PRINT 01 WRAP-UP -- Lasting Impressions

The combination of the Fuji/PrimeSource and HP/Indigo deals turned up the heat on digital press manufacturer Xeikon. At its press conference, the Belgian firm expressed confidence, saying added competition will increase awareness of digital technology, which will benefit everyone. With PrimeSource's acquisition leading to the dissolution of the companies' Canopy LLC venture, which had been the leading Xeikon distributor in North America, the company also announced it will henceforth be handling sales and support of its products directly.
