From Versant to Proficio | What’s New in Xerox Production Presses

Xerox is introducing a new generation of production presses with the Xerox Proficio series—designed to take the place of the well-known Versant line. 


If you’ve worked with devices like the Xerox Versant 280 Press or Xerox Versant 4100 Press, you’ll notice that Xerox Proficio builds on that foundation while adding smarter, more streamlined capabilities. 

From Xerox Versant to Xerox Proficio: A Quick Transition Overview 

The Versant platform earned its reputation for:

  • Reliable day-to-day production 
  • Consistent color output 
  • Flexible media handling 

The new Xerox Proficio PX300 and Xerox Proficio PX500 continue those strengths—but with adding focus on automation and workflow efficiency.
