The Canon Océ VarioPrint i300
Canon’s flagship high speed sheetfed inkjet press, the Océ VarioPrint i300, has been purchased by investment company Standard Life.
Standard Life’s in-house print and mail facility generates 95 million print images and 10 million mailings every year. The investment in the Canon VarioPrint technology means that the company will be able to deliver more consistent, engaging customer communication materials across print and online.
Martin Berkley, head of business solutions at Standard Life, said, ‘The Canon Océ VarioPrint i300 allows us to meet the changing and varied demands of our business and provide better solutions internally to cover the differing quality requirements across the company. Adding this new technology to our current capabilities will play a key part in enabling us to provide a more effective and efficient solution in our communications with our customers.’
Craig Nethercott, commercial print group director, Canon UK, said, ‘We are excited about the impact that the VarioPrint i300 will have in supporting Standard Life’s customer communication strategy. The VarioPrint i300 is the only product on the market that bridges the speed and capacity gap that exists between conventional high end toner-based cut sheet printers and entry level continuous feed inkjet presses. It will greatly improve the capability and efficiency of the in-house print function within Standard Life.’
The Canon Océ VarioPrint i300 went into live production at Standard Life’s headquarters in Edinburgh at the end of March.
