BRAMPTON, ON—Formost mediaOne, a provider of document outsourcing transaction printing and direct mail, has installed an HP T230 PageWide Colour Web Press.


The Brampton-based company will use the press to offer its customers higher value applications, mass customization, exceptional colour including MICR and faster turnaround times. The T230 brings Formost’s overall imaging capacity to over 100 million impressions per month.

“Over 80% of our business is in transactional and transpromo servicing government, utilities and banking industries producing tax, water bills, statements and cheques,” John Johnstone, vice-president of sales and marketing, Formost mediaOne, said. “We needed a solution that could deliver any time of day, at a lower cost, with quick turnaround times. The HP T230 PageWide Web Press’ MICR configuration option along with the printer’s colour calibration, broad application versatility, quality, and speed enables Formost customers to have access to high quality output at a reasonable cost.”

According to Formost, the installation is one of the first in Canada. The company also installed an EMT finishing line with dynamic perforations, hole punching and sheeting.

Formost now offers a true “white paper” imaging solution going from a 22” wide, 50” diameter mill roll to finished product at 400 feet per minute.
