MAN Roland will focus its digital efforts on its own DICOweb digitally imaged web machine.
The arrangement between the two firms was due for review by the end of this year following Xeikons decision to set up direct sales operations in several locations where MAN Roland, or its dealers were the local agents.
In July this year Xeikon Great Britain took over MAN Roland GBs DICOpage and DICOpack business.
In a statement MAN Roland said toner-based presses were no longer part of its core business and that established suppliers exist in this market and are providing enough services to satisfy market needs.
