CHICAGO, Oct. 11, 2004 – Xerox Corporation today announced a line of wide-format paper and specialty media, specifically designed to maximize print quality on wide-format printers including the new Xerox 8160 and 8142 Wide Format Color printers. The new line consists of more than 30 products including photo papers, films, banners, canvas, and presentation and poster papers used by graphic arts professionals to create materials such as posters, signs, banners and point-of-purchase displays. “We’re opening new doors for our customers and allowing them to explore all the possibilities that wide-format color printing has to offer,” said Nancy Rees, senior vice president, Xerox Supplies Business Group. “With the range of media and Xerox wide-format technology, graphic communications professionals can produce high-quality pieces that will impress even the toughest critic.” The new supply products will ensure compatibility for customers working with equipment from multiple vendors. They are available in a wide variety of weights, finishes and sizes from 36- up to 60-inch roll widths. To assist customers in determining the right paper or specialty media fit for their applications, Xerox Supplies has developed a special Applications Guide. The guide provides a comprehensive overview of each product in the range, including key applications, product characteristics, imaging instructions and finishing recommendations. The guide will be available on the Xerox Web site on Oct. 15. The new Xerox wide-format supplies are available immediately in the United States, Canada and Europe through Xerox direct sales, authorized resellers and at www.xerox.com/supplies. They will be available in Latin America by the end of October. Pricing is determined locally for each country.
