On Demand Show Busier Than Anticipated
Some of the buzz on the show floor was about the demise of Graphic Arts Monthly, one of the oldest commercial printing trade magazines. It was shut down by its owners just days before On Demand.
So close to IPEX (a large graphic arts show taking place this month in the U.K.), On Demand featured few major product introductions, but there were a couple. Xerox debuted the Xerox Color 800/1000 presses, which print at 80 and 100 pages per minute (ppm) respectively and have a smaller footprint than an iGen4, a characteristic sure to interest in-plants. Going after the iGen market for the first time was Konica Minolta, which debuted its bizhub PRESS C8000, printing 80 color ppm.
