While the new machinery and upgraded equipment will help futureproof operations, investments in the web portal and the digital department mark a significant expansion in Go Inspire’s commercial print services. The company will now be able to provide digital printing capabilities, enabling clients to self- serve for small lithographic and digital printing jobs – a service that was not previously available. Go Inspire has also invested in a mezzanine floor, adding 3,883sq ft of space to its facilities to accommodate the digital presses and associated finishing equipment. This expansion ensures seamless operations and

efficient utilisation of the new equipment. “We are thrilled about these investments and their potential to transform our manufacturing capabilities and expand our service offerings,” said Danny Cook, group operations director at Go Inspire. “We now can produce short run volumes, closing the gap in the ever-changing needs of our marketing clients, specifically with the addition of the Xerox Iridesse press, allowing us to provide customers with print enhancements including silver, gold, and fluorescent. The company remains committed to delivering exceptional print and marketing solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients.”

Canon launches new A4 desktop scanner

Canon UK has launched its imageFORMULA DR-S250N, a reliable, secure and productive compact desktop scanner. It facilitates quick and easy scanning and document sharing from a range of devices, allowing businesses to meet the needs of a more flexible workplace. This A4 desktop scanner meets demand for improved collaboration across multiple working locations, facilitating rapid file sharing and keeping document-heavy workflows moving. The imageFORMULA DR-S250N provides a user-friendly and straightforward approach to document sharing with flexible connectivity options, allowing users to connect seamlessly via LAN environments or directly through USB. Equipped with powerful web scanning functionality, it removes lengthy set-up times caused by driver or software installations, reducing workflow delays. The device is easy to get started as users simply scan the QR code displayed on the scanner using their mobile device – this offers instant connection to the scanner’s browser- based application, CaptureOnTouch LITE Web. The imageFORMULA DR-S250N is also compatible with a variety of devices, including tablets, PCs, MacBooks and Chromebooks – bringing flexibility and convenience to those looking to access powerful scanning capabilities within an office or shared co- working environment. The device also features a direct scanning function, enabling users to directly set-up routine scan workflows, without the need for a PC or additional scanning software. As a result, employees can scan documents

directly to email, shared folders and collaborative platforms such as Teams or Slack with the press of a button. The scanner offers users image processing capabilities that deliver high-quality scanning outputs. Through Contact Image Sensors, users benefit from sharper images, less distortion and improved text readability. Once a user scans a document, Optical Character Recognition can be used to create editable and searchable files for effective collaboration and document sharing. Compatible with a wide range of document types including legal sized documents, receipts, businesses cards and passports, the scanner supports a range of office tasks. The imageFORMULA DR-S250N device bolsters security at the network edge by making sure scanned documents do not remain in the scanner, minimising risks of leaked confidential data, regardless of how many individuals share the device. In addition, IT teams can easily manage users, set restrictions and customise user preference scanning settings through the active directory or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol address – ensuring strict document security. The imageFORMULA DR-S250N has been designed with sustainability in mind – renewable solar energy is used during production and its packaging can be reused and is biodegradable. Recycled plastics are also used to build the device as well as durable components, which are designed to last longer. Additionally, its 3.4kg weight helps to minimise the environmental impact associated with transportation.
