State-of-the-art color production system enables commercial printing company
to better meet customer digital printing needs
MALVERN, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
IKON Office Solutions, Inc., a Ricoh company, today announced that GAM Printers,
Inc of Sterling, Virginia, has installed a RICOH Pro C900 digital color printer,
giving them the versatility, superior quality and fast turnaround times needed
to meet their customers` wide range of variable data and creative design and
printing needs.
Serving the Washington D.C./Northern Virginia area for 32 years, GAM specializes
in creating business-related print materials for medium-to large-sized
businesses - everything from stationery and business forms to brochures,
newsletters, posters and promotional products. GAM also offers full graphic
design, bindery and finishing, and mailing and fulfillment services, making them
a true "one-stop shop" for their customers` visual communication needs.
"At GAM, we understand how critical printed materials are to our customers`
ability to promote their products and services," explains Nathaniel Grant,
President, GAM Printers. "Having provided quality design, printing and mailing
services for 32 years, GAM provides our customers with everything they need to
move their visual communication projects from concept to delivery."
As part of their ability to meet customer needs, GAM recently purchased a RICOH
Pro C900, which provides them with versatile imaging with exceptional color.
"Digital printing produces smaller quantities of high-resolution color, and is
an important and ever-growing segment in the commercial print market," says
Grant. "The RICOH Pro C900 gives us the ability to design creative, targeted,
customized solutions, including flyers, postcards, and brochures, all at an
attractive price point for our customers."
Engineered to meet the demanding needs of the production print environment, the
RICOH Pro C900 represents an advance in efficiency and productivity, combining
consistent 1200 dpi output with 90 pages-per-minute speed. It utilizes Ricoh`s
new image processing technology for unsurpassed quality and quick turnaround
times, and can handle a wide range of media, including weight ranges up to 110
lb. cover. Its modular design enables a number of input and output
configurations, and it offers many production tools for advanced page
programming requirements, such as tabs, inserts, covers and chapter breaks.
"The color quality of the RICOH Pro C900 is simply outstanding," says Grant.
"We`ve really put the machine through its paces, and it has come through every
time. The registration on the RICOH Pro C900 is simply unbelievable. We have
never had an image press that can register 100# paper on both sides without a
problem. People cannot tell the difference between the quality of its output
versus offset print. Our customers have been thrilled with its results."
The RICOH Pro C900 is designed to have extremely low maintenance requirements,
and is backed by IKON`s team of locally based service and support professionals,
along with a team of color and production specialists. IKON has many years of
experience in meeting and exceeding the demands of corporate print centers and
commercial print businesses. In addition, IKON customers can maximize their
color solutions by engaging with IKON`s color and production specialists, and
its Professional Services team, who can provide customers with a suite of
services and application development, including variable data integration for
marketing and personalized communications, advanced color management, forms
design, data stream conversion and custom workflow solutions to help improve
productivity, reduce turnaround time, and increase effectiveness.
It is this kind of support that led GAM to purchase their RICOH Pro C900 through
IKON. "We are a first-time IKON customer, and from the beginning, IKON has been
with us every step of the way, from our decision to purchase the RICOH Pro C900
through the delivery, set up and training," says Grant. "The service side of
IKON has been impressive as well. Our service technicians are incredibly
responsive and they are very knowledgeable about the RICOH Pro C900."
"With its superior quality, high speeds and state-of-the-art workflow
applications, the RICOH Pro C900 sets a new standard in color digital print
quality and productivity," explains Spencer Adamson, Vice President, Production
Solutions and Commercial Print, IKON Office Solutions. "It is a terrific
solution for customers like GAM, who utilize it for the creative design and
efficient production of the materials they create for their customers to
communicate and market their businesses."
"The RICOH Pro C900 has helped our customers utilize color in their visual
communications where they only used black and white before," says Grant. "It
gives us more options to fulfill our customers` printing and marketing solutions
needs at more attractive prices than ever before."
