Digital Printing

WHAT IS DIGITAL PRINTING?

Digital Printing is the fastest growing sector in the print industry due to its recent technological advances. With virtually no setup costs or steps required to produce press plates, our digital print department is perfect for high-quality runs that require quick turnaround times. Another benefit of digital printing is the ability to run jobs with variable data. Variable data allows for complex personalization on pieces which in turn bring much higher response rates.

Digital printing is also a great complement to Solo Printing’s B2B digital storefront platform. By utilizing the storefront and our digital capabilities, our partners can place orders and customize previously designed templates. Templates can range anywhere from brochures, flyers, booklets to much more. All files are stored and handled securely by Solo Printing employees and produced by us. This ensures brand security, consistency and allows for fast turnaround times.

HOW IT WORKS

The industry leading Dry Ink technology found in our brand new Xerox® 1000i digital press uses no fuser oil, giving all your applications a smooth, offset-like finish.

Advanced Xerox® color management technology, with closed-loop process controls, enables vivid, consistent color rendition from page to page and job to job every single time.

Because our digital press always prints at high-resolution standards, it delivers amazing mid-tones, crisp text, pure neutrals, detailed shadows, bright highlights and excellent photo rendering, resulting in an outstanding image quality.

Characteristics of our Xerox Color 1000i Press:

Maximum sheet size of 13” X 19” and thickness of 16pt
Variable data and imaging
Inline folding, trimming and traditional or square back saddle stitching
Inline hole punch (2 or 3 holes)
Prints on a wide variety of paper stocks such as Polyesters, Classic Linen, Adhesive, Magnet and much more.
Ideal for: short run booklets, brochures, direct mailers, postcards and pamphlets

Digital Printing versus Traditional Offset Printing

The greatest difference is that there is no need to replace printing plates. Digital Printing is the ideal solution for small to medium sized print runs that require quick turnaround times. Solo’s digital quality rivals that of offset with virtually no setup costs. Digital Printing is also a perfect solution for jobs requiring variable data to add personalized messaging and unique versions. If each piece requires a unique image, code, name or address, digital printing is the route to go. If you are not sure what best fits your needs, please feel free to contact us and we will be more than happy to help you with your next project.

Introducing the Xerox® Iridesse® Production Press

Elevate your printing capabilities to new heights with Solo Printing’s latest investment: the Xerox® Iridesse® Production Press. Designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s businesses, the Xerox® Iridesse® combines cutting-edge technology with unparalleled automation.

The Xerox Iridesse Production Press combines the value of highly-automated, agile digital production with exceptional image quality, making it easier to unleash the potential of print and achieve remarkably brilliant results.

Outstanding quality begins with vibrant four-color printing. The Iridesse™ stands out for its remarkable CMYK excellence, making it an ideal choice for various digital projects. Thanks to advanced technologies that significantly enhance image quality, such as the leading-edge Ultra HD Resolution, a new low-gloss small particle toner, and xerographic improvements, you can tackle more short-run, quick-turnaround tasks without compromising.

Ultra HD Resolution takes center stage, delivering four times more data to the press compared to other digital systems. This unique image pipeline, combined with 1200 x 1200 x 10-bit RIP rendering and 2400 x 2400 x 1-bit print imaging, produces unparalleled detail, resulting in smooth gradients, flawless fine lines, and precise small text.

The introduction of High Definition Emulsion Aggregate (HD EA) Toner further enhances the CMYK brilliance. With a reduced particle size of 4.7 microns, compared to the previous 5.8 microns, prints exhibit a smoother finish, lower gloss, and exceptional shadow detail, even in complex images.

Consistency is key, ensured through internal process controls. Mark On Belt (MOB) patches are laid down between pages and automatically measured throughout each run, addressing any registration or density issues in real-time and preventing color drift, allowing you to confidently deliver consistent results job after job.

Kyocera TASKalfa PRO 15000c: A Kyocera Press

In 2022, Solo Printing invested in a Kyocera Press, also known as the Kyocera TASKalfa PRO 15000c. The Kyocera press is a four-color VDP system, cut-sheet printer that provides efficiency, adaptability, and consistency within Solo’s production print and mail environment.

It works advantageously for full color printing of transactional, trans-promotional and other customer communications while remaining cost-effective for our customers.

This Kyocera press relies on water-based pigment inks and can process more full-color applications on a single platform. This is a benefit to our clients because inkjet printers produce higher resolutions which makes them capable of printing exceptional, smooth detail in comparison to laser printers using toner.

