• Additional focus in label and packaging work as well as other new developing market segments

As a distinguished trade-only offset printer serving customers throughout North America, Najib Jamal, president of Prodigy Graphics, understands the loyal nature, commitment, and strong partnership that exists between his commercial print shop and his base of brokers and resellers. Quality, fast turnaround, and customer service are what have set his successful business apart for several decades.

Another key factor in the firm's success is its commitment to operating modern equipment. Soon, its 75,000 sq ft red brick facility in an office park north of Toronto will be taking delivery of two new Koenig & Bauer presses: a Rapida 106 four-color plus coater and a Rapida 106 eight-color plus coater and perfector.

“Our guiding mantra, and the foundation of our enduring success, is to consistently meet and exceed the objectives of our clientele,” states Jamal. “Print resellers across both the Greater Toronto Area and the wider North American market recognize that when a project is time-critical, Prodigy manages it with meticulous attention to detail. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, high caliber production and swift turnarounds are absolute certainties. Furthermore, our clients share an excellent rapport with our team, providing them with total reassurance that their work receives our undivided attention.

Both new presses are equipped with Koenig & Bauer’s market-leading automation, incorporating inline quality and content control alongside comprehensive performance reporting on all job parameters. These advanced features are set to significantly enhance production efficiencies and unlock additional capacity.”

Prodigy’s enduring success is built upon a singular, guiding principle: it does not merely meet its clients’ objectives—it consistently exceeds them.

For print resellers across the Greater Toronto Area and the wider North American market, Prodigy is the definitive partner for time-critical operations. The firm understands that in a fast-paced industry, urgency must never compromise precision. That is why every project it undertakes is executed with meticulous attention to detail.

By combining state-of-the-art print technology with a highly skilled, deeply committed team, Prodigy ensures that premium quality and swift turnarounds are absolute certainties. Its clients enjoy a direct, transparent rapport with its specialists, offering total reassurance that their work always receives Prodigy’s undivided attention.

“While we were well-acquainted with alternative sheetfed press manufacturers, Koenig & Bauer had long been on our radar,” states Jamal. “When we commenced our market research, we noted the exemplary testimonials Koenig & Bauer had received from across the commercial printing sector. Consequently, I commissioned my pressroom manager and head printer to attend a demonstration at a Canadian facility. They returned entirely unequivocal, insisting upon Koenig & Bauer. Their recommendation was driven not only by the superior build quality of the machinery but, crucially, by the presence of a dedicated team of Canadian specialists capable of supporting our operations both now and in the future.”

With the two new Koenig & Bauer presses on their way, Jamal is confident that he’ll realize a 40% increase in both efficiency and capacity. As for the future, he envisions a host of new opportunities and expanding markets that will arise from this new partnership. In the meantime, he’s grateful for his loyal customer base and firmly believes he’ll be able to serve them even better with the new investments.
