CHICAGO, Sept. 12, 2017
/PRNewswire/ -- PRINT 17, Booth #2022 -- Building on its
ten years of production printing leadership, Ricoh USA, Inc. today
announced its continued collaboration with customers to pioneer new
solutions to tomorrow's challenges. Edwards Brothers Malloy, OSG
Billing Services and Heeter have each expanded their partnerships
with Ricoh in unique ways as they look to better serve their
respective markets. Edwards Brothers Malloy has enhanced its print
capabilities, traditionally reserved for book printing, to attract
new commercial print customers and create additional revenue
streams. OSG has significantly grown its ability to handle
high-quality, high-volume jobs, operating simultaneously in several
locations. Heeter leverages Ricoh's expertise with inkjet and
sheet-fed products, as well as offering vibrant, consistent color
to clients across various channels and devices through the use of
Ricoh Color Management Services. These three successes demonstrate
Ricoh's unique approach to partnerships centered on tailored
solutions that address customers' unique business environments and
desired outcomes.
"Seeing these successes grouped together does so much to
highlight our commitment to building strong partnerships by
listening to our customers, and tailoring solutions to meet their
needs," said Jeff Paterra, Executive
Vice President, Commercial & Industrial Printing Business
Group, Ricoh Americas. "Whether businesses are building on a strong
track record, looking for expert guidance to get to the next step,
or trying to pivot to an entirely new customer base, we encourage
them to take a look at Ricoh. Our team approaches each conversation
as a two-way street, so we can put our expertise to work for their
unique needs. Our partners' insight is an integral part of how we
decide to grow and develop our portfolio – and these three industry
leaders are examples of just that."
Edwards Brothers Malloy, a well-established book manufacturer,
turned to long-time partner Ricoh when it wanted to add to its
offerings and further extend its direct marketing capabilities. In
addition to the InfoPrint 5000 Edwards Brothers Malloy depends on
for book printing, the printer has added a RICOH Pro VC60000. By
collaborating closely with Ricoh, Edwards Brothers Malloy has found
the RICOH Pro VC60000 implementation to be a success. Demand
continues to grow for the company's added commercial print services
so quickly that it is considering installing a second RICOH Pro
VC60000 platform to further expand their new revenue stream.
OSG, a leading provider of integrated multi-channel print and
electronic solutions, has experienced a business boom while
partnering with Ricoh, and as a result the company has added a
fourth RICOH Pro VC60000 to keep up with volume needs across OSG's
sites nationwide. It is the first American company to implement the
RICOH Pro VC60000. Now, with the addition of its fourth, OSG has
put growth in motion, allowing it to meet more customers' demands
and complete higher volume jobs more quickly, as well as adding
redundancy to help handle higher volumes across multiple sites and
improve uptime.
Heeter, an innovative commercial printer that has consistently
grown with Ricoh in recent years, turned once again to their
production print partner to help ensure color consistency in its
campaigns. The commercial printer utilizes multiple communications
channels and print devices to deliver their clients' messages, and
consistency across all of these is imperative to success. Utilizing
Ricoh's Color GAP Analysis has helped the commercial printer
uncover existing strengths and opportunities for improvement, and
identify specific color management goals and how best to achieve
them. With Ricoh's Color Management Services specialists, Heeter
has been able to more confidently assure clients they can provide
crisp, consistent color for client messaging, no matter which
device or channel it originates from.
"Campaign color consistency is paramount to success," said
John Fulena, Vice President,
Commercial & Industrial Printing Business Group, Ricoh
USA, Inc. "Inconsistent color can
look unprofessional, and cost time and money. We are happy to
report that Heeter is one of the best-performing companies we have
ever partnered with for Color GAP Analysis. Its results in our
accuracy and consistency tests are fantastic, which provides
excellent peace of mind for its clients who want to ensure a strong
brand and effective messaging."
