Formost mediaOne Adds HP Web Press

Formost mediaOne of Brampton, Ont., installed an HP T230 PageWide Colour Web Press earlier this year. The company plans to use the new press to provide customized marketing materials for its clients.

Formost was founded in 1981 as a business forms manufacturer and merged with mediaOne in 2000 to become a document and services outsourcing company specializing in transactional, statement and tax form processing, custom programming, variable imaging and mailing. Today, printing and processing millions of pieces monthly, Formost mediaOne services the marketing and billing sectors for clients in a range of industrial sectors, financial services, health care, utilities, telecoms, distribution and general manufacturing.

“Over 80 percent of our business is in transactional and transpromo servicing government, utilities and banking industries producing tax, water bills, statements and cheques… We needed a solution that could deliver any time of day, at a lower cost, with quick turnaround times,” said John Johnstone, who also pointed to leveraging the HP T230’s MICR configuration.

Formost mediaOne also installed in line with the HP T230 an EMT finishing line with dynamic perforations, hole punching and sheeting. With the ablity to produce 1,800 2-sided full colour letter size impressions per minute, the new press brings Formost’s overall imaging capacity to over 100 million impressions per month.
