The Xerox Research Center Webster has a broad charter to explore, incubate and innovate across the spectrum of devices, solutions and services. Internationally recognized for pioneering work in xerography, the Webster research laboratories were founded in 1960 and have provided the technical foundation and intellectual property protection for four generations of Xerox marking engines. More recently, the Xerox Research Center Webster has expanded its charter to encompass an integrated, end-to-end view of Xerox products, solutions and services technologies in collaboration with value-chain partners throughout the company.
In Xerox Research Center Webster labs, world-class scientists investigate systems integration and design, solid ink technology, the control of complex imaging and printing systems, and the architectures and systems for advanced digital imaging and workflow technologies. Its researchers lead the drive to provide Xerox customers with affordable color products and with services and solutions that help them both simplify and get more value from their document-intensive business processes.
Their work spans the entire scope of document production and services, starting with color theory and image generation and including image evaluation, image processing, marking processes, media handling, microsystems, embedded systems controls and device controls and value-adding workflows. They orchestrate these activities to develop future marking engine platforms that emphasize color, low cost of ownership, improved media latitude, and benchmark image quality. They reduce the cost and improve the performance of Xerox marking engines by using electronics and modern controls to replace costly precision mechanical parts while assuring strong performance. And their digital imaging and workflow technologies are transforming the commercial printing business with personalized printing that has the quality of National Geographic magazine at a cost that is affordable for print buyers and profitable for print providers.. Their digital imaging and workflow technologies are transforming the commercial printing business with personalized printing that has the quality of National Geographic magazine at a cost that is affordable for print buyers and profitable for print providers. Their work in services production has led to a revolution in lean document production, reducing waste and making the process as much as five times faster.
