Print Solutions
Solent Design Studio, a family owned commercial printing company has recently invested in Canon’s imagePress V1350, varioPrint 6180 Titan and Colorado M3W. This new investment has enabled the business to break into the wide format market and unlock further growth, while saving costs.
Solent Design has been providing print solutions to UK businesses and global brands, across many sectors for over 40 years. The new investment with Canon has enabled the company to offer clients an extended service, across a range of diverse products.
Since partnering with Canon in 2016, Solent Design has doubled the size of its business and has expanded its capabilities across all aspects of print. Now offering services in both litho and digital print, as well as wide format production, the company takes pride in delivering an end to end service for its customers.
Looking for ways to unlock further growth, Solent Design has trusted Canon to help diversify its offering. By upgrading to Canon’s imagePress V1350 and varioPrint 6180 Titan, it is now able to offer new services on a more diverse range of media, which has tripled the click rate and brought in new demand; unlocking return on investment as a result.
Looking to generate new streams of revenue, Solent Design has also invested in Canon’s Colorado M3W. This has enabled the business to enter the wide format market, opening up entirely new opportunities in sectors such as labelling and packaging. By producing stunning solid colours without banding on wide format applications, the Colorado M3W was the ideal machine to upgrade its offering for roadside banners and signage. With functional roll change capabilities, they can switch easily between jobs on the Colorado M3W and increase productivity.
Taking the next step in the digital transformation journey, Solent Design is leveraging Canon’s expertise in Management Information Systems. Streamlining the back end of its business and bringing together functions such as order processing and estimating, Solent Design is migrating to the Print Smith Vision MIS software. By reducing touchpoints and increasing efficiency, this new system will provide the company with further cost saving capabilities and capacity.
Martin Reynolds, managing director at Solent Design Studio, commented:
‘We hold our relationship with Canon in high regard, not only for the cutting edge equipment it provides, but for its strong sense of community, made up of industry leaders who are passionate about providing the best possible service and support. As a family run business, we at Solent Design are proud to be part of the extended Canon family.’
