Victor Buck Services installs Luxembourg’s first web-fed printer in partnership with Canon
Luxembourg, November 5th 2024 — Victor Buck Services (VBS), a leader in document outsourcing services, is proud to announce the installation of the Canon ColorStream 8133, the first continuous-feed web-fed inkjet printer in Luxembourg. This is a significant milestone in the country’s document management landscape and reinforces VBS’s commitment to delivering top-tier printing solutions to its clients.
A Partnership for Excellence
The installation of the Canon ColorStream 8133 at Victor Buck Services is the result of a fruitful partnership between VBS and Canon, a global leader in imaging and optical products. This collaboration underscores VBS’s ongoing dedication to leveraging cutting-edge technology to meet the evolving needs of its clients, offering them unparalleled quality, speed, and sustainability in print communications. This partnership began in 2020, when VBS became the first company in Luxembourg to commission the varioPRINT iX3200 from Canon.
“The varioPRINT iX3200 has served VBS exceptionally well, particularly for high-quality cutsheet printing”, says Arnauld Wulgaert, Chief Operating Officer at Victor Buck Services. “The addition of the ColorStream 8133 reflects our proactive approach to enhancing colour quality, capacity, advancing sustainability, and maintaining a competitive advantage in the digital printing industry.”
Unmatched Print Quality for Premium Communications
In today’s competitive market, the quality of transactional communications plays a crucial role in brand perception. The Canon ColorStream 8133 excels in producing high-quality colour documents that are essential for creating a strong brand image, particularly for premium products and services. With this advanced printer, VBS can now offer its clients superior print quality – including a 1200 dpi print resolution – that enhances their high-end positioning and sets them apart in the market of digital printing.
“At Canon we continuously aim to future-proof our customers”, adds Frank Huigen, Director Production Printing Products Benelux at Canon. “As the print industry continues to evolve, having a diverse range of advanced printing solutions ensures that Victor Buck Services is well-equipped to adapt to new trends and demands. This investment provides VBS with the versatility needed to remain agile and responsive in a rapidly changing market.”
The Lasting Impact of Print Communications
As businesses increasingly turn to digital channels, the unique advantages of print communications remain undeniable. Print materials consistently achieve higher open rates and deeper engagement compared to digital alternatives. According to WARC and JICMAIL studies, 95% of consumers open, read and/or fill physical mail. The presence of mail in the home also means a record-breaking frequency of exposure: 4.4 interactions on average. With the installation of the Canon ColorStream 8133, Victor Buck Services is positioned to deliver even more effective print communications, ensuring that their clients’ messages are not only seen but also remembered.
Fast and Flexible High-Volume Printing
The Canon ColorStream 8133 is engineered to handle large volumes with remarkable speed and precision. Its printing speed reaches 133 meters per minute, which equals more than the length of a football field or translates to 1,790 A4 pages (duplex) printed in one minute. This capability allows Victor Buck Services to efficiently manage high-demand print jobs, meeting all client needs, even under tight deadlines. The enhanced flexibility offered by this continuous-feed printer ensures that VBS can quickly adapt to various client requirements, whether it’s an urgent request or a large-scale project.
Commitment to Sustainability and Reduced Environmental Impact
In addition to its superior performance, the Canon ColorStream 8133 is designed with sustainability in mind. This state-of-the-art printer minimizes paper waste inherent to printing activities, notably through a pause system that can be activated during the print jobs. Its energy consumption is also lower than other similar models on the market, thanks in part to an adaptive drying technology that adjusts based on ink coverage. These improvements align perfectly with the corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals of Victor Buck Services and its clients. By investing in eco-friendly technology, VBS aims at helping clients achieve their sustainability objectives while maintaining the highest standards of print quality.
