UXBRIDGE – Tesco, the world’s third largest retailer, has announced that as part of its continued commitment to be an environmentally-responsible business, it has invested in the world’s first high-speed solid ink office multifunction printer. The installation of six Xerox ColorQube 9200 multifunction systems at Tesco’s Personal Finance supermarket banking division’s new headquarters in Scotland is Europe’s first customer installation of this breakthrough new device. The Xerox ColorQube’s cartridge-free design and new print head technology means that it cuts greenhouse emissions significantly and can reduce lifecycle energy consumption by nine percent. As a result, the Xerox ColorQube system provides real environmental benefits to Tesco Personal Finance’s new offices and will help set the benchmark for new Tesco offices in the future. Nick Folkes, IT Director, Infrastructure and Operations, Tesco Stores Limited said, “Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing us today and, at Tesco, we have a responsibility to provide leadership. Our move to new headquarters in Edinburgh gave us the opportunity to have the most eco friendly office possible and therefore required office devices that reduced our carbon footprint. The Xerox ColorQube’s environmental credentials made it extremely attractive to use as it fitted firmly with Tesco’s Community Plan - our programme to put social and environmental issues at the heart of our business. ”Now that the Xerox devices are in place, we are closely monitoring the success of the machines both from a Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) and cost perspective. We hope that the rollout undertaken by Tesco Personal Finance will act as a blueprint for Tesco corporate offices in the future,” Nick Folkes added. Tesco’s office move saw the supermarket bank consolidate its office equipment and reduce its total cost of ownership. This was achieved by moving away from stand-alone printers, faxes and scanners and ins

UXBRIDGE – Xerox will soon add the world’s most productive cut-sheet digital colour press to its industry-leading portfolio. The Xerox iGen4™ 220 Perfecting Press features two Xerox iGen4 110 Presses running in tandem. By integrating the Xerox iGen4 110 engines in-line, the system can print 220 impressions per minute and approach a monthly print volume of up to seven million impressions. “Our customers told us turnaround time, productivity and labour costs are their major challenges,” said Eric Armour, president, Global Business Group, Xerox Corporation. “We listened and built this press to convert those challenges into opportunities.” The high-speed system delivers twice the speed and productivity with a single operator, saving time and labour. It has a smaller footprint and is more compact than two iGen4 110 presses sitting side-by-side. It also allows users to maximise their finishing equipment because one finishing device can be used to support two print engines. Customers can leverage their existing technology investment by upgrading an installed iGen4 110 press driven by Xerox’s FreeFlow® Print Server to an iGen4 220 Perfecting Press. This allows customers to take on high-volume digital colour print jobs today, then double productivity early next year when the perfecting press is ready for installation. The Xerox iGen4 220 Perfecting Press builds on the tandem architecture technology of the Xerox Nuvera® 288 Perfecting Production System, a twin-engine monochrome press. Both devices leverage the power of two print engines that are designed and managed as one. A benefit of this design is “pass through programming” that keeps the system running even if an engine needs service, providing maximum productivity and uptime. The new system comes standard with in-line spectrophotometers in each engine to provide maximum uptime and automate tasks such as calibration and press colour check. It will be driven by FreeFlow Print Server technology, in
