Customer Success Story: Picnic Print
Picnic Print produces premium print materials for fashion brands, including promotional collateral, invitations, and point of sale displays. Fashion photography shot in RGB traditionally lost detail and vibrancy when converted to CMYK for printing, a problem the business wanted to solve.
Picnic Print became the first business in Australia to install the AccurioPress C83hc, letting it print in RGB, CMYK, or high chroma to match client needs exactly. Colour now matches perfectly on the first run, cutting setup time and labour significantly while impressing clients with results owner Nick Pettaras says he hasn’t seen in 25 years in the industry.
I’ve had printers come and ask if we can match their digital proofs, and we’ve been able to match them perfectly, first time every time. I haven’t seen anything like it in 25 years in the business.
