CASE STUDY

Impressa impresses with new flexibility

Versatile business

Commercial print service provider Impressa provides promotional, office and industrial material, including Point Of Sale collateral in shops. Producing this retail material often involves diverse requirements, large variations in run sizes, and demand for fast turnaround.

Meeting retail demand

As well as creating a lot of print waste, Impressa's traditional offset presses were slow and expensive for lower-volume print jobs. Plus, retail customers were kept waiting for the print run to dry – not ideal in the fast-moving retail space.

The company needed a new digital print solution that could rise to the challenge by processing varied-size print runs fast and for the right price.



WHEN WE LOOKED AT WIDE FORMAT PRINTERS, WE HAD A REALLY GOOD FEELING ABOUT CANON.

All-round digital print solution

After a consultation and recommendation from Canon, Impressa invested in the ColorWave 700. The new digital print solution didn’t take long to make a positive impression, quickly and effectively tackling high-quality print jobs of any size, in colour or black and white.

Delivering rapid, flexible and cost-effective print jobs on-demand revolutionised the company’s service portfolio. After only six months Impressa bought a second Canon device to completely evolve the business’s print capability.

More work, less waste

Printing smarter with the ColorWave 700 means the company’s workload has increased by 15-20%. Impressa also achieved its calculated return on investment in just three months.

With the technology running itself, the new digital print solution has taken the pressure off staff and helped to dramatically cut waste levels – an important benefit for a business that is passionate about caring for the environment.

Inspired to consider exciting new applications, Impressa has begun testing around wallpaper, which is now a real possibility for the future.
