Konica Minolta and Service Graphics Group announce print partnership with Edinburgh branch technology upgrade

By combining the flexibility and quality of the AccurioPress C4080, with the automated colour consistency checking of the IQ-501, Service Graphics has full assurance that its customers’ jobs are reliably colour-matched without an extended manual process. “Colour consistency is vital for brand control and this automation reduces the touch points without compromising on quality, so it was a key consideration along with the impressive finishing delivered by the SD-513,” states Rob Goodier, General Manager at Service Graphics, Print and Design.  “Like much of the industry, we are optimising our operations, and greater automation is vital in ensuring we have the right solutions in place to support our customers and our business.”

Following a thorough review of its nationwide operations and print fleet, Service Graphics Group has restructured its local branches and established regional print hubs. These utilise market-leading print technology along with a web-to-print solution to facilitate unwavering quality, fast turnaround, and value for money for its customers. A number of print devices across its UK locations were ready for an update which required the right print partner, as Rob Goodier added, “Having thoroughly researched and tested several print machine manufacturers and their technology, we are confident that Konica Minolta’s print solutions match our needs.” He added, “The broader relationship is also vital, we were not only looking for the right technology but also a true partner that we can collaborate with as we evolve our business. We have a strong synergy with Konica Minolta that is just as vital as the excellence of its technology.”

Glyn Williams, Professional Print Channel Manager at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd, also commented, “This is the perfect time for Konica Minolta to be partnering with Service Graphics, to ensure its print and finishing investments are perfectly placed to power its regional hubs and branches. By combining exceptional output quality with greater automation, efficiency, and attractive operating costs, we are working closely together to ensure customers receive the service, value for money, and results they expect.”
