Canada’s largest direct marketing, print and fulfillment company, Contac
Services, is better meeting the needs of its clients with two newly added KODAK
NEXPRESS S3000 Digital Production Color Presses and KODAK NEXPRESS Glossing
Units, and Dimensional Printing available as part of KODAK NEXPRESS Fifth
Imaging Unit Solutions. The company is helping deliver its clients’ messages
via high-quality one-to-one communications and marketing materials through its
“Corporate Store Program,” enabled by KODAK Unified Workflow Solutions.
“We’ve entirely automated our process from creation to delivery with
KODAK Solutions and are offering clients the ability to create some very unique
direct marketing materials,” said Riaz Pisani, President and CEO, Contac
Services. “Dimensional Printing has turned out to be an excellent addition to
our business and is helping our clients achieve their goals.”
Contac Services is meeting demand for high-quality personalized materials
with its two KODAK NEXPRESS S3000 Digital Production Color Presses. The S3000
uses press profiling and standard inks to match up to 82 percent of the
PANTONE® spot color gamut with no custom mixing required, which adds
application flexibility.
The KODAK NEXPRESS Fifth Imaging Unit
Solutions offer clear coating, watermarking, glossing, protection coating,
color gamut expansion, and MICR. The Fifth Imaging Unit Solutions also enable
high-impact glossing in conjunction with the KODAK NEXPRESS Glossing Unit. Also
available through the Fifth Imaging Unit Solutions, Dimensional Printing gives
specified text and images a raised or 3D effect to differentiate and add value
to the creative piece. The KODAK NEXPRESS Intelligent Dimensional Coating
Solution and KODAK NEXPRESS Dimensional Clear Dry Ink combine to create the
Dimensional Printing effects. The KODAK NEXPRESS Dimensional Printing System
(or just “Dimensional Printing”) was recently awarded a 2009 InterTech
Technology Award, the highest honor for innovation in the graphic
communications industry.
Tying all elements into a single unified workflow, Contac Services uses
KODAK Unified Workflow Solutions including the KODAK PRINERGY Workflow System
and family of KODAK INSITE Products, as well as three KODAK MATCHPRINT Inkjet
Proofing Systems.
“Kodak’s Unified Workflow Solutions enable us to distribute items and
print on-demand at all of our branch locations. This really saves us time,
increases our volumes and ultimately, increases our ROI,” noted Pisani.
“Utilizing Kodak’s broad portfolio of solutions is really helping us become a
one-stop shop, and we look forward to developing our relationship with Kodak in
the years to come.”
