West Canadian Digital Imaging, Inc., based in Calgary, produced a collection of door hangers targeting high-level decision makers – each included creative personalization, such as the recipient's name written in lingering smoke or sand, along with their own URL. Printed on a Xerox DocuColor 8000 Digital Color Press, the company generated 56 customer leads in the first three weeks of delivery.
 
Keiger Printing Company relied on the Xerox iGen4 Press to print collateral with a colorful landscape on special stock.  "The image-matching capabilities of the iGen4 press allow us to consistently produce the clarity and crispness of landscape photos – while capturing the natural textured feel with a felt stock," said Louis Crockett, president, Keiger Printing Company, located in North Carolina.
 
U.K.-based marketing communication provider dsicmm Group used the iGen4 press to create a coffee table-style book as a fundraising tool. The books, personalized for each student, generated a 2,400 percent return on investment.
 
A case study booklet highlighting the powerful revenue-generating stories behind these winning entries, along with the six honorable mention winners, will be available at the trade show.
