 2011 but they are virtually unknown in the United States. PrintCom analysts had the opportunity to see and touch Impika output at drupa 2012 and give the output a thumbs-up.
