United Kingdom – Intec Printing Solutions Limited and Canon, world leaders in digital imaging, are pleased to announce a new partnership providing Canon customers with niche envelope printing requirements.

When ‘ABC Imaging’, one of Canon’s key accounts, required a dedicated digital envelope printing system Canon looked beyond their own world class portfolio and identified that Intec had developed the perfect system to meet their client’s exact needs!

About ABC Imaging

ABC Imaging is a global company with more than 33 branches worldwide and provides print solutions and digital document management services to a wide range of market sectors.

Investing heavily in Canon hardware and services, they had a need to produce high quality envelopes and turned to Canon for advice. Canon recommended the Intec CS4600 Envelope Printing System, and ABC Imaging therefore visited the Intec showroom in Poole, Dorset and brought with them, a range of envelope samples for testing – and were very impressed with what they saw.

The Intec CS4600XF ran all the samples with no issues and could also print C4 lengthways increasing throughput to over 900 envelopes per hour. Running plain and window DL was equally impressive with speeds of around 3,500 envelopes an hour, in full colour.

ABC Imaging were shown how easy it was to disconnect the specialist envelope feeder, away from the main print engine and print multi-media applications up to 400gsm and 1,321mm in length allowing banner, landscape A4 and multi-page fan-fold applications.

“ABC had a specific need to print onto a wide range of envelopes and needed the additional applications offered by Intec’s unique CS4600XF solution. The system excels at producing the expected variety and range of short run jobs covering circa 30,000 + envelopes per month,” states Kerry Button, Intec Sales Director (Europe).

The Intec CS4600XF and CS5600XF are the most cost-effective, productive and flexible solutions for short run 4 and 5 colour on demand envelope applications. ABC Imaging expect to be running around 30,000 envelopes each month and this will continue to grow as more customers take advantage of the new service.

“During our initial discussions with Canon it was obvious there was a synergy and our solutions would work in total harmony,” says Kerry Button Intec Sales Director (Europe). “There is no doubt that where appropriate, by including our products as part of their overall solution, Canon add even more value and allow their customers to enter new lucrative and less competitive markets which are currently demonstrating strong growth.”
