National marketing services provider prepared to take inkjet efficiency to new levels
Melville, NY, September 14, 2015 – Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc., today announced that OneTouchPoint, a single-source, marketing execution services provider has installed the new Océ VarioPrint i300 sheet-fed inkjet press. The Illinois-based company is the second company in the U.S. to install the game-changing inkjet machine, highlighting the company’s commitment to expanding its inkjet offerings and enhancing its services portfolio.
Offering end–to-end communication management, OneTouchPoint was founded to make communicating easier, more efficient and more effective. With offices across the U.S., OneTouchPoint supports its clients though robust multi-channel marketing and print programs, designed to make every touch point matter in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
OneTouchPoint’s commitment to quality, speed to market, and personalization naturally led them to the inkjet movement. Canon Solutions America, whose relationship with OneTouchPoint dates back 15 years, knew that the Océ VarioPrint i300 was an ideal product to help OneTouchPoint lower costs, accelerate turnaround times, and offer market versatility.
“We were looking for a solution that would allow us to build on our existing capabilities and expand our solution offering to clients and prospects,” said Alex Vazquez, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Sales at OneTouchPoint. “The Océ VarioPrint i300 inkjet press allows us to do this while improving efficiencies, , expanding our print capabilities to multiple paper sources, and, most importantly, keeps us at the top with leading, innovative technology.”
Over the years, OneTouchPoint has worked extremely close with Canon Solutions America. The two companies have a strong strategic partnership that is cemented by their shared passion for innovation and customer-focused solutions. With its most recent installation of the Océ VarioPrint i300 sheet-fed inkjet color press, OneTouchPoint continues its shared legacy with Canon Solutions America with the expansion of its portfolio of services and solutions.

This new, innovative product reinforces our place at the leading-edge of technology in the print industry.”

With superb image quality and peak productivity, the newest machine in Canon’s line of inkjet technology provides consistent output and a foundation for growth for companies of all sizes.
