Canterbury City Council's document imaging services department has further increased its productivity and capabilities, whilst saving council tax payers around GBP30,000 a year, as a result of a five-year investment in Oce printing systems The department, which prints everything from posters and leaflets to booklets across the whole council, bought six printing systems - a CPS800, two Varioprint2100s, a CS230, a Varioprint 2070, a TCS400 and Oce's Docworks software as part of stage one of its print strategy

The CPS800 has allowed short-run colour graphic work to be brought in-house.
It is now managed through a service level agreement with the council's graphics department and equates to a 100 per cent increase in colour graphics printing, said Oce.
The Varioprint 2100s are also making a big impact.
Current estimates suggest they will produce 5.5 million mono documents this year, one million more than the department's two previous machines.
Colin Kibble, document imaging services and central purchasing manager, said: "We have developed a print strategy to make sure that our printing services are the highest quality and most cost-effective that the council has access to.
As part of the strategy, we worked in partnership with Oce to carry out an audit of our print capabilities and workflow.
When it came to choosing the hardware, we realised that we needed printers that could copy, not copiers that could print, as we had previously." And he added: "The Oce system provided us with a professional print capability that will take us in to the future, which is likely to see an increase in e-government initiatives and electronic job submission.
We have built up a strong relationship with Oce and we look forward to continuing to work together to deliver the council's continuing print requirements." Roy Bartholomew, Oce UK's national sales manager for the public sector, said: "Canterbury City Council has a very mature approach to printing.
Its well developed print strategy allowed us to make the best recommendations to meet its specific requirements and as a result, it is already benefiting.
We are confident the document imaging services department will quickly maximise the potential of the Oce devices and continue to deliver high quality printed products for the council.".
