Simon Lane, national manager for production services business at Fuji Xerox Australia the company’s presence at PacPrint grabbed the market’s attention. He adds that the timing of PacPrint was perfect for the industry, falling just one month prior to the 30 June deadline for phase one of the Government investment allowance.Lane says, “Our sales team spent May and June in close consultation with our many customers, and the result is that June has been a record month. In one month, Fuji Xerox signed more than 50 orders for the 700 Digital Color Press and five orders for the Xerox iGen4.”
Lane also says that many of the orders for the 700 Digital Color Press have been signed by customers who are new to digital, with numerous commercial printers taking their first steps in to the world of digital print. The Xerox iGen4 sales have been to a combination of existing Xerox iGen3 users and new clients, reinforcing the broad appeal of the Xerox iGen4 platform.
He continues, “The iGen4 is being installed into commercial printers, mailing houses, photo book manufacturers and more,” said Lane. “It is meeting our customers’ needs for productivity, image quality and automation.”
At PacPrint, Fuji Xerox Australia also announced its release of a Hire Purchase finance agreement, to assist eligible businesses to take advantage of the Federal Government’s investment allowance. This allowance enables small business to purchase equipment through to 31 December 2009 and potentially gain the benefit of the tax rebate.
Lane says, “One of the biggest challenges facing the printing industry is securing finance for investments. Fuji Xerox Finance is our own business, and it allows us to provide a total solution to our customers.”
