Office Depot upgrades printing services

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. Office Depot has partnered with Xerox Corp. to provide a comprehensive package of digital solutions available through Office Depot's Design, Print & Ship Depot locations throughout the United States. As part of the new program, Xerox and Office Depot have developed a unique training program that will certify Office Depot associates as experts in the area of digital imaging and printing.

The "Xerox Certified Print Specialist" program will equip Office Depot personnel with expert skills and knowledge to provide customers a full range of enhanced digital solutions, including wide-format printing, color analysis and a quality guarantee with each print job.

"This exclusive partnership provides Office Depot with a true advantage in a crowded marketplace and enables Design, Print & Ship Depot to differentiate itself from the competition," said Randy Pianin, senior vp of Design, Print & Ship for Office Depot.

Customers at Office Depot retail locations nationwide will be able to quickly identify the "Xerox Certified Print Specialists" by a unique badge worn only by associates who have completed the full certification program.

Print jobs and promotional product orders can either be submitted in store or online, and customers have the option of picking up an order or having it delivered directly to their home or office.
