What A Full Service Houston Printing Company Can Offer Your Business

by

When looking to find a Houston printing company, it pays to find a full service provider that offers a full suite of services. The advantages of using a full service provider are increased efficiency and quality along with the ability to meet any set of project demands.

What A Full Service Houston Printing Company Can Offer Your Business

Most printers provide services regardless of what type of business you run. However, the best printers are the ones that work specifically in support of your industry. Law firms have very precise needs when it comes to document security, copying, and discovery. Using a printer who isn’t well versed in the needs of the legal industry can have disastrous results.

Medical record scanning that is compliant with HIPAA and HITECH Act requirements is another good example of a time when you’d need a print/scan firm with specific industry knowledge. Engineering, construction, and architectural firms also have strict requirements to maintain their documents when building civic works such as bridges and roadways.

Comprehensive Services – Large Format, Off-set, And More

In addition to offering industry specific expertise, the ideal Houston printing company should also offer a full range of printing services. This includes large format printing, off-set printing, OTC printing, digital color, black and white, and more. Having a one stop printer is not only more convenient, it also ensures a higher standard of quality and a better price.

Many printing projects rarely require just one size or format and instead require a wide range of printing services. Marketing and promotional items, from brochures to trade show presentations, will run the entire range of a printer’s capabilities from high quality imaging to mass printing of flyers and giveaways.

Risk Management Scanning, Database Management, And More Digital Services

An important part of any printer’s job is document scanning and digital services. All of your paper records can be lost due to a flood, fire, or other natural disaster. That is why digital scanning and record maintenance is a critical service that some businesses overlook.

Risk management scanning is the answer to maintaining records securely against loss. After scanning records and business critical items, they can be easily stored off-site in a secure location to guard against loss. Disaster recovery is so very important and having vital documents available for instant recovery can be the difference between successful business continuity and bankruptcy.

That is why a top Houston printing company offers digital services in addition to physical printing and copying. In the end, the best printer does much more than just printing!

Personalize Your Marketing With Digital Variable Data Printing

by

Customize Your Marketing With Variable Data Printing

In the not too distant past, preparing brochures and other marketing collateral was both expensive and time-consuming. Printing in bulk lowered costs; only cost-effective option for market segments was to add personalized material to brochures. However personalizing output for different markets, much less different customers, was virtually impossible.

The Advent Of Personalized Printing

Digital printing enhances marketing with high-quality, personalized, full-color documents akin to offset printing. By interfacing computer databases with the printing process, you can now mass-customize documents, rather than just mass-producing them. Variable printing merges marketing messages into complex materials using technology similar to mail merging.

This personalization can take one of several forms. The simplest level involves adding a name on each copy, similar to a mail merge. Next step is to add customized text and images to target different markets. Finally, full variability printing allows personalize text and images for each individual address. In all cases, the format and basic layout remains the same, along with some shared language, while some elements vary based on who will receive the output.

Creating Variable Data Printing

Variable data printing or VDF is accomplished in three ways:

  1. A static document is loaded into the printer memory, and the printer is instructed to always print this document in addition to variable data that’s printed on top of the static document. The simplest of VDP technologies, this approach is also the most limited.
  1. Both the static document as well as variable elements are combined to create separate digital documents for each recipient or group of recipients. The downside of this approach is that print files are large and can easily overcome the capacity of the print driver or Raster Image Processor (RIP), and printing is slower.
  1. Using VDP software, static and variable elements are combined in such a way that the driver only has to process and store the static elements once. This type of software is included in Adobe InDesign and in standalone or bundled software offered by many manufacturers.

Marketing Benefits Of VDP

VDP enables you, as a marketer, to be more effective in reaching your customers. Print one job for personalized postcards or bound reports with relevant images, text, and standard content. You can also create unique product variations for different markets by changing pictures and text.

The Document Group of Houston, Texas offers digital printing with variable data printing capabilities. You retain the benefits of high quality color printing and excellent image quality along with the type of customization that maximizes your marketing dollar. For information about this technology and samples of VDP in action, call us at 888-316-4670.
