On-Demand Digital Printing
Print just what you need, as you need it—or don’t print at all. Iron Mountain’s digital print and electronic document capabilities are the right solution for materials that require personalization, frequent changes, small quantities or fast delivery. On-demand production allows us to help you save up to 40% on printing costs. Impressive savings, given that most companies spend 1% to 3% of their total operating budget on print.
In addition to decreasing turnaround times and lowering print costs, you’ll reduce waste and storage charges. We’ll work with you to determine which documents meet the criteria for print-on-demand or for the electronic document repository. We consider many factors, such as usage patterns, communication objectives, the frequency of content changes, customization requirements and other turnaround demands.
- Short Run? No Problem — Because digital printing has virtually no setup fee, it is cost effective for short print runs and one-offs.
- Binding and Finishing — We offer a wide range of binding and finishing services to meet your needs or project objectives.
- Faster Turnaround — Documents produced on digital printers are ready faster versus the 10–14 day lag time needed to schedule offset print jobs. For those items, we stock as print-on-demand (by holding the digital files), Iron Mountain Fulfillment Services typically operates on an in by 2.00 p.m. out by 5.00 p.m.
- Reduce Storage and Obsolescence Costs — Print and bind smaller quantities of those pieces that become obsolete quickly due to content changes. Digital printing is ideal for short document lifecycles. Minimal inventory to address a quick response is maintained—reducing storage and obsolescence costs overall.
- Trim Back Orders — Digital printing eliminates shipping and handling costs associated with fulfilling and shipping back-orders as separate orders.
Digital First — Print documents with unknown usage patterns digitally before printing in larger quantities. Once a sufficient number of orders are available for measuring overall document usage, offset printing may eventually be more cost effective.
