Xerox's 50 Series: A Comeback Story
2025-09-17
In 1988, Xerox launched its 50 series copiers to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Chester Carlson's invention of the first xerographic image. Xerox touted the 50 series as its most significant product line since the 10 series in 1982. Featuring enhanced capabilities and a higher price point, the 50 series (models 5018, 5028, 5046, 5052, and 5090) helped Xerox reclaim market share lost to Japanese competitors.
