Since its establishment in 2008, UK-based Prosign Print and Display, led by Stephen Hardy and his son Connor Hardy, has built a reputation as a trusted name in large-format print and display solutions. Their commitment to providing comprehensive services—including print, design, and installation—has made them a preferred partner for both trade customers and corporate brands.
Prosign’s long-standing partnership with Canon has been instrumental in their success. By utilising Canon’s advanced printing technology, Prosign has achieved levels of quality and efficiency that were previously unattainable. This relationship has not only provided them with the right equipment but also with the reliable support necessary to maintain their high standards.
At the heart of Prosign’s operations are Canon's Arizona and Colorado printers.
The Colorado with UVgel quickly became the backbone of Prosign’s day-to-day operations. Its speed and consistent quality allows them to meet tight deadlines without sacrificing the high standards their clients expect. The Colorado’s versatility in handling various print jobs, from posters, roller banners, PVC banners to wallcoverings, enabled Prosign to expand their service offerings and cater to a broader range of customer needs.
Meanwhile, the Arizona flatbed brought a new dimension to Prosign’s capabilities with its ability to print directly on diverse substrates like wood, acrylic, and Foamex. This opened up new business avenues in custom interior design, display and high-end signage, allowing Prosign to differentiate themselves in a crowded market. The Arizona’s reliability and ease of use meant that Prosign could operate with minimal downtime, further boosting productivity.
What makes me feel really secure using Canon is the service that they provide.
I've been using the Arizona for 11 years now and never really had any problems. It's so reliable. We come in at 5:00 in the morning and can be starting the print job by 5:10.
Stephen Hardy emphasises the importance of reliability in their equipment, noting that the Arizona printer has been a cornerstone of their business for over a decade. The ease of use and versatility of Canon’s technology enable Prosign to switch between media types effortlessly, further enhancing their service offerings. The ongoing support from Canon’s team has solidified this relationship, making Canon more than just a supplier—they are a vital partner in Prosign’s continued growth.
The World Unseen project is an innovative effort to make photography accessible to all, including blind and partially sighted individuals. It features a multi-sensory exhibition with elevated prints, tactile images, audio descriptions, and braille, allowing visitors to "feel" and experience the images through touch and sound. Prosign meticulously printed the elevated applications making the visuals not only readable by touch but also truly tangible for those with visual impairments.
The Colorado is the workhorse in our business. The speed at which the Colorado can output while maintaining quality is incredible.
The relationship between Prosign and Canon extends beyond the technology. Stephen Hardy values the personal connection with Canon’s sales and service representatives, who provide consistent support and build trust over time. This partnership has reinforced Prosign’s confidence in Canon’s technology, ensuring smooth and efficient operations that have contributed to their long-term success.
