5 Benefits of Inkjet in Production Print

The Treasure Valley technology company will bring its operations under one roof at 1420 E Bird Dog Drive, where site work is now underway

MERIDIAN, Idaho — June 24, 2026 — Allied Business Solutions, a leading managed technology services provider in the Treasure Valley, has announced plans for a new headquarters at 1420 E Bird Dog Drive in Meridian, Idaho. The site sits next to Vertical View Climbing Gym along Interstate 84, between Locust Grove and Overland Road. A construction sign now marks the lot as site preparation gets underway.

The new building will bring Allied's warehouse, distribution center, and company departments together under one roof. It is designed around the parts of the business Allied is investing in most: its managed IT and security services, its growing AI and automation work, and the national distribution of printers, copiers, and multifunction devices through its network of manufacturer partners.

"This building represents everything we have worked toward since day one. We started this company in Boise because we believed in this community, and this community has believed in us. Seeing that sign go up on our new lot is one of the proudest moments in Allied's history."

— Tom Beeles, President and Founder, Allied Business Solutions

5 Benefits of Inkjet in Production Print

3. Efficiency – Inkjet printing can help reduce set-up and changeover times. In contrast to conventional printing, inkjet is non-impact technology. That means it does not require a master or plate to deliver the ink to a substrate. This reduces downtime between jobs and means you’ll realize greater productivity and increased profitability.

4. Print Quality – Today’s inkjet printers deliver resolutions up to 1600 dpi for sharp smooth details comparable to laser output. High-resolution UV inkjet printers and aqueous pigment inkjets offer durability and water fastness improving overall print quality.

5. They are Versatile! – Digital inkjet devices are flexible and can be engineered to handle various substrates, including label stock, corrugated boxes, commercial paper stocks, and more. They can be designed to fit several markets, including label converting, flexible packaging, commercial print, and more. Today’s inkjet technology can meet your production needs better than ever before!

In today’s world, inkjet printing is an essential tool for business to have market differentiation. Reach out to Allied Business Solutions’ production team today to learn more about this empowering technology.
