The Lasting Impact of Print Communications

Print materials consistently achieve higher open rates and deeper engagement compared to digital alternatives. According to WARC and JICMAIL studies, 95% of consumers open, read and/or fill physical mail. The presence of mail in the home also means a record-breaking frequency of exposure: 4.4 interactions on average. With the installation of the Canon ColorStream 8133, Victor Buck Services is positioned to deliver even more effective print communications, ensuring that their clients’ messages are not only seen but also remembered.
Fast and Flexible High-Volume Printing
The Canon ColorStream 8133 is engineered to handle large volumes with remarkable speed and precision. Its printing speed reaches 133 meters per minute, which equals more than the length of a football field or translates to 1,790 A4 pages (duplex) printed in one minute. This capability allows Victor Buck Services to efficiently manage high-demand print jobs, meeting all client needs, even under tight deadlines. The enhanced flexibility offered by this continuous-feed printer ensures that VBS can quickly adapt to various client requirements, whether it's an urgent request or a large-scale project.
Commitment to Sustainability and Reduced Environmental Impact
In addition to its superior performance, the Canon ColorStream 8133 is designed with sustainability in mind. This state-of-the-art printer minimizes paper waste inherent to printing activities, notably through a pause system that can be activated during the print jobs. Its energy consumption is also lower than other similar models on the market, thanks in part to an adaptive drying technology that adjusts based on ink coverage.
