The presence of a Xerox 980 Color Continuous Feed Printer opens up new business opportunities for Stralfors as they look to take advantage of the flexibility that the machine offers. As part of the Stralfors corporate strategy to produce efficient communications materials, the Xerox 980’s use of flash fusing, Xerox Integrated controller architecture and color management technologies will deliver crisp color documents efficiently. At the same time the Xerox 980 offers Stralfors a platform to develop a wide range of applications thus giving the printer a strong competitive edge.

Therefore we always ensure that the print technology we install meets the customers’ production and efficiency demands.
