i3logix Acquires Xerox Inkjet Press to Enter Transactional Market, Maintain Double-Digit Growth

How do you maintain your annual double-digit growth after going from zero to $3.5 million in revenue in your first eight years of business? For Denver-based i3logix, the answer is to target a new market for transactional printing with a pair of new presses: the Xerox Rialto® 900 Inkjet Press and the Xerox Versant® 3100 Press.

“With these two presses, we’re able to move confidently into this new market and maintain our 20 to 25 percent annual growth rate,” said Steve Wolffis, vice president and general manager of the i3output division of i3logix. “The Rialto, in particular, is a great fit for us.”

About 80 percent of the i3logix print business is direct marketing—mostly letter packs and postcards—with brochures, newsletters and other marketing materials making up the rest. The new Xerox Rialto press has two-and-a-half times more color capacity than the color continuous feed device it replaced, enabling the new press to produce current applications while easily supporting expansion into the transactional space.

Wolffis chose the Rialto after a year-long search revealed that many competitive inkjet presses were too expensive and needed more volume to be profitable than i3logix plans to generate. “The Rialto had the right monthly volume (1.5 to 5 million impressions), lower operating costs than other products I looked at, and better color quality and consistency than the press it replaced,” he said.

Along with the Rialto, i3logix acquired an inline dynamic perforator, which cuts production time by as much as 25 percent on perforation jobs, and a second stacker, which also boosts productivity. The Versant 3100 adds capacity and provides printing on 12- by 18-inch sheets, coated stock, and envelopes.

i3logix has offered printing services since 2009 and has been a Xerox customer since 2014. It has two other presses: a Xerox Color 1000 Press and Xerox Nuvera® 120 EA Production System. “We’re now a 100 percent Xerox shop, and there’s a reason: because they’ve offered us the best deals and delivered the best service,” Wolffis said.

TC Transcontinental condemns a City of Montreal regulation which would put an end to the Publisac

TC Transcontinental, owner of the Publisac, reacts to the City of Montreal’s announcement of its intention to implement an opt-in system for the distribution of flyers beginning in May 2023, that would lead to the end of the distribution of the Publisac on its territory. As already indicated by TC Transcontinental, an opt-in model is unsustainable because of its complexity and the prohibitive costs it would generate. "In the current inflationary context, and at a time when the population is facing an unprecedented rise in prices, the social and economic relevance of the Publisac is greater than ever," said Patrick Brayley, Senior Vice-President of the Distribution Group of TC Transcontinental. Indeed, the Publisac, in addition to giving consumers access to discounts, distributes local newspapers at an advantageous cost, helps merchants to attract customers and compete against the giants of e-commerce, and supports thousands of direct and indirect jobs. We intend to assert our rights and those of our customers if necessary."
