“The thing I love most about EO Johnson is the service. Their service technicians are amazing. Sometimes they will stay after they have fixed the machine and run the job just to make sure everything is working correctly. If we don’t have good service, we can’t operate, and we have great service with EO Johnson.”

How do I know if production-level printing is right for my business?

Production-level printing is ideal if you regularly outsource printing jobs, print high volumes, require specialized finishing (binding, cutting, laminating), need consistent color accuracy, or want to reduce long-term costs. Our team can comprehensively assess your current print volume, costs, and needs to determine if bringing production capabilities in-house would benefit your organization.

What types of finishing equipment do you offer?

Our finishing equipment transforms printed materials into completed products through binding, cutting, folding, laminating, creasing, and more. Approximately 75% of our production print clients also utilize our finishing equipment.

What is the difference between production print equipment and standard office printing?

Production print equipment is designed for significantly higher volumes, faster speeds, and superior quality than standard office printers. While office printers typically handle basic documents at lower volumes, production print systems can process thousands of pages per hour with professional-grade color accuracy, support specialized media, and offer integrated finishing options like binding, cutting, and folding, all with a lower per-page cost for high-volume work.

How does workflow management software improve our printing processes?

Workflow management software automates repetitive tasks like file pre-flighting, color management, and job scheduling, reducing errors and labor costs while increasing throughput. These systems integrate with your design tools (like Adobe), enable mass personalization of documents, streamline customer ordering processes, and ensure consistency across all print jobs, ultimately improving efficiency and quality.
