Using Innovation To Meet Your Publishing Needs And The Needs Of Your Advertisers

Innovation is key in streamlining your operating processes. Transcontinental Printing uses the latest technologies to optimize the efficiency of your production workflow and help you respond to your advertisers’ needs.

Not all magazines cycles are the same. Our recognized industry experts tailor production processes to each magazine’s advertising, selling and distribution schedules, creating customized production workflows that maximize production efficiencies, saving both time and money.

Our integrated premedia solutions allow your advertisers to upload their advertising easily and do online approvals with the use of virtual proofing. And with our latest virtual press-side proofing, final approval can be done virtually without having to be physically present at the press, saving time and eliminating the confusion associated with the circulation of multiple paper proofs.

Maximize your revenues with our flexible and innovative printing and finishing capabilities that provide your advertisers with more options to make sure they stand out, including format flexibility, inserts, onserts, high-speed polybagging, and high-resolution ink jet imaging, among many others.

NEW! We now offer MetalFX® technology on our web press, which creates new revenue potential for magazine publishers. Your advertisers will benefit from superior image reproduction and a much more realistic and attention-grabbing look. Early adopters will be sure to stand out!

Continuous Investments

Continuous Investments In The Latest Technologies

With more than 6% of our revenues invested annually in upgrading equipment, Transcontinental Printing is always looking to deliver time and cost efficiencies to its publishers and their advertisers, as well as offering the highest-quality and most flexible printing and finishing options available. For example, the Sunday M4000 offers the finest high-speed quality printing and optimum versatility, closed loop color for increased color accuracy as well as stochastic printing for higher-quality printing on lower-grade paper.

Digital Age

To simplify your production management, Transcontinental’s Premedia Integrated Solutions Center has assembled a set of online collaborative tools called The Digital Workshop. It allows you to plan, build, manage and monitor your print projects from concept to distribution—all from the convenience of your desktop. The Digital Workshop saves time and reduces the chance of error by enabling quick and effective communication with our systems. For magazine publishers, the Job Assistant allows you to track your job throughout the production process and approve proofs online from any location.
