Lucam serves the Prado Museum, the Picasso Museum in Málaga and others with colour-precise printing.
Company:
Lucam, based in Madrid, offers digital graphics aimed at the arts sector. The team focuses on image retouching, prepress and printing, designed to help clients turn concepts into reality, delivering illustrated books, posters, cards and related materials to highly demanding clients – including the Prado Museum and the Picasso Museum in Málaga.
Challenge:
Serving some of the most prestigious museums in Spain, as well as businesses and individual artists, Lucam prints books, cards, posters and more. Clients rely on Lucam’s ability to deliver faithful, accurate colour reproductions at short notice, often combined with special finishes such as gold and silver. Lucam looked for a solution that could offer very high quality results on multiple materials, for both short- and long run output with minimal configuration.
Solution & Benefits:
Lucam selected the next-generation Ricoh Pro™ C7500 digital colour sheetfed press, able to handle weights from 40 gsm to 470 gsm – including rough, textured media – and sheet lengths up to 1030 mm. The Ricoh Pro C7500 is compatible with special colour toners that include white, clear, invisible red, gold, silver, neon yellow, and neon pink to yet further expand the colour gamut, with quick changeover of complete units for special colours that enable rapid setup and operation.
“The Ricoh Pro C7500 has opened up a wide range of service possibilities for us. We don’t just print on coated or low weight papers – we need flexibility so that all the designs can be printed on any type of media. The white, silver and gold tones cover very well and add value to the product. We meet an artist with their creation, in their head and on screen. What they want is to print their work, and thanks to the Ricoh Pro C7500 and its colour range we can achieve this.”
