Every Little Helps with the Xerox Colorqube
Tesco, one of the world’s largest retailers, has announced that as part of its continued commitment to be an environmentally-responsible business, it has equipeed its offices with the first high-speed solid ink office multifunction printer, the Xerox Colorqube.
The installation of six Xerox ColorQube multifunction systems at Tesco’s Personal Finance supermarket banking division’s new headquarters in Scotland is Europe’s first customer installation of this breakthrough printing resource. The Xerox ColorQube’s cartridge-free design and new solid ink technology means that it cuts greenhouse emissions significantly and can reduce lifecycle energy consumption. As a result, the Xerox ColorQube system provides real environmental benefits to Tesco Personal Finance’s new offices and will help set the benchmark for other Tesco offices and set a precedent in the market.
Nick Folkes, IT Director, Infrastructure and Operations, Tesco Stores Limited said, “Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing us today and, at Tesco, we have a responsibility to provide leadership. Our move to new headquarters in Edinburgh gave us the opportunity to have the most eco friendly office possible and therefore required office devices that reduced our carbon footprint. The Xerox ColorQube’s environmental credentials made it extremely attractive to use as it fitted firmly with Tesco’s Community Plan - our programme to put social and environmental issues at the heart of our business."
Tesco wanted to reduce total cost, and this was achieved by seperating themselves from the conventional stand alone printers, faxes, photocopiers and scanners. To replace these the opted for multifuncitonal devices such as the Xerox ColorQube 9200 offering savings across the board. In order to protect sensitive financial information from being accessed by different departments on the shared devices, the Xerox ColorQube 9200 is equipped with Secure Access and Equitrac Follow Me, unique in its class.
Since its launch the ColorQube has been honoured with three major awards.
- In May 2009 the ColorQube was honoured with a Technological Innovation Award from Industry Analysts, Inc., in recognition of the breakthrough technology behind the world's first high-speed solid ink multifunction printer.
- In June 2009 the new Hybrid Colour pricing plans, offered with the ColorQube, were awarded “Most Innovative Colour Printer Pricing” as part the 2009 BERTL’s Best Awards.
- In July 2009 Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI) awarded the ColorQube an Outstanding Achievement Award for its innovative pricing structure, ease of use and environmental benefits.
