RPI Europe Boosts Photobook Production with Canon Inkjet Technology

RPI Europe, a provider of personalized photobooks and business print materials, has significantly increased its on-demand photobook production capacity by implementing Canon's inkjet technology. The company, based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, is improving production reliability, efficiency, and consistency.

RPI Europe, part of the global RPI Print group, handles over 242 million print products annually. The company has a long-standing relationship with Canon, spanning over 25 years, and has now invested in the varioPRINT iX3200 printing system.

The photobook sector experiences significant seasonal peaks, requiring RPI Europe to scale production rapidly without compromising quality. The company also sought technology that would reduce reliance on highly skilled labor and support sustainability goals through energy-efficient operation and safer inks.

The Canon varioPRINT iX3200 utilizes iQuariusiX technology to deliver offset-like print quality at 1200 x 1200 dpi. The system is designed for ease of use and minimal maintenance, addressing RPI Europe's needs for increased production efficiency and improved environmental performance.
