Xerox has acquired Impika, a leader in the design, production and sales of production inkjet printing solutions used for industrial, commercial, security, label and package printing.
Impika offers a portfolio of aqueous (water-based) inkjet presses based on proprietary technology.
Impika product lines include iPrint, a range of continuous feed production printers that print at speeds as fast as 375 meters per minute, and iPress, a range of graphic communications digital presses with resolutions of up to 2400x1200 dpi.
Impika, based in Aubagne, France, sells its products to print providers through its direct sales force and through a global network of channel partners, including Xerox, which has been reselling the Impika brand in Europe since 2011, and recently expanded to several developing markets.
In addition to Xerox’s existing xerographic production presses, the company developed and markets the world’s only high-speed waterless inkjet press, the Xerox CiPress Production Inkjet Systems.
The production inkjet market is projected to grow 21 percent annually through 2015, according to market research firm I.T. Strategies.
