Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon
U.S.A., Inc., today announced an advancement in its ongoing
strategic relationship with DMS ink, a full-service direct mail
marketing company located in Dayton, OH. The installation of the
Océ VarioPrint i300 and Océ ColorStream 3900 color digital presses
in the DMS ink facility serves to expand their available services
to their customer base, and illustrates Canon Solutions America's
ongoing commitment to advancing customers' print output through
cutting-edge inkjet technologies.
DMS ink, originally known as Dayton Mailing Services, was
founded in 1983. The company has thrived in the direct mail space
for more than 30 years through its ability to adapt, staying at the
forefront of the industry with cutting-edge concepts and solutions
while serving a dynamic customer base. Since its inception, DMS ink
has been known throughout the region for providing best-in-class
mailing services and handling its customer projects from design to
distribution. With a team of dedicated professionals, the direct
mail marketing leader helps a wide range of businesses including
healthcare, financial, retail, insurance, and many others, to
reduce their costs by offering unique capabilities that go beyond
industry benchmarks.
As successful and reliable as DMS ink may be within the mail
marketing business landscape, to put an emphasis solely on those
capabilities would be a disservice to a company that has recently
expanded its operations to include leading data services and
digital print offerings. Over the last five years, the Ohio-based
full printing and fulfillment center has grown into a prosperous
digital print provider that now boasts some of the most
game-changing technologies redefining the industry. This transition
began in early 2005 when DMS ink began its shift from a traditional
letter shop to a variable data printing provider, and is most
recently represented by the company's acquisition of the Océ
VarioPrint i300 sheet-fed inkjet press and the Océ ColorStream 3900
inkjet press. Since the arrival of these advanced presses, the
early adopter of inkjet has opened the doors to even broader
business opportunities.
"I cannot stress enough the level of activity and excitement
within DMS ink as we continue our migration to a critical document
company with state-of-the-art digital print capabilities," said
Christine Soward, president and owner of DMS ink, whose commitment
to innovation and emerging technologies has grown the company's
revenue by double digits over the last several years. "The
enthusiasm around our company is perhaps best highlighted by our
purchase of what we feel is the product that will lead the charge
in the industry-wide inkjet movement, the Océ VarioPrint i300."
When DMS ink went to market for an answer to its crucial digital
print needs, it specifically searched for improvements in print
quality and a press that could provide commercial-type color at
transactional-type costs. With a commitment to innovation, Soward
and her team put an equal focus on finding a digital press that
could help diversify their client roster and overall offerings
while handling new and more diverse applications with an eye toward
profitability. Additionally, DMS ink knew that with the emergence
of new inkjet technologies, there was an answer to its ongoing
quest to break down the barriers it was finding that pertained to
offset printing, short-run jobs, postal optimization, one-on-one
personalized communications, and the ability to maximize
uptime.
"The new Océ products have allowed us to run jobs at an
unbelievable rate and with incredible quality," added Jim Hoffman,
vice president of Business Development at DMS ink. "Of course you
always want to get the most out of your investment, and with the
Océ VarioPrint i300 and Océ ColorStream 3900 we can now fully
leverage our finishing capabilities, which has resulted in
heightened efficiency and automated workflows. Our core goal of
becoming less of a mail house and more of a strategic partner has
been greatly enhanced with the print functionality we now have with
our newest acquisitions."
Built to allow its users the ability to grow within a market
that is evolving rapidly, the Océ VarioPrint i300 bridges the gap
between the application flexibility and efficiency of sheet-fed
presses and the economy and productivity of web-fed systems,
without compromising quality. As witnessed by DMS ink, the digital
press was designed to offer premium quality output with proven
inkjet productivity and flexibility. Operating as the ideal
complement to this leading press is the Océ ColorStream 3900 full
color inkjet printer. Recognized as one of the fastest growing
inkjet presses in the industry, its production and media
flexibility enables a simplified transition of applications and
business models to more sophisticated documents with variable
personalization and smarter communication in color.
"With the confluence of new technologies and the ever-apparent
shift to inkjet, we have dedicated ourselves to finding the best
way for our customers to accelerate the offset-to-digital print
migration with products that will set the bar for the inkjet
movement," said Francis A. McMahon, senior vice president,
Marketing, Production Print Solutions, Canon Solutions America.
"However, none of that is possible without feedback from our valued
customers like DMS ink, which allows us to modify the technology to
best fit their business goals and prepare them for expansive
growth."
The collaboration between Canon Solutions America and DMS ink
did not end with the installation of the Océ VarioPrint. With the
intention to migrate the rest of its inkjet products and to further
enhance its workflow, DMS ink additionally implemented the Océ
PRISMAproduction print workflow and output management system. This
addition is set to provide DMS ink with the ability to create a
unified platform for mid to high volume, high speed printing for
its entire production print fleet.
"This is very much a time of change and growth here at DMS ink,
and we could not be more excited to experience that growth
alongside Canon Solutions America," added Soward. "The future looks
bright for DMS ink and our customers!"
