A UK first: XDP Digital invests in Revoria SC285S 5uper Colour press

Print Solutions

Founded over two decades ago, XDP Digital has grown from running a single small printer to being a fully equipped commercial print operation, serving local businesses and long standing blue chip clients across the UK. The fifth colour capability was the deciding factor for the Christchurch based print business, as it became the first company in the UK to invest in Fujifilm’s new Revoria Press SC285S.

‘We have always prided ourselves on being able to do nine out of ten things in-house for our customers,’ explained Robert Jupp, director at XDP Digital. ‘But we knew we needed something new to keep offering that ‘extra mile’ – especially with so many clients looking for fresh, high impact print.’

The fifth colour capability of the new 5uper Colour press proved to be the key differentiator for XDP Digital. By expanding into metallic, pink, white and clear toners, the company is opening up new creative possibilities for local marketing teams and in-house designers who want to make their materials stand out.

Robert continued, ‘When we showed customers the samples, they were blown away – especially with the metallics and the pink. A lot of our clients are always looking for that ‘wow factor’ without paying a high price point for specialist finishes. Now, we can offer striking effects in-house, with no extra hassle or outsourcing. It is truly a game changer for us and for them.

‘We looked at other suppliers, but what really impressed us about Fujifilm was the proactive approach. From the first conversation to installation and training, nothing was too much trouble.’

XDP Digital is already seeing positive reactions to the new press, with early jobs for major garden centres showcasing vibrant pinks and seasonal colour palettes. Samples of the metallic colours have also generated strong interest across its diverse client base, including marketing departments and retail clients looking to elevate their printed materials without resorting to foiling.

‘The new press is faster, more robust and delivers excellent quality, but it is the new creative options that really excite us,’ said Robert Jupp. ‘In a market where print budgets are under pressure, this gives us a real unique selling point.’

The team is already looking at additional opportunities, including exploring the Revoria E1 Series for high volume monochrome work to expand into the publishing sector.
