Canon Solutions America Customer Adds Océ VarioPrint i300 Inkjet Press as Part of Business Growth Strategy

Melville, N.Y. – Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc., today announced the installation of the Océ VarioPrint i300 inkjet color digital press at Digital Express, a commercial printer based in La Vista, Nebraska, offering a full range of printing products and services. Digital Express is the first commercial printer in the greater Omaha area to install an inkjet press in the pay-for-print environment.

“In the few months since we’ve installed the Océ VarioPrint i300, we’ve seen more volume every week, and have begun operating the press around 16 hours a day,” said Sean Graveline, CEO/President, Digital Express. “The i300 has also given us the ability to offer a better solution to those of our customers who want the look of offset but find the cost prohibitive. We have shifted much of our current offset business to the device, saving our customers money, as well as taken on net new business in this area. Adding the i300 to our fleet was part of our growth plan to take us to the higher level of operation we’ve achieved today, and it is enabling us to better serve our customers and stay at the forefront of printing technology.”

“We enjoy working with Digital Express,” said Jan Sammons, Senior Director of Marketing, Godfather’s Pizza, Inc. “They are very customer-centric, turning projects around quickly and providing exceptional quality at a competitive cost. Digital Express helps us deliver information and promotional materials for corporately-owned, as well as franchised locations, across the country, so we can deliver the thick-crust pizzas our customers love.”

“We are so pleased to support Digital Express as they look to grow their business,” said Francis McMahon, Executive Vice President, Production Print Solutions, Canon Solutions America. “Inkjet is a big part of the future of digital production. By adding the Océ VarioPrint i300 to their fleet, Digital Express will be able to capitalize on the growing demand for digital inkjet work.”

Founded in 2005 with the vision of bringing a new look to short run commercial printing, Digital Express provides business-to-business clients, graphic artists, and traditional offset printers a full-service lineup of digital production, including commercial and corporate printing, bindery, finishing, and mail services. The company is independently owned and operates a 24-hour secure production facility to ensure the safety and confidentiality of documents. The company works with a wide range of clients, including advertising and marketing agencies, hospitals, healthcare companies, local businesses, and national corporations.
