Print Solutions

Whittington Moor Printing Works has invested in Canon’s varioPrint iX3200 sheetfed inkjet press as a cost effective system that will increase capacity, efficiency and flexibility to accommodate all run lengths and levels of personalisation.

Having operated for over 90 years, Whittington Moor Printing Works has continued to expand and adapt its business to provide the highest level of customer service. Its production services now operates 24 hours, five days a week, offering a wide array of products covering mailing, litho and digital print; serving customers across education, healthcare, retail, advertising, travel and government organisations.

With its recent investment in its first Canon device, Whittington Moor Printing Works identified an opportunity to accelerate business growth. The varioPrint iX3200 leverages the power of inkjet technology, combining image quality and media versatility with high productivity to take the commercial print workflow to the next level. With an average uptime of 90%, and a production rate of 320 A4 images per minute, the device has enabled the company to unlock true automation and seamless operation with minimal operator intervention.

Experiencing extremely high demand during the recent election period, the easy to use varioPrint gave the company the ability to deliver double its regular monthly capacity. Canon’s after sales care team was central to keeping Whittington Moor’s production services on track during this critical point in time. In just a few months, the device has delivered a huge impact on the business during its busiest period as it looks to gear up for further growth.

Paul Gamble, managing director, commented: ‘Canon’s support has been instrumental to our recent growth as a business, at a time when we had outgrown our existing digital workflow and were eager to elevate our services and meet customer demands. The recent election period was our busiest season yet, and a true testament to the impact that the varioPrint iX3200 has had on our operation. During this period, we were able to deliver double our regular monthly capacity, and this output was driven predominantly by the production capabilities of the varioPrint, and the services provided by the Canon team.’
