The Quantum Group, a trusted expert in direct marketing and business communications services, is continuing its investment in innovative new technologies to better serve its customer base with the purchase of a Canon ProStream 1800 inkjet web press. The addition of the ProStream adds to Quantum Group’s extensive line of digital and offset printing equipment.

Cheryl Kahanec, CEO of Quantum Group, said, “Our client’s printing and mailing programs have become more complex. Today’s campaigns feature vivid imagery, dynamic content and higher degrees of variability printed on unique formats and substrates. The ProStream sets a new benchmark for inkjet quality, with a color gamut beyond offset standards.

“As a forward-thinking company, we continuously evaluate the benefits of the latest technologies with a view to not only enhance our current services, but also to deliver something new and unique,” explained Kahanec. “We quickly realized that Canon’s solution offers just that and could take our digital printing services to the next level.”

Last June, Chanhassen, Minnesota-based IWCO Direct announced a two-year, $50 million expansion plan, the largest in the 52-year history of the the direct marketing solutions provider. Part of those expenditures includes the installation of high-speed inkjet printing presses, largely in response to changing direct mail client needs for more highly personalized, data-driven campaigns, produced in shorter runs with rapid turn times. This new omnichannel market reality has also required IWCO Direct CEO John Ashe and his executive team to make difficult decisions about how to optimize the company's existing production facilities and remove excess capacity. As part of this, the 330 workers employed at IWCO Direct's Little Falls, Minn., lithographic printing, letter shop, and commingling plant were told last week that the 200,000-sq.-ft., leased facility — located 100 miles north of Minneapolis in a town of 8,500 residents nestled along the banks of the Mississippi River — will close by Jan. 2, 2022.
