Recognizing the competitiveness of the printing industry and the ever-growing time constraints placed on publishers today, Westcan Printing Group has proposed a unique solution which speaks to these challenges. Recognized as an industry leader for their customer service, impeccable quality, efficient schedules and competitive pricing, Westcan Printing Group is an employee owned and operated company located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Their plant runs 24 hours a day, 7 days week and as such allows them to be flexible and incredibly efficient. Westcan would like to assert its ability to speed along the printing process, as well as offer CLMP members a financial incentive to working with them by pledging the following to active CLMP members:

  • A 10 business day schedule from the receipt of trouble-free files, prepared to our specifications and with the expectation of effective and clear communication between both parties. We also would expect that proofs will be returned to us in a timely fashion with minimal or perhaps even no corrections.
  • A 5% discount on first-run printing costs for CLMP customers.
  • Personalized service which includes an open line of communication between publishers and all departments within Westcan Printing Group, in particular, within our planning and electronic prepress departments.
  • Quality of the highest standards produced by a company that is FSC Certified and offers a wide selection of recycled and FSC Certified papers.
  • Added value promotional items where applicable. Specifically, depending on the format of a book or journal there may be room to gang on promotional items such as bookmarks, postcards, et cetera, with the cover press sheet at no extra charge. When possible, Westcan will make the publisher aware of these opportunities.
