Our technicians are trained to the highest standards and work exclusively within the commercial print industry, giving our customers the confidence to explore machine capabilities and work with us to overcome challenging media, files and timescales," commented PPD managing director Mike Ashforth.
"By working with Canon, we can offer our customers the latest technologies and the best-possible print solutions.”

We are confident the partnership of our technology and PPD’s expertise and consultancy will truly benefit its customers; every step of the way.”
Through the partnership, PPD will add qualified Canon engineers to its team and have access to the market-leading Canon imagePRESS range, offering end-to end productivity across a huge range of media and a wide choice of finishes.
