McNeil Printing Installs Océ Arizona 6170 XTS UV Flatbed Printer

Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc., announced that McNeil Printing, a Utah Valley-based print service provider has installed the recently launched Océ Arizona 6170 XTS UV flatbed printer. Helping to streamline workflow and expand its portfolio of wide format offerings, McNeil Printing additionally acquired an Océ ProCut flatbed cutter poised to provide significant depth to the company’s print fleet.
 
Founded in 1990, McNeil Printing began as a small fulfillment and packaging center where most jobs involved shrink-wrapping and kit building. Over time, the print leader expanded its services to include commercial printing and binding services, which led to a steady rise and reputation as one of Utah Valley’s premier printing companies. With a suite of services and offerings, coupled with state-of-the-art technology, McNeil Printing has grown to specialize in full-service offset and digital printing, as well as sign and display graphics.
 
McNeil Printing recently sought new technology that could help solidify its position as an authority in the space. As the search for both a cutting-edge and dynamic large format solution progressed, McNeil Printing was introduced to advanced flatbed technology by Canon Solutions America.
 
“With our acquisition of the Océ Arizona 6170 flatbed printer, we expected a significant decrease in production costs, but we were surprised by how quickly we can finish jobs for our customers. We are now able to offer faster turn around times for our clients and maintain increased production without hiring additional staff members,” said Tyler McNeil, GM of McNeil Printing for the last 17 years. “Because of the efficiency of this flatbed technology, McNeil Printing’s wide format volume has already doubled – and we look for that number to grow even more over the next few months.”
 
Designed for versatile, higher volume production of high quality large format display graphics printing onto rigid substrates, the Océ Arizona 6100 Series – comprised of the 6160 XTS and 6170 XTS systems – delivers exceptional image quality while providing opportunities to increase wide format revenue.
 
“From the creativity it sparks throughout our organization to the capability of printing directly on wood or vinyl, our newest print applications have allowed us to offer a more robust and unique wide format solution to our existing customer-base while also reaching new clients,” McNeil said.
 
Accompanying the Océ Arizona 6170 at McNeil Printing is the Océ ProCut flatbed cutter, which was designed to support a
