Refurbished swissQprint Nyala boosts BCP Media Group

Print Solutions

BCP Media Group is ramping up production thanks to the installation of its second refurbished flatbed printer from swissQprint. The investment comes at time of rapid growth for the business.

Based in Poole, Dorset, BCP has opted for a six colour Nyala LED system to run alongside a refitted Impala machine installed five years ago. The new addition will help the firm take on more projects, with the company specialising in retail point of sale, large format print and signage.

Applications include window graphics, event signage, wall coverings, counter display units and free standing display units. In addition, BCP Media Group has also seen a growth in short run speciality packaging, an area that demands high quality and eye catching special effects.

For Ian Shenton, managing director, the Nyala is the second refurbished machine bought from swissQprint and is playing its part in producing excellent print for demanding markets.

‘The Nyala is printing to a very high standard,’ he said. ‘We haven't bought a new machine because we knew that everything on a refurbished printer has been thoroughly checked and tested to the limit. We know we are getting quality. It is the same for our Impala. Five years on and it is still reliable and running every day – a real workhorse. This is critical because our business is expanding and we are getting busier.’

With two swissQprint systems, BCP Media Group can now offer an expanded colour gamut across its production. The Nyala also produces matt, gloss and raised varnish effects. The 3.2 metre wide flatbed machine also has the option of printing roll to roll.

For operators like BCP Media Group, a refurbished system offers one affordable route to these devices. In addition, customers can enter the small to medium volume print market with the Oryx and Topi flatbed systems.

‘Despite our excellent experience with the Impala, we wanted to explore the market before we made our purchase,’ added Ian. Following trials of several alternative printers, BCP Media Group concluded that swissQprint offered a higher level of performance, with faster production speeds and noticeably stronger colour vibrancy than competing technologies.

‘We also like working with the company. The support and service is always available when we need it. Additionally, the low energy usage of the Nyala helps our drive to be more sustainable. It is a big selling point.’
