"We are thrilled to continue our Keynote sponsorship with the Inkjet Summit this year, especially as we continue to bring industry leading innovation to market for our customers. A testament to our customers success is that they have collectively printed over 1 trillion pages since we entered the business over 15 years ago,” said Barbara McManus, Vice President and General Manager of HP PageWide Industrial. “Our latest presses are designed for profitable growth in high-volume production print: the HP PageWide T4250 HDR and the HP PageWide T500M HD. At this year's Summit, we are eager to engage with attendees and showcase how these two new presses demonstrate HP's ongoing commitment to pioneering advancements that keep our customers at the forefront of digital print technology, empowering their success.

We look forward to seeing everyone on April 14."
Dustin Graupman, Senior Director, Ink Jet Division, KYOCERA Document Solutions America says, “KYOCERA is thrilled to step-up to the Keynote Sponsorship level in 2025. It’s hard to imagine that we introduced our first production product into the industry in early 2020 and we find ourselves in this position just five years later. Having personally been involved in this event since the first time in 2013, I can without hesitation say this is both my favorite industry event and the most valuable for our customers.

We’re one of the few companies of our size leaning into the idea of co-creating solutions with printers and it’s really resonating with customers and prospects. We at RICOH relish our partnerships, both old and new, and strive to continue to bring the best print production solutions to the market. In the past 18 months we brought future technologies to the market with the RICOH Pro Z75 and the RICOH Pro VC80000. These technologies are changing the game in print production and productivity.
