Shepard Joins Xeikon as Sales Manager

Well known to in-plant managers for his frequent participation at in-plant conferences, Ronald Shepard has just been appointed National Document Sales Manager and Trillium Specialist at Xeikon. He moves into this role after serving as Director of Sales and Marketing for Heidelberg CSAT America, following positions with HP Indigo America and Eastman Kodak.

In his new job, Shepard will focus on growing the market penetration of the Xeikon 8000 Series of digital color presses as well as Xeikon's Trillium High Viscosity Toner (HVT) technology.

The Xeikon 8000 Series of presses consists of three models, all of which feature high precision LED-array imaging technology to deliver true 1,200-dpi resolution and four-bit per spot color depth. With monthly duty cycles of up to 10 million pages, a media width of 20.2 inches and unlimited print length, the Xeikon 8000 Series supports a broad range of document and commercial printing applications, including direct mail, transactional printing, books and point-of-sale banners/posters.

Trillium, soon to be released, delivers a combination of high image quality and speed. A key strength of Trillium technology lies in its ability to print mid-to-high image coverage jobs with outstanding quality, which makes it particularly suitable for direct marketing and commercial printing applications. In addition, Trillium technology offers significantly lower running costs while maintaining the high eco-sustainability standards for which Xeikon products are known.
