A perfect balance of speed, quality and flexibility to maximize business opportunities Publishers can have different reasons for wanting to maintain or establish a position in a foreign country, but, ultimately, it has to be profitable. The Truepress Jet520 series can help. Increased advertising revenues The Truepress Jet520 series are inkjet press that produces both static pages and 100 percent variable content. One of the exciting opportunities that comes from being able to print variable data is the ability to customize advertising for the local market. Readers on business or vacation often look for local services and advertising carried by a publication they trust. The quality of printing is very important for all advertisers. International companies spend fortunes promoting their brand identities, and poor reproduction at a remote print site can cost a publisher an important advertising account. The numerous quality control features built into the Truepress Jet520 series eliminate such quality concerns.
Added-value service for airlines Airlines are among the biggest customers of locally printed international newspapers. Being able to offer same day newspapers for passengers returning to their own country is a fantastic service that adds little to the cost of even an economy ticket. A number of airlines are also exploring the option of personalizing copies for First Class or Business Class passengers, creating additional opportunities for localized newspaper printing.
Not just newspapers The Truepress Jet520 series have been designed to produce a wide range of work, and newspapers is just one example. Most of the time, newspaper production will be required overnight for morning delivery and this can leave several hours of spare capacity during the day. During this time, the Truepress Jet520 series can be used to print direct mails, transactional documents, books and manuals. Equally it can be used to produce newspaper-related materials such as inserts, flyers and specialist supplements.
