Xerox launching inkjet and toner presses. By Wayne Robinson October 2, 2026 Xerox, which is widely expected to re-enter the ANZ market next year, is launching two new inkjet presses, and a successor to its six-colour Iridesse toner press. The company says it is deepening its commitment to production print with an inkjet portfolio spanning cut-sheet and continuous-feed, alongside its new six-colour flagship press for graphic arts. Integrated with the Xerox end-to-end production ecosystem of presses, workflow automation software, media expertise and lifecycle services, the new offerings extend specialty colour and intelligent automation capabilities across the broader portfolio, which Xerox claims will help print providers bring more work in-house, streamline production and pursue new revenue opportunities. Terry Antinora, president, Global Production Print Services at Xerox, said, "We're giving print providers a complete inkjet portfolio, embellishment, intelligent automation, and AI-powered tools that help them grow, differentiate, and win. Everything we're launching is designed to improve customer profitability - not just increase print volume." The new Xerox Proficio Jet CS1100 is a B3 cut-sheet inkjet press that delivers speeds of up to 300 images per minute. New Xerox-developed printheads and a high-definition ink formulation deliver 1200x1200dpi resolution, with 2-bit variable-drop imaging for precise dot placement. A scalable drying architecture supports media up to 350gsm, including coated stocks. According to Xerox the platform 'enables print providers to shift a wider range of work, from transactional and direct mail to graphic communications and commercial print, onto a single press without compromising quality.' It is scheduled for release in a year's time. The new Xerox Proficio Jet CF1200 is an 'industrial' continuous-feed inkjet press that delivers speeds of up to 160 metres a minute at 1200dpi within a 'compact' 8.5 metre footprint. Xerox says it is the smallest 20-inch press in its class. It handles between four million and 30 million Letter / A4 impressions per month, 'helping high-volume print providers increase capacity, operate more efficiently and protect margins.' The press is scheduled to hit the market in Q1 next year. Succeeding the Iridesse, the Xerox Proficio PX700 FLX is a new graphic arts production press that delivers speeds of up to 120 pages per minute, and supports up to six colours inline at rated speed. New Fluorescent Green specialty toner further expands the colour, and says Xerox, improves RGB accuracy when paired with Fluorescent Pink. According to Xerox its intelligent automation helps reduce operator intervention and improve consistency, enabling print providers to create differentiated, high-value applications. The new Proficio PX700 FLX will be commercially available in Q2 next year. In addition Xerox has updated its Proficio PX300 and PX500 features, with new Beyond CMYK and fifth-colour options, including Gold, Silver and White. The Proficio PX300 and Proficio PX500 expand opportunities for metallic effects and printing on dark and transparent media. The Proficio PX300 now also features the Xerox PredictPrint Media Manager, which uses AI-assisted cloud intelligence to simplify media setup and optimise colour stability. Xerox has not operated in Australia since its Fuji Xerox joint venture with Fujifilm ended five years ago. Digital edition. Read the latest issue of Print21's magazine.

Celebrating the unsung heroes of inclusion at the Employee Network Awards 2026. 28th September 2026 Employee networks and inclusion leaders working behind the scenes to create fairer, more inclusive workplaces have been recognised at the Employee Network Awards 2026, celebrating the people turning workplace inclusion from words into meaningful action. From disability accessibility and LGBTQIA+ inclusion to race equity, wellbeing, gender equality and support for working families, this year's winners reflect the increasingly important role employee networks play in shaping workplace culture, amplifying employee voices and creating a stronger sense of belonging. The Employee Network Awards 2026, headline sponsored by Haleon, took place on Friday 25 September at the InterContinental London Park Lane, bringing together employee networks, inclusion leaders and organisations from across UK workplaces. Hosted by Dawn Butler MP, with a special live performance from Leee John, the unmistakable voice of Imagination, the awards put the spotlight on work that can often happen behind the scenes, and frequently alongside employees' day jobs. "Behind every employee network are people giving their time and energy to make workplaces better for others," shared Kat Parsons, CEO of Diversity Umbrella, organiser of the Employee Network Awards. "These awards are our opportunity to say: we see you, and we celebrate the incredible work you do." Turning inclusion into action. Among this year's winners was Balfour Beatty's Right to Respect, which received the Best Network Initiative 2026 award for its work to transform workplace culture and champion respectful behaviour. Phil Whaite of A&O Shearman was named Network Inspirational Role Model 2026, recognising his commitment to disability inclusion and accessibility. Other winning employee networks represented a broad spectrum of workplace inclusion priorities. Ability@SGN at SGN was named Outstanding Ability Network, while BDO UK's Bridge received the Outstanding Employee Network award. Family Matters at Winston Taylor LLP won Outstanding Family Network, while Unity at Close Brothers was recognised as Outstanding LGBTQIA Network. The Black Employee Network (MBEN) at Moneybox received the Outstanding Ethnicity Network award, while Holland & Barrett's Better Together Network was named Outstanding New Network. Employee wellbeing was also recognised, with Wellbeing@Entain taking the Outstanding Wellness Network award, while ScottishPower's Connected Women was named Outstanding Women's Network. Recognising the people behind the networks. The awards also celebrated the individuals using their influence and leadership to help employee networks create change. Tony Fagelman of Xerox was named Outstanding Network Lead 2026, while Rebecca Short of Deutsche Bank received the Outstanding Executive Sponsor award. Georgie Willis of Eurostar won Head of Belonging, Culture or Diversity 2026. Jon Tilli of Deutsche Bank received the special Outstanding Leadership in Inclusion award, for his commitment to advancing LGBTQ+ inclusion, championing employee networks and driving change through his leadership of dbPride. The individual awards underline an important part of successful employee networks: while grassroots energy can build communities and bring issues to the surface, visible sponsorship and organisational support can help turn that employee voice into sustainable workplace change. Championing accessibility. The evening culminated in the Network of Networks 2026 award, sponsored by HSBC Innovation Banking, which brings together winning networks to compete for the event's ultimate accolade. This year's award went to Ability@SGN at SGN. The disability-focused network was recognised for championing accessibility, amplifying colleagues' voices and turning lived experience into meaningful organisational action. Its achievement was particularly notable because Ability@SGN also won the Outstanding Ability Network 2026 category earlier in the evening. The unsung heroes of workplace inclusion. Fair Play Talks highlighted the unsung heroes of inclusion when the Employee Network Awards shortlist was announced earlier this month. The winners demonstrate why that description matters. Employee networks can provide communities for colleagues who might otherwise feel isolated, surface workplace barriers that senior leaders may not see, provide insight into policy and employee experience, and create spaces where employees feel heard and represented. But many of the people running them do so in addition to their core roles. Recognising that contribution is therefore about more than celebrating successful events or campaigns. It also shines a light on the people contributing time, lived experience and emotional labour to make their organisations work better for others. The Employee Network Awards 2026 ultimately celebrated that collective effort - and the growing influence employee networks can have when organisations give them the support, visibility and leadership backing they need to create lasting change.
