Grayson Acknowledges Great Impact Of Konica Minolta
Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C71hc has a great impact on Grayson Design and Print to increase their business.
This machine has a capacity to produce 71 colour page per minute and its high Chroma toner technology can generate “vivid and natural colour” as described by the manufacturer, for its users.
Ashley Rogers, the general manager of Grayson, commented: “With the C5501, we got outstanding results and we needed to ensure that with this new press we were able to hit the corporate orange.
“The C71hc did not disappoint, the build quality, colour reproduction, clarity and precision of images, are unparalleled.”
Roger has appraised the new machine a great deal and also explained that earlier the company has to outsource its Foiler/Lamination work, that is never cost effective and with this new machine, they can save a considerable cost.
He explains: “In addition, quality control is integral to all we do, by laminating jobs in-house we have better control and are better equipped to remove any potential issues, which ensures high levels of customer satisfaction.”
Rogers comments: “The new Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C71hc, delivers outstanding colour quality and this, along with the investments we have made in other areas of the business, will enable us to offer a first class digital colour printing service to customers who use us for signage projects or workwear for example, as well as securing new customers who we can then offer other services to.”
The company has also included some other machines from renowned manufacturers’ as well that ensures a high growth for the company.
Walsh Colour Print Adopted Technotrans
Walsh Colour Print has adopted Technocrats peripherals to have more control while they are switching to H-UV technology.
“We have used Technotrans from day one and have always found the equipment reliable,” says managing director, Tony Walsh.
He continues: “With the move to H-UV the process control must be spot on so, although we have no issues with our water, we want to ensure the hardness and pH is exactly right.
“Filtration of the dampening will help in this respect, too, but the primary reason behind this purchase is the saving in chemistry costs. We believe we will cut our chemistry bill by 60% with the beta.f.”
The company has been using Technotrans’ temperature control technology from the beginning. Now the company is being installing water treatment, filtration systems and dampening solution filtration. It has been a great addition to the company’s resources and also it shows company’s great reliance on Technotrans’ peripherals.

Growth In Print Industry
There has been a considerable fight within the printing industry and different companies are striving for number 01 place.
Kyle Jardine, BPIF research manager, comments on the report: “Confidence in the general state of trade in the printing industry has taken a knock that it hasn’t yet recovered from. Whilst companies have reported some improvement in their output and orders, there is less confidence for the wider industry.
BPIF chief executive Charles Jarrold adds: “The Q2 report, in the immediate aftermath of the EU referendum, showed that confidence levels in 2016 have been lower than in recent years. There has been little improvement in Q3 – though a boost in Q4 is expected to lift confidence.”
“The print industry has shown a tremendous level of resilience and innovation; the climate is tough yet over half of respondents to Printing Outlook report that their own businesses are expanding. The industry is showing that it can be successful despite the numerous challenges thrown our way.

The industry is highly experienced in managing its costs carefully and that experience will be valuable as businesses face some difficult choices”
“Paper and board price rises – resulting from the devaluation in sterling that has been stimulated by the Brexit outcome in the EU referendum – is the latest challenge the industry is facing; it is not a new one. Some companies will be protected, to some degree, by their ability to target export markets; others may have paper price adjustments written in to some of their supplier contracts.
“However, many will have a decision to make about whether or not they can pass cost increases on in higher prices, afford to take the hit in their margins or look to mitigate cost increases through their purchasing or through efficiencies elsewhere in their business.
