Company:
Paragon DACH & CEE delivers large volume transactional printing, client communications solutions, and consulting services to banks, insurers, health insurance companies, telecoms providers, and utilities. With about 1,000 employees, Paragon DACH & CEE has 10 business locations in Germany, Poland, and Czechia. To serve the German market, Paragon runs a fleet of 29 production printers and 19 folder inserters.
Challenge:
To keep pace with surging client demand, Paragon aims to develop fast, reliable production workflows that deliver the highest quality output. In many cases, the company receives requests in the morning and looks to deliver that day, and must handle dynamic fluctuations in demand. With two inkjet web fed printers in need of replacement, Paragon decided to increase the capacity and speed of its transactional printing environment.
Solution and benefits:
After extensive, hands-on benchmarking workshops, Paragon selected two RICOH Pro VC40000 high speed inkjet printers to modernise its operations. With the Ricoh printers, Paragon has accelerated production of demanding daily jobs, and with the hours saved has more time and resources for optimising key production processes. For example, thanks to the speed of 180 metres per minute, the company has more opportunities to refine pre-press processes before sending jobs to print, helping to increase overall efficiency.
“By selecting two new Pro VC40000 devices, we have almost doubled our capacity for transactional printing. Each machine can print around 100 million A4 pages per year, giving us the ability to take on additional work and increase our revenues.”
