Foyer Printing increases capabilities and grows business with Konica Minolta MGI Meteor DP 8700SE+ printer

Customer Benefits

• Superior quality and efficiency
• Ability to offer new and expanded services, lead

Increased capability offered by the Meteor printer has enabled Foyer Printing to increase its workload and as a result they have added a permanent nightshift, which was never feasible in the past.

Foyer Printing has increased its clientele through being able to offer offset synthetics, large format jobs such as short-run digital A4, sixpage brochures. And the business has been able to offer better digital envelope printing.

Ron Rankin said, “We had digital envelope facilities previously but now it’s available in a single process so we can turn these jobs over very quickly and the quality is superior. It was surprising how little time it takes to set the Meteor up to run envelopes after doing standard digital sheet work; it was a very quick turnaround.

“We’re picking up new foiling work because of how well the Meteor works with our offline foiler, which has been an unexpected benefit."

“Furthermore, the Konica Minolta printer is more productive than we anticipated. We expected a 10 per cent drop in speed of performance based on the on-paper specifications but, in practice, the opposite has happened. This could be because the Meteor loads jobs quickly so the initial processing is faster, plus we don’t have as much downtime as we did with the previous machine.

According to Foyer, working with Konica Minolta and Document Solutions Australia has been very smooth.

Ron Rankin said, "The changeover happened quickly with exceptional support. The team is very responsive to our needs and we haven’t had much downtime at all compared with the previous machine. We also have plenty of spare parts that we can use if the machine does have a fault. When we need a technician, they’re available within a couple of hours, which is great service as far as we’re concerned.”
