An important inventor working for Xerox has passed the mark for 100 US patents, becoming just the 14th Xerox inventor to clock that many.

Steven J Harrington has created a number of important inventions for Xerox, including inkjet printer technologies and other developments that have helped drive Xerox forward in the printer world.

"Steve has the rare ability to find new ways of approaching challenges," said Sophie Vandebroek, Xerox's chief technology officer and president of the Xerox Innovation Group.

"His inventions have ranged from digital watermarking and inkjet printer technologies to highlight colour mapping and a method for correcting colour in a compressed image. His discoveries have enriched Xerox product and service offerings and have influenced the state of the art in imaging."

Steve's landmark patent is called "System and method for measuring and quantising document quality" and is US patent number 7,092,551.

The incredible inventor has been working for the company for 15 years, following two years teaching at the State University of New York, Brockport.
