Friday, January 29, 2016 at 11:44 PM EST. ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- The news of Xerox splitting may make employees and some of the community concerned about their future, but it doesn’t come too much of a surprise to Harter Secrest & Emery managing partner Craig Wittlin. "It's not an unusual thing to see a company like this engaging in a transaction like this because the business just really is different and they lend themselves to being in different companies,” Wittlin said.

2016-01-30 . NEWS ANALYSIS: Smaller and lighter is better, and two or more entities is better at doing business than one. By the way, smaller is also easier to sell, too. As Three Dog Night stated famously in a hit record back in the '60s, "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do." An increasing number of American corporations are now singing that tune.

11:04 p.m. EST January 30, 2016. My son perched on my lap, asking for the umpteenth time for stories about when he was little. He’s 4. Rather than recall how he got his name (Sam) or his birth story, I thought I might show him photos of his infancy and toddler years, and talk to him about what we were doing when each one was taken.

Jan 30, 2016. The phrase “the third industrial revolution” as a means to describe the impact 3D printing will have on the world has been tossed around for quite a while now. The story goes that the mechanization of the textile industry got things rolling with the first industrial revolution prior to the ushering in of the second industrial revolution via Henry Ford's assembly line. 3D Printing, a technology that focuses on a collaborative and digitally inspired small-scale approach to manufacturing is arguably driving the third industrial revolution in these early, frontier days.

- drupa 2016 Will Demonstrate Market Demand and Growth of Wide-Format Digital Printing
January 29, 2016. Not so many years ago, the wide-format printing market was still in an experimental stage and couldn’t be considered a serious contender for production in commercial environments. Since those early days, the advances in technology have been rapid, now reaching the point where digital has become the preferred format for many display applications. Reliability in machine build has accompanied the continuing evolution of printheads and inks, resulting in platforms that produce consistent results that are fit-for-purpose; nowadays, it is rare to find a print business involved in large-format jobs that doesn’t have an inkjet capability as part of its plant list of equipment.
