Australia’s largest wholesale printer makes its first inkjet investment at drupa with Canon
CMYKhub, the largest wholesale printer in Australia, has made its first investment in inkjet production equipment by signing for two Canon varioPRINT iX3200 cutsheet presses at drupa. The family-owned company produces a vast range of printed products – from business cards, brochures, stationery and calendars to banners, signage & display, labels and packaging – for independent printers, franchise groups, print brokers and managers, advertising agencies and graphic designers. The investment is the culmination of two years’ inkjet research and testing by CMYKhub to find the platform that would best fit their mid-term plans and the needs of their customers.
Dayne Nankervis, CEO of CMYKhub, explains, “We were already a Canon customer as we have a number of their wide format Colorado devices, so had also followed their cutsheet inkjet developments and had the varioPRINT iX3200 on our list as a potential investment. We carefully considered a number of other inkjet printers as well, of course, but after rigorous testing that included factory and customer visits, it became clear that the iX3200 was the press for us. We trust the technology and we see some great benefits – the print quality is exceptionally high with vibrant colours and it’s consistent on every substrate. As a B3 printer, it also delivers an excellent level of productivity. And it’s also so easy to run and has an intuitive user interface. I can understand why it has such high uptime too, as it’s a simple machine designed extraordinarily well.
“We’ll start by running lighter weight, uncoated and document-based stocks through the iX3200 for letterheads, books and textbooks, and in time transition across more higher coverage products, such as leisure books, a sector that we want to break into. For CMYKhub, this purchase in the Canon varioPRINT is our first step into inkjet, but if it works well for our production environment, we could see a further investment in the future.”
Craig Nethercott, Managing Director, Canon Production Printing Oceania, comments, “I’m delighted that CMYKhub, Australia’s leading wholesale printer, has chosen the Canon varioPRINT iX3200 as its first investment in cutsheet inkjet technology. The press is a well tried and tested platform that hundreds of our customers rely on to profitably service the requirements of their customers and I’m confident that it will prove to be the perfect start to their inkjet journey and the catalyst for the next stage in their growth.”