Another benefit of the Kyocera press is its cut-sheet workflow which is designed for non-stop operation. This allows both our digital print and mailing department to improve speed and productivity.

This is a great press for the printing of invoices, sensitive financial data, transactional push messages, and even vote-by-mail ballot printing! This is because the press is ideal for operations that use monochrome or color toner printing technology.

This press can best benefit clients with monthly print volumes in the 250,000 to 1+ million impression range. They can expect quality, consistent print products at the most cost-effective price.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

TESTIMONIALS

"Good afternoon, Lorenzo, Robert, and Armando, I just received and reviewed Miami Magazine. It is gorgeous and we are thrilled with the results. Thank you for your amazing work, dedicated service, and phenomenal customer service. Just like I can count on the Sun to rise every morning, I know I can count on Solo to provide us with an amazing magazine while meeting our deadline. Your team always goes above and beyond to ensure the University looks great and we appreciate it very much."

“..the new issue is terrific. It was great fun opening the carton and smelling the fresh ink. More important, it looks great. The printing is top-notch, and it just feels good in my hands.”

“The Solo Team did an excellent job getting us started [with SP Direct]. It’s new to all of us and we heavily rely on Solo...Just looking at some of the results – it's phenomenal. And, the dashboard is amazing and so helpful. I’m able to visibly show the efforts and results of currently running campaigns to my boss and my internal team as well as our agency... I was going back in [to the dashboard] and tracking the mailing because that was something I’ve never had access to before. When I see the peak in the mail deliveries, I see a peak in my numbers.”

“Thank you so much for the beautiful calendars. I read every single quote, ran my hand over the varnishes, and snapped the edges to gauge the nice stock… As always, working with your team has been a true pleasure. I am so grateful for your knowledge, professionalism, and partnership…”

“We gathered 'round to inspect the precision of the print and finish (LOVE the emboss) and then had to crack down and get busy boxing them up and shipping them out. Without a doubt, Solo is the right partner for this kind of project, where our quality HAS to be reflected in the catalogs we distribute to our customers. Above all, we thank you and Deena for your personal attention to detail and follow-up throughout. We always knew that our job was a priority. Even when severe storms shut down half the country, you kept us moving. We couldn't be more pleased with the end result, and for your personal service throughout.”

“Your team did such a wonderful job for us on our “Program Highlights.” I know they went above and beyond to deliver by our due date and within our budget. Please extend to them our heartfelt thanks – especially since it was over the holidays when they probably would have liked more time with their families. And thank you for shepherding the project along and keeping Erica and me so closely informed of progress during those last critical days.”

“Hi, Rose. I know this was a big job with lots of moving parts – 250,000 copies addressed and mailed to dozens of zip codes PLUS boxed copies shipped to more than 50 addresses. Thank you so much for all that you did to make it a smooth process for us. I know it wasn’t a walk in the park! You’re a peach!”

“I would like to congratulate you on a great job. Our President Luis Sr. is very happy with the Anniversary Card. Thank you and have a blessed day,”

“The Year in Review looks phenomenal—great job as always! Thank you for making us look good and for working within our tight deadlines. And that’s why we wouldn’t trust this job to anyone else but Solo.”

“While operating in a segment and marketplace that are fraught with overcapacity and intense competition, Solo Printing has managed to make its slide of South Florida even hotter with a staple for business success.”

“Just wanted to take a moment to let you know all assets were received. Many thanks for all your support. They [brochures and flyers] look great - very good quality and service.”

“I find working with Solo to be an incredibly positive experience. They are very collaborative, do state-of-the-art printing and deliver on deadline. I publish in the Caribbean so it’s imperative that my publications get printed and on the boats in time each month to be in market on schedule and they always hit the mark. I highly recommend Michele and the whole Solo Printing team in Miami!”

"I LOVE working with Solo for so many reasons! Their quality is impeccable! They always meet our scheduling needs and any special requests I may have. They are the printer I can count on when in a crunch! And best of all, their customer service is top notch! They are hands down one of the top printers I work with. The team goes above and beyond when my teams or I have questions. They will take the time to teach, give recommendations on projects, and offer options. They are timely in quote turnaround time, production timing, and responding to any email requests I may have. When it comes to their products, their quality is consistently exceptional. It’s very clear they take pride in their work and value their partnerships. I could go on and on about Solo. So yes, I highly recommend them!"
