Print-2-Media unlocks new markets and greater productivity

Wide Format Solutions


Cornish based signage and fine art printer, Print-2-Media, has installed a swissQprint Nyala 4, adding efficiency, quality, and productivity to its printroom, as well as opening up new areas of business.


The 3.2×2 metre flatbed machine, has delivered significant advantages in both speed and capability over the two metre machine it has replaced. Print-2-Media's team of eight is already seeing the Nyala 4's productivity and ease of use contribute significantly to all aspects of their business.


Operating in a variety of commercial sectors and with almost 40% of its business derived from its online presence, Print-2-Media's clients range from individual business to consumer commissions to local, national and international artists seeking limited edition fine art prints.


In addition, the business works in several specialist sectors, including the production of internal and external signage for both schools and national garden centre chains. With its additional roll unit, six inks including CMYK, white and varnish and a double row of print heads, the Nyala 4 has provided significant flexibility to their production output.


The production team arrives for work in the morning and, within minutes, are printing high quality results. Virtually no time is lost to head cleaning or dropped out nozzles. ‘This 'plug and play' capability alone is already making us realise that our investment in Swiss built quality is well founded,’ said Glenn Wrigley, director of Print-2-Media.


Print-2-Media has seen a complete change in the workload dynamic, too. Historically, its finishing department was waiting for the printers to complete a job. Now the pressure is on them to keep up with the printer’s production speeds.


Further to the clear production efficiency and operational benefits, the contribution it makes to Print-2-Media's long term capital investment planning is impressive.


The larger 3.2 metre flatbed has also widened the range of products that Print-2-Media can offer to its clients. Print-2-Media's recent new venture, The School Sign Shop, launched during the pandemic, already accounts for 10% of the firm's turnover, a result brought about in no small part by its enhanced production versatility.


Being able to deliver a complete service across an impressive array of products using the Nyala 4 has seen Print-2-Media increasingly become a 'one stop shop' for many clients who seek the highest quality results in both print and sustainability.
