Indigo Ross invests in Fujifilm's Revoria EC2100S 5uper Colour press

Print Solutions

Indigo Ross has boosted its in-house production capacity with the installation of a Fujifilm Revoria EC2100S 5uper Colour digital press. With a team of 14, Indigo Ross, based in Suffolk, has been providing quality design, print and web services since 1995.

Phil Roper, managing director, commented: ‘We have always believed in staying ahead when it comes to digital print – our first ever digital investment was about 20 years ago. Over the years we have used many suppliers and now we are pleased to be working with Fujifilm. It is our first Fujifilm investment, but from sales to install it has been absolutely spot on. I can’t fault the team at all.

‘When it came to choosing a new press, the Revoria EC2100S just made sense for us. The fact that it is a five colour model really sets it apart – that fifth colour capability is a game changer for the type of work we can produce ourselves.’

One recent job really highlighted that advantage. Phil continued, ‘A couple of weeks back, we had to deliver a 116 page annual job for a trade client – five colour, with a really vivid Pantone 1505 orange. Normally we would outsource that to litho, but the turnaround was too tight. The Revoria’s fifth colour saved the day – we simply couldn’t have hit that orange digitally before. Now, we can keep these high value, demanding jobs in-house and maintain full control over the quality and turnaround.

‘Having that extended colour gamut means we are not limited creatively. If a client wants a bright neon, a vivid brand orange, or something that needs that extra pop, we can deliver it without compromise, and that is a huge selling point for us. It means better margins too, because we are not paying a third party to do work we are now more than capable of handling ourselves.’

Phil concluded, ‘Ultimately, nobody wants to outsource work if they don’t have to – that is the bottom line. The Revoria EC2100S gives us the capacity, quality and extended colour range to keep more work in-house. It is freeing us up to take on longer runs with confidence and gives us a competitive edge. And we have only just scratched the surface – as we get more familiar with the automation features, we will be able to push efficiency even further. It is good to know we have got a machine that can grow with us.’
