New equipment enables new applications for customer solutions<\/em><\/p>\n

MELVILLE, N.Y., February 18, 2015\u00a0\u2013<\/em> Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon\u00a0U.S.A., Inc., today announced that Data-Mail, Inc., a Connecticut-based direct mail production company\u00a0has expanded its robust fleet of offset and digital printing equipment to include an Oc\u00e9 ColorStream\u00ae\u00a03900 full-color inkjet printing system, part of the Oc\u00e9 ColorStream 3000 Series.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1971 as a full service print and mail processing company, Data-Mail has grown to become\u00a0one of the nation\u2019s largest direct mail companies, producing over five million mail pieces daily. Data-Mail\u00a0provides in-house services for all aspects of direct mail production for some of the largest companies\u00a0and advertising agencies in the country, including Blue Chip companies in financial services, retail,\u00a0publishing, healthcare, insurance, telecom, and high tech.<\/p>\n

As part of its commitment to innovation, Data-Mail was an early adopter of high-speed color inkjet\u00a0technology. In 2011, the company partnered with Canon Solutions America on the acquisition and\u00a0installation of an Oc\u00e9 JetStream\u00ae 2200 inkjet printing system. As demand for high-speed variable color\u00a0continued to grow, Data-Mail installed another Oc\u00e9 JetStream printer in 2012.<\/p>\n

To further support their customers\u2019 growing demand for even more creative personalized color print\u00a0application development, the company added an Oc\u00e9 ColorStream 3900 high-volume inkjet printer to its\u00a0production fleet in 2014.<\/p>\n

According to Bruce Mandell, president of Data-Mail, the Oc\u00e9 JetStream 2200 presses got their\u00a0customers thinking about new applications that pushed the boundaries of full-color, personalized, and\u00a0customized print production. \u201cAs clients were introduced to high-speed color personalization, they\u00a0started envisioning new applications, which created the need for full-color personalized print\u00a0production\u00a0 and short-run application testing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Oc\u00e9 ColorStream 3900 inkjet printing system proved to be the right fit with its extreme reliability,\u00a0consistency, fast cleaning technology, and capability to run its twin engines independently. In addition,\u00a0the press ramps up to color production speeds very quickly, making small runs more cost effective. \u201cFull-color personalization is a new and evolving market,\u201d said Mandell. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about introducing an\u00a0exciting new technology to our clients; it\u2019s about being confident in our ability to deliver. That\u2019s why we\u00a0installed an Oc\u00e9 ColorStream 3900 printing system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since its installation, the digital press has already enabled new applications that allow Data-Mail to\u00a0produce direct mail packages with full-color personalized and customized printing not only on the\u00a0internal components but throughout the piece, including on the outside of the package.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not a creative agency, yet we are actually designing specific applications and collaborating with\u00a0our customers,\u201d said Mandell. \u201cWhen you have a new technology, everybody has to work together to\u00a0find the right applications that are going to improve the customer\u2019s ROI. Having the ability and capacity\u00a0to provide high-speed variable full-color personalization on three machines is powerful and allows us to\u00a0compete by providing our customers with even more value to each and every printed piece,\u201d said\u00a0Mandell.<\/p>\n

Changing technology is one of the reasons Data-Mail began its partnership with Canon Solutions\u00a0America. After over 20 years and more than 20 Canon\/Oc\u00e9 printing systems on the production room\u00a0floor, the trusted partnership still exists. \u201cWhen we decided to begin the transition to high-speed color\u00a0inkjet, we knew we had a lot to learn, and we wanted to learn from the best,\u201d said Andy Mandell, Data-Mail\u2019s Chairman. \u201cAs technology continues to change, you want to partner with someone you know is\u00a0going to understand it and help you with client applications. We push Canon Solutions America hard,\u00a0and they always come through for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
