Making inkjet the reality today

As the print and communications market continues to change, understanding how this will affect your production processes is paramount. You know your business and your clients; our dedicated team of inkjet consultants advise you on what opportunities exist that can create new innovation and wealth.

Saving money

• Analyse which production process is best for your client’s job
• Avoid purchasing expensive digital paper stock
• Gang jobs up on a larger sheet format
• Reduce production time and costs – digital UV inkjet prints can be instantly finished, need no curing or drying time
• Reduce wastage

Increasing profit

• Increase the range of applications you offer your clients: Digital UV inkjet has a wide media latitude capable of printing on thin substrates, textured media and heavy board stock for applications such as personalised folding cartons for packaging
• Automate processes to enable your customers to submit jobs directly into the production workflow
• Develop new digital marketing solutions such as augmented reality to unlock profitable print opportunities

Having defined potential new opportunities together with you, we continue to advise you on what is practical, cost-effective and most urgent supporting the B2+ inkjet business case for changing your production methods.

We will help you assess which of your clients could benefit from B2+ inkjet, analysing the type of application, media type, and production costs, as well as new applications that you can create.
