Print Solutions
TCW Solutions has invested in a Canon varioPrint iX3200 to replace its lithographic production process. The quality output offered by the new Canon device will support the company’s goal to increase its market share.
TCW Solutions, which has built a reputation for providing a reliable and high quality printing service, has been able to increase its production capability at its site in Wrotham, Kent, with the varioPrint iX at its core. The investment will strengthen the company’s existing capacity to deliver high volume personalised mailing projects for the financial and retail sectors. By transferring its traditionally lithographic print runs to inkjet, the company will be able to benefit from enhanced automation, productivity, and flexibility. This will particularly support the production of gaming sleeves for point of sale applications.
Thanks to Canon iX technologies, which facilitate reliable high speed inkjet printing, TCW has been able to enjoy quality that rivals any other established print technology. With true 1200 dpi printheads and advanced colour management, the company can print on a range of coated and uncoated media with consistent precision. The innovative ink and printhead technology can achieve 91% reproduction of Pantone spot colours, having been verified by certifications from Fogra. These have enabled the business to take its print services to the next level for its customers and continue to meet their ever evolving needs.
A further consideration when selecting the varioPrint iX was the environmental and sustainability credentials of the device. The iX uses less power consumption per page and uses water based ink, which has a very high deinkability rating. This is fundamental to a sustainable paper recycling process and minimises its impact on the environment.
Director Tom Lipman commented, ‘We are delighted to continue working with Canon. Over the years, we have had all types of different toner based machines but have never known reliability like that of the varioPrint iX. As one of the fastest print companies in the market, we are excited for the new device to push us even further to offer our customers bespoke high quality products with even more competitive turnaround times.’
