MAKE NEW PRINT SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES WORK FOR YOU Cross Media

“Create new business with multi-channel communication.”

Multi-channel communication is an eff ective way to achieve high response rates. For you as a graphic communications provider, it is vital to off er cross media services: your custom-ers will appreciate your competence as a provider of universal “communication services” and you can charge extra for the new, added value you provide. At the same time, you create customer loyalty, can leverage the benefi ts of electronic media business models, and will benefi t from follow-up business.

Photo Merchandising

Similar to other web-to-print applications, photo book software includes online submission, payment and tracking, right down to the fi nal delivery or collection of the printed photo book.

Book Publishing “Open your eyes to new business.”

The printing landscape has changed, and fl exible graphic communications providers can benefi t from this development by producing a range of bound documents including books, calendars, magazines, and photo albums. InfoTrends expects the book-printing market to grow by 16.7% over their seven-year forecast period, which means that the print volume from book publishing will come to almost 54 billion pages by 2016.* In other words, on-demand book publishing is a new business fi eld that is well worth looking into!

STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD:LEAVE THE COMPETITION BEHIND Digital Technology

“Digital makes all the difference!”

Printing technology has developed rapidly during recent decades. Today, offset and digital printing are not so much competitive as complementary. For you as a graphic communications provider, the combination of both technologies opens up interesting new business opportuni-ties. As yet, the share of digital printing in the total page output volume is only estimated at around 5%. So, be sure to tap into the enormous potential for unique sales proposi-tions, and the extreme growth resulting from the increasing number of and need for digital print applications.

Quality

“Be unique in providing outstanding quality!”

Konica Minolta’s high-class digital presses today deliver amazing quality on a par with offset. Unique digital imaging technologies produce precise text and lines, consistent colour and perfect duplex prints with the highest possible registration accuracy. Take advantage of the constant product quality and the smooth operation of these pioneer-ing digital production devices to satisfy even your most demanding customers’ expectations each and every time.

Colour Management

“Get ahead with colour management.”

Viable colour management solutions combine comprehensive quality assurance capabilities with simple profile-making features. Your competitive advantage with a professional colour management solution is that it delivers precise colour matching without requiring in-depth operator knowledge. With colour management, you also benefit from straightfor-ward and efficient profile editing and inspection for all your products – which makes your offering unique!

INCREASE YOUR MARGINS & PROFITWITH LESS HUMAN INVOLVEMENT

Print Automation

“Time is money!”

With suitable print automation software, you optimise internal production routines, achieve greater staff efficiency, and thus enhance your production capacity. This ultimately enables you to expand your customer base and increase your profit. The easy integration of digital devices into existing offset workflows through the print controller provides you with a new kind of print automation.

Controller

“Boost your turnover and profit!”

As a graphic communications provider, be sure to carefully evaluate Digital Front End (DFE) or print controller solutions, because the efficiency of your print equipment and overall workflow much depends on the capabilities of your DFE. Not only does it control and drive the physical print hardware, it also forms the connection point between the printer and the print production software. In other words, the overall productivity and profitability of your print business stand or fall with the DFE you choose.

Service

“Just keep on running.”

With their quality of workmanship and robust metal construc-tion, Konica Minolta’s production printing devices guarantee you safe and secure operation. A real boost to equipment uptime and your overall efficiency is Konica Minolta’s profes-sional and competent service, including preventive mainte-nance. It minimises unexpected downtimes and ensures that your systems just keep on going and going – enabling you to keep to schedules and customer deadlines, increase your throughput, and make your entire business more profitable.

ATTRACT MORE JOBS TO THE SHOP AND PROCESS THEM WITH EASE Productivity

“Deliver more jobs today instead of tomorrow.”

Productivity has many aspects and does not exclusively depend on the speed of the devices in your production fleet. Timesaving equipment features do much for the overall productivity and efficiency of your printroom. Devices that are capable of running 24-hour shifts with no downtime provide a substantial productivity advantage. Automation and integration of individual production steps boost machine performance, free up manpower and ensure the overall efficiency of your production. As a graphic communications provider, the reliability of your equipment is essential for you to meet deadlines and customer expectations.

Inline Finishing

“Put tailor-made print products at your fingertips.”

As a graphic communications provider, you are always expected to do more with less! Inline finishing provides a great opportunity to reduce lead time and costs without compro-mising on quality and service. Printers who do not invest will pay the price by falling behind those that have invested in inline finishing, because it provides such a significant operational advantage.

Web-to-Print

“Be a 24/7 service provider.”

As a graphic communications provider, you con-stantly have to strive to attract new customers and to increase your overall efficiency. This means using your equipment to capacity to avoid devices or employees standing idle. With web-to-print applications, you enhance your services and their availability: customers can comfortably order and pay for their prints via the Internet whenever convenient – for you this means availability around the clock, more customer control and less coordination!
