Service Graphics Group invests in Edinburgh branch technology upgrade

Print Solutions


An AccurioPress C4080 with IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Care unit and SD-513 saddlestitcher bookletmaker has been installed at Service Graphics Group’s Edinburgh branch. The new installation is part of the group’s initiative to develop regional print hubs across the UK with Konica Minolta chosen as its equipment partner. 

 

By combining the flexibility and quality of the AccurioPress C4080, with the automated colour consistency checking of the IQ-501, Service Graphics has full assurance that its customers’ jobs are reliably colour matched without an extended manual process. ‘Colour consistency is vital for brand control and this automation reduces the touch points without compromising on quality, so it was a key consideration along with the impressive finishing delivered by the SD-513,’ stated Rob Goodier, general manager at Service Graphics, Print and Design. ‘Like much of the industry, we are optimising our operations, and greater automation is vital in ensuring we have the right solutions in place to support our customers and our business.’

 

Following a thorough review of its nationwide operations and print fleet, the company has restructured its local branches and established regional print hubs. These utilise print technology along with a web to print solution to facilitate quality, fast turnaround, and value for money. A number of print devices across its UK locations were ready for an update which required the right print partner, as Rob Goodier added, ‘Having thoroughly researched and tested several print machine manufacturers and their technology, we are confident that Konica Minolta’s print solutions match our needs.’

 

 He added, ‘The broader relationship is also vital, we were not only looking for the right technology but also a true partner that we can collaborate with as we evolve our business. We have a strong synergy with Konica Minolta that is just as vital as the excellence of its technology.’

 

As part of its consolidation process, Service Graphics is also broadening its target audience which is another key factor in its print investments as Mike Holyoake, group managing director also commented, ‘We are increasingly working with high end global brands, in spaces such as premium retail and global sports organisations for example, to produce marketing and promotional materials which unlike flat sheet work requires a greater degree of finishing and embellishment. There is huge demand for quality production, premium service and products, and this direct partnership with Konica Minolta enables us to enhance our print technology and refine our offering to consistently meet these demands nationwide, as part of our business evolution.’
