This seems like the sad conclusion, the beginning of the end, for one of our industry's pioneering companies and who largely made the digital printing market segment. It's not surprising given the lack of innovation in the last 10 years but it is hard to watch. Through the years I was excited to buy nearly every industry-leading product they made and sold but it's been a while since they've had anything relevant on the market so I guess this is to be expected, it's just disappointing. So many friends have worked for them and so many good memories were made running their products, alas, time marches on.

Innovation is in Xerox' genetic make-up and I am sure there are things that will come out of the changes in the future.

At the beginning of the year Xerox was considering not attending Printing United but they will have a significant presence. No one knows what the future holds.
