California-based Dumont Printing had a challenge that most print service providers only dream about: demand. With revenues up 20 percent in the last two years, it turned to long-standing technology partner Xerox to prepare for even more growth.
In June, Dumont added a Xerox iGen 5 Press to its fleet to handle increasing business demands. Growth has come from both new and existing customers as well as the addition of new service offerings including promotional items, banners and signs, tradeshow displays and cross media services using XMPie software.
Xerox’s end-to-end production solutions give print service providers the framework needed to profit, transform and grow. At Graph Expo 2016, Xerox helped customers discover new ways to capture growth opportunities such as transactional marketing and personalized publishing with its latest print technologies, advanced workflow solutions and business development resources.
“We’re finding growth in all areas of our business,” said Susan Moore, president and owner, Dumont Printing. “The iGen 5 Press gives us more capacity and the flexibility to accommodate future growth through options to add speed, capacity and other capabilities down the road.”
The iGen 5’s optional fifth colour unit increases the ability to match a larger gamut of Pantone colours or unknown spot colours without hindering productivity.
Among the products that were on display at the Xerox booth were five 2016 MUST SEE ‘EMS award winners – the Brenva HD Production Inkjet Press, Direct to Object Inkjet Printer, FreeFlow Core 5.0, FreeFlow Digital Publisher and XMPie’s Campaigns-on-Demand.
“The road to transformation and growth in today’s competitive graphic communications market starts with the right technology and partner,” said Robert Stabler, senior vice president, Graphic Communications Business Group, Xerox. “At Graph Expo, attendees saw firsthand how we’re arming our customers, like Dumont, with the next wave of print technologies to help them stay competitive and propel business forward.”
The iGen 5 Press, the Xerox Rialto 900 Inkjet Press and the Xerox Versant 2100 Press was also on display at the show. The booth had various sections including business development resources, specialty media and inkjet application stations.
Xerox and XMPie were located at the same booth at Graph Expo, which took place Sept. 25 – 28 at Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center – North.
