Delphax Solutions introduces “#PrintingStrong” COVID-19 recovery program for the printing industry

Delphax Solutions Inc., (“DSI”) a digital inkjet press manufacturer based near Toronto, has introduced a “#PrintingStrong” program (www.PrintingStrong.com) to help support Canadian and U.S. printing companies during, and post the COVID-19 pandemic.

Delphax Solutions is offering qualified printers who produce more than 12 million letter impressions per year the opportunity to acquire one of a limited number of Delphax Solutions’ Elan 500 HD cut sheet digital inkjet presses, for a minimum of two years with no equipment lease or purchase costs. “This program provides access to a high availability, high productivity, and low Total Cost of Ownership production press on a ‘pay as you go’ basis without the typical financial commitments associated with capital equipment,” Richard Lee, Delphaz CEO, said in a March 27 press release. “Successful applicants will only be required to pay for consumables and support, which remain at our 2019 rates.”

For high volume users there are additional incentives available, he added.

Applications under this program are being accepted immediately. “However, due to the current government mandated travel restrictions, companies located in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) in Canada, and the Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN area in the U.S. will be able to access the program and schedule installations immediately (subject to any government imposed COVID-19 restrictions),” Lee said. “Once travel restrictions relax, installations can be scheduled for other Canadian and American firms who qualify.”

Existing customers who have the additional annual production volume also qualify for the program. “For printers that may not have the 12 million impressions per year but are looking to have access to a new digital inkjet production platform that allows them to grow their business, there are significant discounts available, as well the option of 0% equipment leasing on terms up to 60 months,” Lee said.

Driven by Memjet’s VersaPass technology with true 1600×1375 DPI CMYK printing, sheet sizes from 8”x8” to 18”x26” on a wide range of weights, with throughput of up to 500 letter impressions per minute, the Elan HD is suitable for both variable and short run publishing applications.

The Elan platform has multi-year production proven reliability, and allows the system to be serviced by either DSI or customers’ own in-house maintenance staff.
