Whittington Moor Printing Works invests in Canon’s varioPRINT iX3200 to maximise capacity and flexibility

London, UK, 26th July 2024 - Whittington Moor Printing Works, a leading UK provider of bespoke print, distribution and mailing services, has recently invested in Canon’s reliable varioPRINT iX3200 Sheet Feed Inkjet press as a cost-effective system that will increase capacity, efficiency and flexibility to accommodate all run lengths and levels of personalisation.

Having operated for over 90 years, Whittington Moor Printing Works has continued to expand and adapt its business to provide the highest level of customer service. Whittington Moor’s production services now operate 24 hours, five days a week, offering a wide array of products covering Mailing, Litho and Digital print; serving customers across education, healthcare, retail, advertising, travel and government organisations. Whittington Moor Printing Works requires a production workflow that keeps up with its large workload and supports its diverse portfolio.

With its recent investment in its first Canon device - the varioPRINT iX3200 Sheet Feed Inkjet - Whittington Moor Printing Works identified an opportunity to accelerate business growth. The varioPRINT iX3200 leverages the power of inkjet technology, combining stunning image quality and media versatility with high productivity to take the commercial print workflow to the next level. With an average uptime of 90%, and a production rate of 320 A4 images per minute, the Canon varioPRINT ix3200 has enabled Whittington Moor Printing Works to unlock true automation and seamless operation with minimal operator intervention.

Experiencing extremely high demand during the recent election period, the easy-to-use varioPRINT iX3200 equipped Whittington Moor with the ability to deliver double its regular monthly capacity. Canon’s after-sales care team was central to keeping Whittington Moor’s production services on track during this critical point in time. In just a few months, the device has delivered a huge impact on the business during its busiest period as it looks to gear up for further growth.

Paul Gamble, Managing Director at Whittington Moor Printing Works, comments:
“Canon’s support has been instrumental to our recent growth as a business, at a time when we had outgrown our existing digital workflow and were eager to elevate our services and meet customer demands. The recent election period was our busiest season yet, and a true testament to the impact that the varioPRINT iX3200 has had on our operation. During this period, we were able to deliver three times the data’d capacity as usual, and this output was driven predominantly by the production capabilities of the varioPRINT iX3200, and the services provided by the Canon team.”

Stuart Rising, Head of Commercial Print at Canon UK and Ireland, adds: “Working in close partnership with Whittington Moor Printing Works has been an exciting development for us at Canon, as we help them to deliver market-leading services to customers across an extremely diverse portfolio. We look forward to witnessing how the varioPRINT iX3200 continues to unlock new capacity and efficiency for the team at Whittington Moor, so that they can provide customers with truly versatile print, and say yes to any job.”
