The Printing Office (TPO) is a Brisbane based commercial printer committed to providing its customers with the highest quality prints with the smallest environmental impact. Established in 1985, TPO specialises in the large volume printing of goods from corporate brochures and annual reports through to flyers, mailers and stationery items.

"We are really pleased that the Canon product range has helped us remain committed to our green principles – a major component of our business strength. We are doing more prints, with less time and with less impact on the environment."

As a central hub for the printing needs of a very large user base, UTS Printing & Imaging Services needs to offer a wide range of printing solutions and products to fit the changing requirements of a large organisation. To further enhance the services offered to the university community it looked to Canon.

"The Canon imagePRESS C7000VP has allowed UTS Printing & Imaging Services to provide its clients with a superior product that previously had to be outsourced."

Inky’s is a small operation, employing a staff of seven employees, including manager Jonathan Hawkins. According to Hawkins, this further enhances the need for reliable, quick printing equipment to maintain productivity and increase business.

According to Hawkins, after installing the imagePRESS C7000VP, Inky’s output has grown tremendously, allowing the company to easily manage their current accounts, acquire new business and bring projects back inhouse.

"We looked at the imagePRESS C7000VP and it fit exactly what we were looking for... the ability to use conventional gloss offset stocks as well as textured paper and carded stocks also was a big plus. We’ve also taken on a lot of other work, producing what we used to outsource at offset-quality."

Printing Money – smart technology that facilitates sales growth

As most printers will agree, in today’s competitive market static customer retention is not an ideal state, they need to be adding value to customers by exploring new opportunities with them and growing the business relationship. This is a two-way street in that it brings in the dollars, but also gives customers fresh new print items and in some cases reduces their need for different print suppliers.

imagePRESS users can run a wide variety of digital and offset stocks through their presses, allowing them to offer new types of output, both corporate and creative. Additional services such as web-to-print also provide printers with simple, quick re-ordering options for their customers.

At the end of a three month trip around India in 2008, I had gathered over 54,000 images, all shot with the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II digital SLR and Canon EF lenses.

Capturing India

With India being an extremely vibrant continent, the resulting photographs carried a very rich colour palette. For several months, the image selection and editing process focused on preserving this richness whilst presenting the many eye-opening facets of life in India.
