Here it is – 2012: the cusp of the end of the world as we know it. The MpS train is rolling, picking up steam and boldly going. Today, supplies stores and office furniture guys are offering MpS, old-school stationers are setting up global MpS programs, and – hang onto your hat for this one – the wide-format boys are getting in too. Oh, what a party it is turning out to be. But the floor is crowded, the music old, and the dance moves mundane. We’re getting burnt out.
Not even a week into the new year, M&A news came through the wire: Xerox announced that it had acquired LaserNetworks, a managed print services provider in Canada. In the past five years, LaserNetworks more than doubled its revenue and annually supported approximately 1 billion pages under MPS contracts. Former LaserNetworks president Brian Stevenson sat down with TIC and offered his two cents on what this acquisition means for Xerox, LaserNetworks and the industry.

Xerox has replaced its aging Phaser 7760 tabloid color laser printer line with the new Phaser 7800 family. Unlike the older line, which was based on a laser print engine, the new 7800 series employs HiQ LED technology. According to Xerox, the HiQ LED print system provides enhanced performance over older color laser engines such as that used in the 7760. The firm claims its new LED technology offers better dot-to-dot density and more precise color registration while reducing energy consumption and noise. The new Phaser 7800 features other new technologies such as a newly designed printer controller. There are three models in the new 7800 lineup.
