Xerox Digital Printing and Multifunction Products Honored by Independent Test Labs, Industry Publications.
STAMFORD, CT, 23 July 2007 - Leading IT publications and test and research organizations around the globe recognized Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) with 127 awards and honors during the first half of the year. Xerox office printers and multifunction products received numerous honors from independent testing labs, including six Buyers Laboratory Inc.'s prestigious "Pick of the Year" honors, 15 "Editor's Choice" awards by Better Buys for Business, and four "Highly Recommended" designations from BERTL.
Digital Production Systems Praised
Testing organizations also praised Xerox's digital production systems. Better Buys for Business awarded the Xerox 4110™ Enterprise Printing System, the Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 EA Digital Production System and the DocuColor® 8000AP Digital Press with "Editor's Choice" designations. Additionally, the Xerox Nuvera 288 Digital Perfecting System took home the "Best in Show" award in the monochrome digital printing equipment category at the On Demand tradeshow in April, and the DocuColor™ 260 Digtial Color Printer/Copier received an honorable mention in the Process Color Digital Printing Equipment category.
Editorial accolades for solid ink devices were received from Government Computer News, naming the Phaser™ 8560MFP a "Best of FOSE" winner in the peripherals category. This product also received an "Editor's Choice" designation from Computer Shopper. Solid ink technology was lauded by both publications for its ease of use, overall print quality and quick speeds.
High Quality Color from Phaser 8560/N
"In our hands-on tests, we found that Xerox's Phaser 8560/N delivered high-quality color prints at a speedy clip - and, thanks to its solid ink printing technology, at a remarkably thrifty cost per page," said Rik Fairlie, editor in chief of Computer Shopper. "With the cost of consumables so high, low per-page printing is a factor that all shoppers should consider when buying a printer."
Other editorial accolades were garnered from PC Magazine, which gave "Editor's Choice" designations to two Xerox office printers - the Phaser 6180 and Phaser 6360 color laser printers. In addition, Xerox's DocuShare™ content management software was chosen as the leader in the "Image/Forms/Document Capture" category of the KMWorld 2007 Readers' Choice Awards.
