Xerox is represented in 26 sub-Saharan countries by Bytes Document Solutions (BDS), the largest Xerox distributor in the world. Jason Patch, Production Systems Group Manager at Digilogix, explains that Boksburg Printers has always been at the forefront of printing technology, so the 2100 is merely the next step along this road. We expect that it will help grow their digital market and give the company the opportunity to produce more with more, thanks to automated colour management and consistency and increased uptime. It also delivers new applications that were unavailable on the previous press, which should make the business even more competitive in the market and keeps it at the forefront, says Patch.Tinker adds that Boksburg Printers has a large factory that boasts various business units, including a large colour litho section, a jobbing section, a digital section and a folding and finishing section.Because of these various revenue streams, the market we service is broad, and encompasses everyone from agencies through to corporates. The installation of the Versant 2100 will increase our competitiveness and be a big boost to our digital growth. Moreover, it provides us with additional capacity and assists our operations to be more cost effective, which in turn allows us to pass these savings on to our customers, meaning that everybody wins, he concludes.
