Page Int’l Exceeds Expectations With the Océ VarioPrint 6160 Ultra+ from Canon

Canon Solutions America, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., has announced that Page International Communications, a Nationwide Argosy Solutions company, has installed an Océ VarioPrint 6160 Ultra+  digital perfecting system.

One of the largest commercial printers in Houston, Page International says it prides itself on managing each client’s concept from start to finish. 

“Digital is very important to us and to our vision because we believe it is the future,” said Jeff Glover, CEO and COO of Page International. “Moving forward, the growth is going to be in the digital arena, so we are very much committed to the digital aspect of the business.”

Recognizing the continuing importance of the monochrome market, Glover says he decided to make a strategic investment in technology geared specifically toward that aspect of the business. After carefully considering a number of competitive offerings, Glover and his team zeroed in on the Océ VarioPrint 6160 Ultra+, which had been brought to their attention by Carl von Werder, Page International’s manager of lean manufacturing and workflow automation.

“We looked at everything the competition had to offer, but the Canon solution was head and shoulders above the rest,” he said.

Glover was equally impressed with Canon Solutions America’s willingness to back up the purchase with a performance guarantee. Later on, upon reviewing Page International’s original business case for making the acquisition, Glover was pleased to find the Océ VarioPrint 6160 Ultra+ had out-performed in every way.

“We went back to our original forecast and compared that to the actual results,” relayed Glover. “In every category, the actual results exceeded those forecasted expectations.”

“Today’s customers expect faster turnaround than ever before, so it’s critically important to have complete confidence that your equipment will be able to deliver in a timely fashion,” explained Francis A. McMahon, vice president, marketing, Production Print Solutions division of Canon Solutions America. “With the Océ VarioPrint 6160 Ultra+, Page International has gained the ability to run for incredibly long periods without the need for any intervention. That’s incredibly valuable in terms of productivity.”

“Our acquisition of the Océ VarioPrint 6160 Ultra+ demonstrates our commitment to stepping up and bringing in the right technology to support our vision of being a turnkey solution,” Glover said. “It’s going to help us continue to increase cash flow through the profitability and efficiency it brings to our organization. We expect this is the start of a bigger relationship with Canon Solutions America.”
