"Our contract for our current Versant 80 press came to an end, and the Versant 280 was the natural progression. We were given the option of the Vivid and Fluorescent colour kits and decided that it was a great opportunity to increase sales. It enables us to add value to customers’ prints, giving more options with design and our workflow. We can now use substrates that were out of reach before, like floor vinyls and window clings, to magnetic papers. This has given us much more potential to say yes to customers’ inquiries and print in-house. We've been using Xerox digital presses for over 10 years now and the quality is always excellent. Our Versant 280 is a great, affordable option for a print company of our size, giving more ability to enhance print material and add value."

Stewart Byron Director JJR Print Ltd (Dumbarton, Scotland UK)

"The Vivid kit has been an exciting new addition to our Versant 180. Our designers are excited about the opportunity to be more creative and have the ability to add gold, silver, white and clear to dark substrates, reinventing business and holiday cards.

Our clients see the benefit and we look forward to supporting them in the future with our Adaptive CMYK+ capabilities."

Alan Bailey Owner International Minute Press (Graham, NC)

"We bought the Xerox Versant 280 as a support for our offset equipment. Due to a very good printing speed, colour enhancements and embellishments capabilities because of CMYK+ special colours, we can now accept any print job requested by our customers.

The Xerox Versant 280 really brings value to my products and services portfolio."

Cosmin Stanciu CEO Cora Office Solutions (Alba Iulia, Romania)

"Xerox is a trusted brand providing best in class colour reproduction, and we have the goal of taking our commercial printing jobs to a new level by addressing short quantity jobs through value additions with additional inks. The vivid and fluorescent colours available on the Versant 180 Press provide innumerable opportunities of adding value on most of the applications that we do, which is not currently available with ease of use. With these special colours, we have the opportunity to attract new customers and capitalise on the early bird advantage."

Jamie Gilbert Production Director

Simply put, printing has never been as easy and fun as it is today with our Versant.”

Daniel Pelikán Owner Pelikan Daniel (Pardubice, Czech Republic)

Tim Sellers General Manager Printegra (Fairport, New York)

Jacopo Bernardi Technical Department Centrooffset (Mestrino, Italy)

“Versant is the perfect balance between productivity and performance - the ideal solution for our customer base. This press was the only solution we tested that was able to handle some of our unique jobs.

Paola Testori Owner Tipografia Testori Luigi (Bolzano Novarese, Italy)

“We offer a range of printing services including fast print and printing on non-standard materials – including dense and textured paper, tracing paper and envelopes. When our old press wasn’t able to cope with increased volumes we needed a powerful press to improve the speed of orders, spot colour accuracy and reduce the cost of printing. So we chose the new Xerox Versant 180 – the first to be installed in Russia – to strengthen our position in the market and develop our business."

Oleg Nekrasov Director Craft Printing House (Rostov-na-Donu, Russia)

Emil Zakaryan General Manager Pechatnoe Delo (Moscow, Russia)

In addition, the 33x66 format will help me develop new products."
