UXBRIDGE – Xerox will manage global print operations at Ingersoll Rand , saving the global manufacturing firm millions by better managing company-wide print spend. The nine-year Enterprise Print Services (EPS) contract brings multiple output devices, print budgets and vendor support systems under Xerox management. As a result, Ingersoll Rand expects to reduce operational costs by up to 30 percent and improve productivity with faster, easier ways to manage the volume of documents – invoices, service agreements, product manuals and marketing materials – for its diverse base of commercial and industrial customers. In working with Xerox, Ingersoll Rand will design a document strategy that supports two corporate initiatives – fully integrate the businesses acquired from Trane in June 2008; and centralise and standardise its entire technology infrastructure, making work processes more consistent and efficient for employees. In Europe, Xerox will manage print services across Ingersoll Rand sites in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands and Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and UK. “Xerox shares our long-term vision for well managed print across our entire company,” said William B. Gauld, senior vice president, Ingersoll Rand. “While they optimise our print environment to meet our cost savings, environmental sustainability and customer service goals, we can stay focused on our primary vision of inspiring progress for our customers.” Using a Lean Six Sigma -based approach, Xerox will design a print environment with the appropriate number of output devices, like printers, fax machines, copiers and scanners, to help employees work more efficiently. Ingersoll Rand employees will have help adapting to more efficient technology and work processes through Xerox’s change management training and support programs. “This is not a typical client-supplier contract, it’s a partnership that combines strengths from both compan

UXBRIDGE – Xerox today announced a new reseller partnership with London Graphic Systems. This new agreement will see the London-based supplier to the creative industry adding Xerox colour technology for the first time to its portfolio of specialist colour printing systems. London Graphic Systems is an established supplier to the capital’s creative community, with a reputation for providing professional colour devices with a range of flexible service contracts. The addition of Xerox light production colour devices, such as the Xerox 700, to London Graphic Systems’ portfolio means that the supplier can now deliver bespoke solutions to design and media agencies as well as others, using the right Xerox print technology to meet customers’ needs. “This is an exciting time for London Graphic Systems,” said Gordon Christiansen, Managing Director. ”As the number one choice for the creative market, London Graphic Systems can now supply colour systems from the industry’s leading digital printer providers along with our renowned expertise and customer service.” Commenting on the new partnership, Peter Taylor, director, Production and Graphic Communications, Xerox UK said, “The relationship Xerox has with London Graphic Systems will be highly beneficial to both parties. Xerox will benefit from working with one of the top vendors to the creative sector, where print image and colour quality are essential and London Graphic Systems will supply and service a range of Xerox colour technology that will provide even greater value to its customers.” - XXX - About Xerox UK Xerox UK, the UK operation of Xerox Corporation, markets a comprehensive range of Xerox products, solutions and services, as well as associated supplies and software. Its offerings are focused on three main areas: offices from small to large, production print and graphic arts environments, and services that include consulting, systems design and management, and document outsourcing.

UXBRIDGE - Aldridge Print Group (APG), the Mitcham-based commercial print provider, has invested in two new Xerox machines to serve the company’s fast-growing digital division and deliver excellent black and white and colour documents to customers. The installation of a Xerox DocuColor 5000AP and a Xerox 700 Digital Press will complement APG’s offset business and provide the capability to run variable data, short-run jobs as well as enable the business to test new markets, such as web services. APG’s purchase of Xerox digital equipment will support new print jobs that feed directly into the company’s profitability and diversify the company’s offering away from traditional lithographic printing. APG expects to see a 20% growth this year which comes from offering new and existing customers a more complete in-house service. Robert Aldridge, director of Aldridge Print Group, said, “APG has always invested in the latest technology and thrives on innovation. In these tough economic times, we have chosen to invest in new areas of our business so that we can continue to thrive and remain competitive in the marketplace. For our digital equipment, we looked for a technology provider who could share our values and the company’s pre-existing knowledge of the digital sector led us to pick Xerox. This was obviously the right decision as our sales are up and we now have access to some of the newest technology on the market, which is supported by Xerox’s superior customer service.” Peter Taylor, director, Production and Graphic Arts, Xerox UK said, “Earlier this year, I discussed how UK printers were hungry for new ideas that could maximise the use of their print equipment and help drive growth in their businesses. As we move towards the end of a tough year, it is great to see customers like Aldridge Print Group demonstrating how an investment in the right technology can facilitate superb results and further drive their business. Such tactics also help APG and others

UXBRIDGE – With the development of a new silver ink, Xerox scientists have paved the way for commercialisation and low-cost manufacturing of printable electronics. Printable electronics offers manufacturers a very low-cost way to add “intelligence” or computing power to a wide range of surfaces such as plastic or fabric. This development will aid the commercialisation of new applications such as “smart” pill boxes that track how much medication a patient has taken or display screens that roll up to fit into a briefcase. “For years, there’s been a global race to find a low-cost way to manufacture plastic circuits,” said Paul Smith, laboratory manager, Xerox Research Centre of Canada. “We’ve found the silver bullet that could make things like electronic clothing and inexpensive games a reality today. This breakthrough means the industry now has the capability to print electronics on a wider range of materials and at a lower cost.” Until now, bringing low-cost electronics to the masses has been hindered by the logistics and costs associated with silicon chip manufacturing; the breakthrough low-temperature silver ink overcomes the cost hurdle, printing reliably on a wide range of surfaces such as plastic or fabric. As part of its commercialisation initiatives, Xerox plans to aggressively seek interested manufacturers and developers by providing sample materials to allow them to test and evaluate potential applications. Integrated circuits are made up of three components – a semiconductor, a conductor and a dielectric element – and currently are manufactured in costly silicon chip fabricating factories. By creating a breakthrough silver ink to print the conductor, Xerox has developed all three of the materials necessary for printing plastic circuits. Using Xerox’s new technology, circuits can be printed just like a continuous feed document without the extensive clean room facilities required in current chip manufacturing. In addition, scientists have
