Production print

Production print, from press to finished job

Canon imagePRESS and varioPRINT platforms for in-house print rooms, central reprographics and publishers, supplied and supported by a Canon Platinum Partner with three decades in print.

Overview

The print room is where our pedigree shows

Production print is unforgiving: colour must match, deadlines do not move and downtime is visible to everyone. We have specified, installed and supported production environments since 1992, long before most IT providers had heard of a print room. We hold Canon’s Gold ProPrint accreditation for production print, and we stand behind every press with highly skilled, experienced engineers who are manufacturer-trained on the devices they look after.

Personalisation

Variable data and cross-channel communications

Variable data printing (VDP) personalises every piece within a single run, changing names, offers, text and imagery from your data, so a thousand mailers become a thousand individual documents. The same data can drive cross-channel communications, keeping print, email and digital output consistent.

  • Variable data printing (VDP)
  • Personalised direct mail and documents
  • Data-driven versioning
  • Cross-channel campaign output
Workflow

From file to finished, without friction

Online job submission through web-to-print, queue management and accounting through uniFLOW and Canon production workflow, so your print room runs like a production line, not a bottleneck.

  • Online job submission (web-to-print)
  • Cost and departmental accounting
  • uniFLOW integration
  • Finishing workflows
Colour profiling

Colour that matches, run after run

We profile and calibrate every production device we install, building ICC profiles for your media and maintaining them over time, so brand colours, proofs and reprints match between runs and between devices.

  • ICC colour profiling per device and media
  • Calibration maintained through the contract
  • Proof-to-press consistency
  • Colour-critical reprints that match
Pre-emptive servicing

Serviced before it stops, not after

Production devices are serviced pre-emptively: remote monitoring and scheduled preventative visits mean wear parts are replaced and adjustments made before they cause a fault. Highly skilled, experienced engineers, manufacturer-trained on every press we install, stand behind every installation, and every installation includes comprehensive operator training.

  • Scheduled preventative maintenance
  • Wear parts replaced before failure
  • Skilled, experienced, manufacturer-trained engineers
  • Comprehensive operator training
  • Employed by us, not subcontracted
  • Remote monitoring and agreed SLAs

FAQs

Production print, your questions answered

What is production print?

Production print covers the high-volume, high-quality devices used by in-house print rooms, central reprographics departments (CRDs) and commercial printers, from digital colour presses such as Canon imagePRESS to high-speed mono and inkjet platforms like varioPRINT. It is a different discipline from office printing, with colour accuracy, finishing and uptime at its core.

When does in-house production print make sense?

If your organisation regularly outsources brochures, reports, exam papers, marketing collateral or client documents, bringing production in-house can cut turnaround from days to hours and reduce cost per job. A production print assessment compares your outsourced spend with the cost of running the right device in-house.

Which production devices do you supply?

As a Canon Platinum Partner we supply and support Canon production hardware, including the imagePRESS colour press range and varioPRINT mono and inkjet platforms, matched to your volumes, media and finishing requirements.

How do you keep production devices running?

Production environments cannot wait, so we service pre-emptively. Devices are monitored remotely and visited on a preventative schedule, with wear parts replaced before they fail. Our highly skilled, experienced engineers are manufacturer-trained on every press we install, and agreed SLAs sit behind everything.

Can you manage colour accuracy and consistency?

Yes. We profile and calibrate every production device, building ICC colour profiles for the media you run and maintaining them throughout the contract, so output stays accurate and consistent between runs and between devices, essential for brand work, proofs and colour-critical publishing.

What is variable data printing (VDP)?

Variable data printing personalises each piece within a single print run, changing names, text, offers or imagery from a data file, so a thousand mailers can be a thousand individual documents. The same data can also drive cross-channel communications across print, email and digital. We set up the VDP workflow and provide comprehensive operator training, so your team can run personalised work in-house.
