Xerox will source Kyocera’s high-speed cut-sheet inkjet production presses in a new partnership, with new presses branded under the Xerox name due for release
Xerox has announced a strategic partnership with Kyocera, agreeing to source Kyocera’s high-speed cut-sheet inkjet production presses.
The collaboration between the two print press manufacturers marks Xerox’s re-entry into the cut-sheet inkjet market, significantly broadening its production print portfolio.
The new presses, sold and serviced by Xerox, will be branded under the Xerox name and will come with Xerox-developed software, integration, and service capabilities. Availability and model-specific details will be announced later this year.
Terry Antinora, senior vice president and head of product and engineering at Xerox, says of the new partnership: “This is a pivotal moment for our production print business.
“Our re-entry into the cut-sheet inkjet market allows us to diversify our portfolio, meet growing client demand for speed and efficiency, and reinforce our commitment to leadership in digital production.”
Through this partnership, Xerox will aim to offer its customers high-performance, cost-effective colour inkjet presses, integrated with the Xerox Production Ecosystem of automated and AI-assisted workflow solutions.
The ecosystem includes Xerox FreeFlow, which Xerox announced changes to earlier this month.
The new version of Freeflow includes the addition of PowerSplit Accelerator, a tool designed to enable faster processing of complex jobs, as well as Vision Connect, which delivers enhanced data reporting, predictive monitoring, and interactive insights.
Keisuke Koyama, executive officer and senior general manager, Corporate Marketing, at Kyocera, adds: “By combining Kyocera’s proven inkjet technology with Xerox’s global reach, client trust, and workflow automation, we’re delivering truly unique solutions for production printers who demand reliability and a return on their investment.
“Together, we are enabling our clients to compete more effectively in the fast-evolving production print landscape.”
Xerox has made a series of announcements since it completed its acquisition of print manufacturer Lexmark at the start of July.
On the same day as the Kyocera announcement (July 31st), Xerox released its Q2 results for 2025, revealing year-on-year losses for the company.
Xerox’s Q2 results showed a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net loss of $106m (£80.5m), or $0.87 (£0.66) per share year-over-year, a decline of $124m (£94.2m). Its operating cash flow of $11m (£8.4m) was lower by $134m (£101.8m) year-over-year, with its free cash flow figure at $30m (£22.8m) lower by $145m (£110.1m) in the same period.
However, the company’s revenue of $1.58bn (£1.2bn), down 1.1% in constant currency, drove Xerox to say that its “reinvention” had driven revenue stability, with the Lexmark acquisition strengthening its core offerings.
Earlier this month, the manufacturer also announced updates to the Xerox PrimeLink B9100 production press series, alongside the previously mentioned updates to its FreeFlow workflow software.
The latest updates to the PrimeLink B9100 series include new optional two-tray high-capacity feeders, available in both standard and vacuum feed models, which can boost production efficiency by reducing paper loading and minimising idle time.
Additionally, an optional 'job vitals' light was unveiled, which provides job status updates designed to be visible from across the production floor.
A software upgrade to the B9100 series print server powered by Fiery was also announced, designed to enable secure and reliable transactional printing.
