All about the reliability.

Adding Value to Customers’ Prints
"Our contract for our current Versant 80 press came to an end, and the Versant 280 was the natural progression. We were given the option of the Vivid and Fluorescent colour kits and decided that it was a great opportunity to increase sales. It enables us to add value to customers’ prints, giving more options with design and our workflow. We can now use substrates that were out of reach before, like floor vinyls and window clings, to magnetic papers. This has given us much more potential to say yes to customers’ inquiries and print in-house. We've been using Xerox digital presses for over 10 years now and the quality is always excellent. Our Versant 280 is a great, affordable option for a print company of our size, giving more ability to enhance print material and add value."
Stewart Byron Director JJR Print Ltd (Dumbarton, Scotland UK)

Our clients see the benefit and we look forward to supporting them in the future with our Adaptive CMYK+ capabilities."
Alan Bailey Owner International Minute Press (Graham, NC)

The Xerox Versant 280 really brings value to my products and services portfolio."
Cosmin Stanciu CEO Cora Office Solutions (Alba Iulia, Romania)
Innumerable opportunities with additional inks

Dennis Beck General Manager Minuteman Press (North Palm Beach, Florida)

Jim Francis Owner Minuteman Press (Fort Worth, Texas)
This press has it all
“We were feeling the need to improve our printing capabilities and we came across the Versant 3100.

Simply put, printing has never been as easy and fun as it is today with our Versant.”
Daniel Pelikán Owner Pelikan Daniel (Pardubice, Czech Republic)

Jacopo Bernardi Technical Department Centrooffset (Mestrino, Italy)
Perfect balance between productivity and performance
“Versant is the perfect balance between productivity and performance - the ideal solution for our customer base.

Versant also supports our activity enabling some offset volume to digital - leading us to tripling our digital print volumes the last 6 months."
Paola Testori Owner Tipografia Testori Luigi (Bolzano Novarese, Italy)
We needed a powerful press
“We offer a range of printing services including fast print and printing on non-standard materials – including dense and textured paper, tracing paper and envelopes. When our old press wasn’t able to cope with increased volumes we needed a powerful press to improve the speed of orders, spot colour accuracy and reduce the cost of printing. So we chose the new Xerox Versant 180 – the first to be installed in Russia – to strengthen our position in the market and develop our business."
Oleg Nekrasov Director Craft Printing House (Rostov-na-Donu, Russia)
Standing out in digital print
