Fogarty takes out Fogra certification for Fuji Xerox

Fuji Xerox takes out honour as second Xerox company to achieve Validation Printing System Certification.

Following a week-long development workshop and two-day certification process conducted by Ulricht Schmitt of Fogra at the head office in Hainburg, Germany, certification was awarded to Gordon Fogarty, Fuji Xerox’s colour management services manager, on behalf of the company.

Fuji Xerox Australia is the second operating company to achieve globally recognised accreditation for Validation Print. Xerox Austria was the first to receive this certification.

“I am honoured to be one of only a handful of individuals who have received Fogra’s international mark of distinction for demonstrating the highest standards in print quality,” Fogarty said.

Fogarty believes that the certification will benefit Fuji Xerox’s customers. “[They] can now be assured that their materials can be printed with a defined quality. Even variable data documents can match the pre-defined standard,” he said.

“This will assist our customers to meet the demands of colour accuracy for materials produced on digital equipment.”

These thoughts were furthered by Simon Lane, national manager production services business at Fuji Xerox. “This certification will have lasting benefits, not only for our customers, but also for the industry,” he said.

“Gordon’s expertise in meeting international ISO standards will ensure our customers can meet the stringent colour and quality demands set by some of Australia’s leading brands. It opens up a new world of print possibilities.”
