Customer Spotlight

Prism Creative

It’s not uncommon for a print shop to expand their services by putting a designer on staff. But Prism Creative in Newmarket, Ontario, did things just the opposite. According to owner/partner Mike Soden, Prism began as a full-service creative advertising firm—as they remain to this day—with clients including Sony, The Home Depot, IBM, and Royal Bank. They purchased their first large format printer—a Mutoh—ten years ago when Soden and partner Glenn Dewhirst desired greater control and accountability for the printed materials they were designing for clients.

Wholesale Banners/Mutoh Open House a Great Success

Mutoh America hosted an open house for Wholesale Banners on July 8, 2005. The open house gave Phoenix area customers a unique opportunity to check out the latest products, including the Toucan LT and the Falcon Outdoor Jr. Customers had the chance to test drive the products, ask questions, give feedback, and ultimately, purchase the printer of their choice. Breakfast and lunch were provided and some great door prizes were awarded. The result was a success for Wholesale Banners and Mutoh. “People were pleasantly surprised to find out their next door neighbor is one of largest inkjet printer manufacturers in the world. We were able to establish new relationships and turn neighbors into customers,” said Randy Rickert, Director of Sales.

Tip of the Month:
Reducing Horizontal Banding

Everyone knows that horizontal banding is one of the most difficult artifacts to deal with when inkjet printing. There are several things you can do to minimize horizontal banding:

  1. Learn proper maintenance and adjustment techniques that will ensure the condition of your print head in order to reduce nozzle drop out.
  2. Make sure you choose quality media and ink combinations.
  3. Make sure you are using proper settings within your printer and driver.

Learn more about reducing horizontal banding on our website.
