Customer Story
Enhancing client services with the first X20 UV Ricoh Hybrid Proposition deployment in Europe
Company:
For more than 15 years, Colorpix has helped large and medium-sized businesses to enhance their brand communications with vibrant, eyecatching promotional materials. Based in Pistoia in central Italy, the company offers integrated large and small format printing services, producing everything from posters, booklets, magazines, flyers, and catalogues to branded garments, business cards, and outdoor banners.
Challenge:
In recent years, Colorpix has seen growing demand for more customised output and large format graphics. However, technical limitations and performance issues with one printer meant that keeping pace with requests was challenging. For example, the device could only print on media up to 160 cm, leading the company to turn down orders for large jobs, while high volume print runs would take several days.
Solution & Benefits:
To transform its large format print capabilities, Colorpix selected the all new Flora X20 UV Hybrid, powered by Ricoh, with ColorGATE Productionserver software. With the X20 Hybrid device, Colorpix can offer clients the opportunity to print output up to two metres in width, on both rigid and flexible roll fed materials. The new printer provides the increased performance, flexibility, and capacity needed for Colorpix to complete high volume print runs quickly and seamlessly, ready for delivery to business clients.
“The reduction in production times has been remarkable, even for complex jobs. For example, producing trade show displays would take four days to prepare on our previous device. With the Flora X20 powered by Ricoh, we can complete the print run in just one day, helping to improve client satisfaction.”
