"Hi, On Friday I phoned and ordered 7 RMLV manuals and asked if there was any way they could be here by Monday or Tuesday. I would like to say thank you very much for the effort you made in getting these manuals to us today. To get them from Brisbane to Mackay in that short of time was a fairly unrealistic request. Again thank you very much and it is greatly appreciated. "

Digital Printing
What is digital printing?
Digital printing is printing an image directly to paper from a computer. Digital printing is also referred to as on-demand printing.
About our Digital Printing Services
The Print Group’s in-house digital print services enables us to produce professional colour and black on white printing direct from customer supplied artwork. Files can be supplied on disk or USB or via the internet.
Our professionally trained staff are specialists in colour matching and maximising our equipment’s capabilities.
Some of the benefits of digital printing are:
- Jobs can be produced within a quick timeframe.
- Digital printing is cost effective on short runs.
- Digital printing allows us to produce smaller runs to test your promotional material, which lets you be sure of your marketing before you print thousands of copies
- Digital printing helps the environment as it reduces wastage. There is minimal paper lost on setting up and we only print what is needed.
- Artwork has to go through far less scrutiny with digital machines as they are much more accurate. Creating your artwork in RGB and non compliant colours is no problem - digital printing can easily print these formats.
- Every item can be personalized as each sheet printed is an original.
- Digital printing saves the potentially costly effect of having thousands of items produced only to find out that the information is out of date. By only printing what you need when you need it (on demand) we can alter every run if needed. There’s no need to store thousands of catalogues, we can print the exact number when they are required.
We also pride ourselves in knowing when something is not suited to our specific machinery, enabling us to advise our customer the best papers and specifications before going to print, thus saving time and money for our customers.
About the Machinery
Our Xerox – 700 Digital Colour Press prints 70 sheets per minute and enables us to print on various stocks ranging from 64gsm (uncoated) to 350gsm board in both coated and uncoated SRA3 applications. We upgraded to this machine from Xerox Colour 5065 in October 2010 and noticed a huge difference. . It holds more SRA3 paper in its trays, has less jamming and curling of gloss coated and silk coated stocks, and it prints on wide range of stock, allowing us to deliver offset like quality to our customers. All of this results in less down time and more efficient running of jobs, enabling us to accept more orders and the turnaround has definitely reduced. With inline saddle stitching, collating, punching, stapling and booklet making, this machine is an all-round sensation.
