Black Lion Press has purchased Ricoh Pro C7100x of worth £63,000 as it complies with company’s needs. The installation will be done in December.

Ricoh Pro C7100 comes with amazing features and it provides new features which were not included earlier. Managing director of Black Lion Press, Mark Stokes said: “We quite often see the guys from Ricoh and some of the reps came and said to me, ‘Look we’ve got this new bit of kit out.’ I was very impressed with the machine, especially the fact it has moved on to the clear and the white so for us it is a little bit different from just printing CMYK.

“We do quite a lot of charity sector work and sometimes we are pushed out by the fact that clients ask, for example, for a booklet on 380gsm Fedrigoni dark blue board, which means we can’t do the job. There are certain things I feel we’ve been closed out on but I feel this is a bit of a new opening in the market for us.”

It comes with amazing colours and shades and every sector of the industry can get benefitted from it.

Stokes further added, “We’ve noticed a real trend in the last six months in the way quantities on jobs have gone down,”

“With this machine in mind, we still need to keep the litho but we’re finding so much more work is crossing over to the digital market simply because of quantities. Unless it’s a mailing, jobs tend to be around 1,000 sheets.”

Moreover, the machine is meant for heavy duty tasks and it could be a great help to the company. The company can improve its productivity and efficiency through this amazing machine. It has a great printing speed and within no time, it can produce huge quantities.

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.

It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has.
