OfficeMax and Canon U.S.A. Extend Their Relationship to Help Small Businesses Print Big
NAPERVILLE,
Ill., May 07 — It’s no secret that most small businesses have big
dreams, but they also have big printing needs. Promotional banners,
posters and displays are key tools to small businesses, and, in this
case, bigger is definitely better. According to InfoTrends Research
Group, the demand for large printed graphics is expected to grow from
$11 billion to $13 billion by 2011.OfficeMax, a leading
provider of office equipment and services, and Canon (Stock Price Web
Site Related Articles Google) U.S.A., Inc., a world leader in office
imaging systems, ink-jet technology and digital photography, today
extended their relationship to offer color, large-format printing at
OfficeMax ImPress(TM), OfficeMax’s print and document service, using
the Canon imagePROGRAF large format printers, beginning in May.”The
insight into this need comes directly from our customers — they let us
know loud and clear that large format printing is a key necessity,”
said Brian Norris, senior vice president for OfficeMax ImPress. “But
having a bigger printed piece doesn’t mean anything if the quality of
reproduction is poor. Canon’s expertise and world class technology
continues to exceed industry expectations and will enable OfficeMax
ImPress to deliver exceptional quality that will help our customers
design and produce their best work.”Last year, OfficeMax and Canon
announced that OfficeMax would be installing Canon imagePROGRAF® W6400
printers at more than 500 OfficeMax locations. Due to the success of
the original installation, OfficeMax and Canon have agreed to extend
the installation of Canon’s large-format printer to all OfficeMax
locations. Currently OfficeMax is installing imagePROGRAF printers in
the remaining ImPress locations totaling more than 900 OfficeMax
imagePROGRAF installations nationwide.Through the use of Canon software
and the Canon imagePROGRAF W6400 pigment ink printers, OffficeMax
ImPress customers will be able to print high-quality poster-sized
photographic prints, crisp large visual aids and graphs, and
professional customized posters and signage for any occasion. Canon
will also provide OfficeMax ImPress with Canon’s PosterArtist Software
for the simple creation of posters and signage with nearly 200
templates and an extensive catalog of royalty-free images.”The
extension of the Canon-OfficeMax relationship to include all OfficeMax
locations will be a plus for customers and businesses looking to
leverage large-format printing. The use of our award-winning
imagePROGRAF line will allow OfficeMax locations to capitalize upon and
capture the large-format printing opportunities in the market and
create tremendous value for its customers,” said Tod Pike, senior vice
president, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc.To highlight the
new large format service capabilities, OfficeMax has launched a special
promotion in May in conjunction with National Photo Month. From now
through May 31, customers that purchase any digital camera at OfficeMax
will receive a coupon for one free 24″x36″ color poster of their
favorite digital photo (a $29.99 value) at OfficeMax ImPress.OfficeMax
ImPress is OfficeMax’s print and document service operation that serves
businesses and consumers through direct and online sales.
