Xerox was able to offer a joint solution with Duplo, enabling Hickling & Squires to generate print of the highest quality.

As a result, Hickling & Squires has installed a Xerox Versant® 2100 Press and Xerox Versant 80 Press to help support a surge in demand for short-run digital print and personalised, print on-demand contracts.

Xerox was able to offer a joint solution with Duplo, whereby the commercial printer also installed a Duplo 350 Digital Booklet System and a Duplo DC-646 slitter/cutter/creaser.
