World Graphic Design Day on April 27 is an annual celebration of graphic designers and their influence in the daily lives of people across the globe. By utilizing the power of print and working with graphic designers, businesses have become more effective in marketing and sales efforts when engaging with target audiences.

As seen in the recent Canon Print for Action survey, 76% of Americans say the quality and graphics of the print is what captures their attention. With this in mind, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to announce the application availability of Meadows Publishing Solutions DesignMerge variable data software, which is designed to help customers expand their design and printing capabilities. The addition of DesignMerge to Canon’s production workflow solutions provides Canon the ability to offer an expanded range of variable data printing (VDP) solutions to help designers, marketers and print providers create and execute more personalized, targeted print communications.
