Multifunction Printers & Digital Copiers

Printing Tips from CEO Tom Beeles

When it's time to replace office equipment, it's common to consider simply upgrading to a newer version of the current machine. However, it's important to evaluate whether the features of your existing equipment truly meet your needs. For example, some printers and copiers can handle 11 by 17-inch paper, while others are limited to standard sizes like letter and legal.

Most businesses rarely use the larger 11 by 17 size, so investing in a machine with this capability might not be necessary. Instead, you could opt for a more cost-effective option that offers the same integrations and features, such as large paper drawers and reliable paper handling, without the additional expense.

To make an informed decision, consult your Allied salesperson to determine your actual usage needs. This can help you avoid unnecessary costs and ensure that 99 percent of your work, which likely involves standard paper sizes, is handled efficiently and effectively. By carefully assessing your requirements, you can choose equipment that provides the best value and functionality for your office.

The Future of Print with Epson Printers

The future of printing lies in the innovative use of ink, and Epson has been at the forefront of this revolution with its Epson Workforce Series. These printers have transformed the industry by offering simplicity, intelligence, and eco-friendliness, making them an excellent choice for businesses of all sizes.

Simplicity

Epson’s Workforce Series printers are designed to be user-friendly and efficient. Unlike traditional toner-based machines, these printers lack many complex parts such as drums and fuses. The absence of these components, coupled with the advanced precision core chip technology, results in fewer service calls and reduced maintenance costs, ensuring a smoother printing experience for your business.

Intelligence

One of the standout features of Epson printers is their scalability. The Epson Workforce Series ranges from compact retail desktop models to large-scale textile machines valued at $2.1 million. This versatility allows businesses to find the perfect printer that meets their specific needs, whether they require a simple desktop printer or a high-capacity industrial machine.

Eco-Friendliness

Epson printers are also known for their reduced environmental impact. They consume 65% less energy compared to their competitors, significantly lowering your business’s carbon footprint. This energy efficiency not only benefits the environment but also translates to cost savings on energy bills.

Print Workflows with Allied Business Solutions

Allied Business Solutions leverages advanced technology to elevate production print workflows, transforming simple CMYK prints into premium products. One example is a workflow process for business cards with foil laminate as outlined below.

1. Base Background Colors: The process begins with a simple duplex pass through our Xerox Versant 280, where we apply the base background colors. This step ensures that the initial layer of the print is vibrant and consistent.
2. Soft Touch Lamination: Next, the print moves to our Duplo DFL 500 for soft-touch lamination on both sides. This lamination provides a silky, smooth, buttery texture, enhancing the tactile experience of the final product.
3. Black Toner Application: After lamination, the print returns to the Xerox Versant 280 for the application of black toner. This toner is selectively applied only where the foil will be added, ensuring precise placement and sharp contrast.
4. Foil Application: The next step involves adding a beautiful blue shiny foil using the Duplo DFL 500. The foil application process gives the print a striking, eye-catching finish that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication.
5. Final Cutting: Finally, the finished stack of prints is taken to our Duplo EC618 for cutting in a single pass. This final step ensures clean, precise edges, completing the transformation of a simple print into a high-quality, professionally finished product.
