IWCO Direct

IWCO Direct and Canon Solutions America hosted an open house to debut new inkjet presses in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

Last week, Canon Solutions America held a special inkjet event at one of its best customers, IWCO Direct in Chanhassen, Minnesota. IWCO Direct produces millions of letters a month as part of direct mail campaigns for many major brands. The variable component of these campaigns is printed and finished on a range of equipment including Canon Océ monochrome toner and color inkjet offerings.

IWCO Direct is the first U.S. installation of a cut-sheet Canon Océ VarioPrint i300 and a continuous Océ ImageStream 3500 inkjet press.

The good news? There are no price increases on tap for January. The bad news? Not much else has changed. The opportunity? Align yourself even more effectively with direct marketing clientele, using a multitude of integrated channels, to keep direct mail fresh, vibrant and relevant. And we have three of the nation's top print producers of direct mail to elaborate on the subject.
