HP PageWide Web Presses Chosen to Accelerate Performance Marketing

HP Inc. and IWCO Direct formed a strategic agreement for the supply of a fleet of HP PageWide Web Presses to drive the market for data-driven marketing communications solutions.

The seven high-volume HP PageWide Web Presses is said to be the cornerstone of a $50 million investment made by IWCO Direct to continue to grow their performance marketing business by 2023.

According to HP, the presses deliver next-level inkjet color quality and speed for a wide range of direct mail applications across a broad range of substrates such as letters, postcards, catalogs, and folded mailers.

The presses, including the 42- inch HP PageWide T490 HD and 22-inch T250 HD models, will be installed over the next year in IWCO Direct’s facilities in Chanhassen, Minnesota and Hamburg, Pennsylvania.

High-Definition Nozzle Architecture (HDNA) for HP inkjet printing delivers high quality without compromising on productivity. This, combined with HP’s industry-leading ink formulations, will help IWCO Direct produce a wide, more vivid color gamut for their customers and, with the color Quick Vision system, they can monitor print quality in real-time to improve turnaround times and decrease field errors.

“The HP technology upgrades our data-driven performance marketing services to maximize the return on marketing investment (ROMI) for our clients, which is critical in today’s climate. Our clients value the effectiveness of direct mail, but want to produce it faster and integrate it with companion channels, so they can reach their recipients more quickly with personalized, relevant messages,” said John Ashe, CEO of IWCO Direct.

“HP web presses will enable us to deliver smarter products for our customers in offset color quality at a faster speed, while offering more flexibility in scheduling and mail piece design,” added Ashe.

“This bold investment highlights the momentum we are seeing for digitally printed direct mail that can be personalized with powerful data capabilities. We are seeing that 1:1 tactile experience delivers significantly higher response rates compared with digital advertising,” said Carles Farre, vice president and general manager, HP PageWide Industrial. “We at HP PageWide are proud to be IWCO Direct’s provider of choice to take their print business into the future.”

HP is leading the analog-to-digital revolution in page volume with HP PageWide customers, printing 8 billion pages a month for a total of more 650 billion pages worldwide since the launch of the platform.

IWCO Direct, headquartered in Chanhassen, Minnesota, has been adapting its direct marketing business amid the pandemic in response to a shift to targeted marketing based on online ecommerce intelligence.
