Company introduction:
Part of the Optimo Service industrial services group, Printimo is an innovative print shop that offers a range of personalised products including business cards, brochures and books. Based in Winterthur, Switzerland, Printimo provides fully integrated printing and logistics services to small and medium enterprises, employs around 25 people, and is one of the largest independent print shops in the region.
Challenge:
In recent years, many of Printimo’s clients have requested high levels of customisation and personalisation in their printed output – such as adding unique colour schemes, design work, and finishing effects. To satisfy rising demand for more innovative output, delivered to tight schedules, Printimo looked to adapt its technologies and expand its use of digital printing.
Solution and benefits:
Printimo decided to consolidate and upgrade its production environment using RICOH Pro™ C9500 and RICOH Pro™ C7500printers. The printers streamline production, improving colour accuracy, consistency, and monitoring, while integrated finishing solutions from Plockmatic automate stacking, folding and stapling of A4 brochures. With the new printers, Printimo can respond even more flexibly to client requests, and deliver outstanding levels of personalisation and innovation – quickly, reliably, and efficiently.
“The higher level of automation and easier handling of the Ricoh solutions is exactly what we need to expand our business. We also switched to usage based billing, giving us a more flexible and transparent cost structure as well as better reporting. I’ve worked with other manufacturers and am a big fan of the Ricoh products and the Ricoh team.”
