Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc., announced that Graphic Village, a multichannel marketing solutions provider in the Greater Cincinnati region, expanded its digital printing capabilities with the addition of an Océ VarioPrint i300 sheetfed inkjet press.
Graphic Village has a broad array of capabilities all under one roof, from comprehensive print, direct mail, packaging, and promotional items, to digital advertising, websites, and content for publications.
“We have experienced a lot of growth since the company was first founded in 1921,” said Larry Kuhlman, president of Graphic Village. “Back then, as Bramkamp Printing Company, we were the innovators because we installed one of the first Heidelberg presses in Cincinnati. Now, with nearly 100 years of experience, we’re staying ahead of the pack by constantly reimagining what’s possible in marketing. One of the factors that keeps us in the lead is having the vision to take advantage of the latest technology.”
Since acquiring the Océ VarioPrint i300, Kuhlman has seen an increase in productivity, but more importantly, this volume comes without sacrificing quality.
“The speed of the VarioPrint i300 has been incredible. Not only are we turning jobs much faster, but the uptime has been fantastic,” Kuhlman said. “I’ve been amazed at how the press holds fine screens and tints…there’s no dot gain or color shift like you might see on other digital devices. The color is consistent throughout the job. Best of all, what we’ve been generating on this press is mostly new business. Most print providers fear they will cannibalize their toner work by going to inkjet, but that simply has not been the case.”
