When you think of Applied Innovation, you might think of copiers, printers, IT services, automation, or secure shredding.
And while we’re proud to offer all of those solutions, there’s another side of Applied Innovation that can take your printing capabilities to a whole new level.
Did you know we also offer Production Print + Wide Format solutions?
We’re talking high-speed production printing. Massive graphics. Eye-catching signage. Professional finishing. Direct printing on unique materials. And equipment designed to help businesses bring more of their printing in-house.
Whether you’re producing thousands of marketing pieces, printing architectural drawings, creating vehicle graphics, or looking for a way to make your printed materials stand out, Applied Innovation has solutions designed to help.
So, what exactly can we do? Let’s get into it.
When Your Everyday Printer Just Isn’t Enough
our office printer is great for everyday documents. Reports, invoices, presentations, and the occasional last-minute project.
But what happens when you need thousands of pages?
Or oversized graphics?
Or professional booklets?
Or a banner large enough to stop someone in their tracks?
That’s where Production Print + Wide Format comes in.
Applied Innovation offers production print and wide format printing solutions designed for businesses that need more speed, more volume, more versatility, and more creative possibilities from their print environment.
From high-volume production equipment to wide format printers and advanced finishing technology, we help businesses find the right solution for the way they work.
Production Print: Built for Big Jobs
Let’s be honest. Not every print job is created equal.
Printing 25 pages for a meeting is one thing. Producing thousands of brochures, booklets, invoices, direct mail pieces, manuals, or marketing materials is another.
Production printing is designed for the big stuff.
Applied Innovation offers high-speed production print solutions that help businesses produce consistent, professional-quality materials at higher volumes. These solutions include both sheet-fed and continuous-feed technology, depending on your organization’s needs.
Sheet-Fed Printing
Sheet-fed production equipment is a great option for organizations producing materials such as:
- Brochures
- Booklets
- Direct mail
- Marketing materials
- Short-run publications
- Specialty print projects
These devices offer high-quality color, support for larger sheet sizes and specialty media, and the flexibility to produce a variety of projects in-house.
Continuous-Feed Printing
Now, let’s take things up another level.
Continuous-feed technology is designed for organizations with serious printing demands.
Think:
- High-volume invoices
- Statements
- Transactional documents
- Personalized direct mail
- Data-driven printing
These systems are built for speed, large-scale production, and consistent output while helping reduce the manual intervention required to keep major print jobs moving.
In other words, when the print job is too big for your average office printer, production print is ready to step in.
Go Big With Wide Format Printing
Sometimes, standard paper sizes simply won’t cut it.
That’s where wide format printing enters the conversation.
Applied Innovation’s large and wide format solutions allow businesses to produce oversized documents and graphics with professional quality and impressive detail.
And the possibilities go far beyond posters.
Wide format printing can support projects such as:
- Banners
- Signage
- Displays
- Architectural drawings
- Blueprints
- Vehicle graphics
- Point-of-purchase materials
- Large-scale marketing graphics
For businesses that regularly outsource these projects, bringing the right equipment in-house can provide more control over turnaround times, help maintain brand consistency, and reduce the delays that can come with sending projects elsewhere.
Because sometimes, bigger really is better.
But Wait. There’s More.
Printing the piece is only part of the process.
The right finishing can take a standard printed document and turn it into something that makes people stop, look, and remember.
Applied Innovation also offers advanced finishing solutions that can add a professional and creative touch to your projects.
Think about it.
Would you rather hand someone a standard brochure?
Or a brochure with a sleek finish, eye-catching foil details, and a polished look that makes your brand feel premium?
Exactly.
Advanced Finishing Can Include:
- Spot UV embellishments
- Foil
- Laminating
- Precision cutting
- Creasing
- Die cutting
- Booklet making
- Binding
These finishing options can help businesses create more polished marketing materials, professional publications, direct mail pieces, packaging, and other printed materials without relying on multiple outside vendors.
Print on More Than Just Paper
Here’s where things get really fun.
Did you know some of Applied Innovation’s production print solutions can print directly onto materials beyond traditional paper?
With UV flatbed printing, businesses can explore printing on a variety of rigid and flexible materials, including:
- Wood
- Acrylic
- Glass
- Metal
- Packaging materials
This technology opens the door to creative applications like promotional products, custom displays, signage, prototypes, and point-of-sale materials.
Suddenly, your print capabilities become a whole lot more interesting.
Bring More Printing In-House
One of the biggest benefits of Production Print + Wide Format technology is the opportunity to bring more of your printing projects in-house.
Outsourcing can be helpful, but it can also mean waiting.
Waiting for production.
Waiting for shipping.
Waiting for changes.
Waiting for someone else to tell you when your project will be ready.
The right in-house equipment can give your organization more control over print production and help you move projects forward faster. Applied Innovation’s solutions are designed to help businesses reduce outsourcing needs while maintaining quality and fitting technology into existing workflows.
That means your team can spend less time waiting and more time creating.
It’s About More Than the Equipment
Here’s something else you may not know about Applied Innovation.
When you work with us, you’re not simply buying a piece of equipment and being left to figure everything else out.
Production and wide format printing environments can be complex. Choosing the wrong device can lead to unnecessary costs, wasted materials, and equipment that simply doesn’t match your actual needs.

And once the right solution is in place, having access to knowledgeable service and support can make all the difference when printing is critical to your business.
