Pennsylvania-based commercial print provider and distributor Alcom has announced the installation of a new HP PageWide Advantage 2200 Web Press. The high-performance commercial printing solution balances speed, quality and affordability whilst being designed to deliver exceptional print quality for low and high-volume applications.
Acquiring an HP Inkjet Web Press, Alcom combines HP’s cutting-edge technology with its deep expertise in commercial integrated marketing communications, offering customized solutions for print management and direct mail marketing. The HP PageWide Advantage 2200 offers ultra-fast printing speeds to handle both small and large-scale projects, making it an ideal acquisition for Alcom when offering quick turnarounds for customers. Built with HP PageWide Thermal Inkjet technology, the digital press offers sharp, vivid and precise results while optimized ink usage reduces operational costs for on demand printing.
Additionally, the HP PageWide Advantage 2200 allows Alcom to reallocate jobs more efficiently by consolidating workflows. According to Alcom, conventional sheet-fed presses traditionally require two employees to control. However, the digital press requires only one to manage a single device. The versatility allows handlers to manage various print jobs, streamline production, and focus on planning, scheduling and customer communication within the overall production process.
“By installing the HP PageWide Advantage 2200, our objective was focused on cost efficiency, productivity and time savings all equating to reduce per-page costs over time. We value our collaboration with HP, as this has enabled us to be flexible and bring products to market faster, accelerate production timelines, optimize our operations, and deliver high-quality solutions. We are entering an exciting new era of high-speed, high-resolution printing, equipping us with the confidence and capabilities to thrive in this dynamic industry” said Don Eichman, President and CEO, Alcom. “We are advancing our inkjet web journey by leveraging tools such as HP PrintOS and HP Smart Workcell Controller, to streamline the delivery of print files, manage workflows and advancements in automation”.
The digital solutions offer an integrated suite of applications to manage and optimize print production and expand print offerings.
Additionally, the HP PageWide Advantage 2200 reduces paper waste by printing only what is required and incorporates energy-saving features contributing to Alcom’s sustainability goals.
“We are delighted Alcom has chosen to collaborate with HP by installing the HP PageWide Advantage 2200,” said Vahaaj Khan, AMS HP PageWide Director of Sales at HP. “Through our collaboration, Alcom recognizes the value of leveraging HP’s solutions to boost efficiency, reduce costs and deliver exceptional customized print to customers.”
By combining HP’s cutting-edge technology and Alcom’s expertise in printing, design, and marketing, the collaboration marks a significant step for Alcom enhancing productivity, reducing environmental impact, and delivering exceptional print for its customers. Working together, underscores a shared commitment to driving innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in the commercial printing industry.
