How Hudson Printing is Leveraging Canon Technology for a Better Business Model Join Hudson Printing is a 35-employee, G7-qualifi ed printing facility in Macedonia, OH. In addition to printing, the company offers promotions and graphic design services. Challenge After losing an employee to retirement, the company needed to fi nd a method to streamline the production process to complete the same amount of work, if not more, without replacing the employee Solution PRISMAsync Remote Manager from Canon (Booth 1500) Results Cost savings: eliminated need to hire and train a new employee Increased productivity: More work can be completed in 50% less time Workfl ow improvement: Easy management of all printing presses from one centralized location According to Al Carrero, Owner of Hudson Printing, the company spent a great deal of time and energy within the last six years to become a G7-qualifi ed printing facility, as well a great amount of dedication to maintain that certifi cation. The printing company—which also creates websites, e-mail campaigns, text marketing campaigns, YouTube videos, and radio commercials that support the printing business—needed to support a multitude of customers who provide fi les in a wide variety of formats. The company already utilized pre-flight software, but managing orders was still a challenging project. Join RSA for an Informative Luncheon During GRAPH EXPO 16, in-plants are invited to a free one-hour lunch session tomorrow, sponsored by Rochester Software Associates (RSA) (Booth 2067), that will cover Web-toprint best practices. A panel of experts— IMG’s Howie Fenton; IPG Editor, Bob Neubauer; and RSA’s Vince Tutino—will discuss installation, roll out, marketing, user adoption, pricing, automation, and more. The event will be held at the Orange County Convention Center’s North Hall - Rooms N310AB, from 12:00 to 1:00 pm. Hudson Printing found that PRISMAsync provided the plant with a tool to help merge and manage equipment much more effi ciently than allowed by the prior setup. At one time there were two shifts ran in the department. After one operator retired, the shop debated whether to fi ll the position or fi nd a way to streamline the process to complete the same work in one shift—if not more. With the help of the PRISMAsync remote, not only has the company met its goal, it can even complete more work in one shift in half the time. With the solution, all four machines (one Canon imagePRESS C700, one Canon image- PRESS C6011, and two Canon vario- PRINT 110) can be managed and monitored from one central location. The company is also able to batch work for improved effi ciency and reduced costs while still maintaining the same level of productivity and quality to handle increased business growth.
