The shift towards short-run, versatile and on-demand printing continues with Officeworks partnering with Konica Minolta Australia to offer same day print services, using AccurioPress C4080 SRA3 digital toner presses, with finishing.
Officeworks has rolled out a market-first, Same Day Printing service available at 45 of its stores across Australia. The service is powered by Konica Minolta’s AccurioPress C4080 printers.
Officeworks installed 45 AccurioPress C4080 digital colour print systems for its print-for-pay operation in preparation for the launch of the same-day service.
The same-day printing range includes flyers, business cards, brochures, menus and greeting cards as well as event stationery like invitations and RSVP cards, table numbers, place cards and thank you cards. The service means customers who order online or in store by 2pm can pick up their printing that day at their nearest Same Day-enabled Officeworks store .
The highly versatile AccurioPress C4080 digital press can print up to 81 A4 pages per minute and up to 45 A3 pages per minute. This high-speed digital printing is available in colour or black and white and is supported by 3600 x 2400dpi resolution and exceptional print quality.
Andrew Cocker, General Manager, Konica Minolta Australia, says: “The AccurioPress C4080 printer is the perfect digital press to help Officeworks deliver this customer-centric solution, it’s an all-in-one print manufacturing powerhouse. Its state-of-the-art features ensure exceptional quality and fast turnaround times. It has been highly rewarding partnering with Officeworks to make this innovative, customer-first service possible.
Cocker adds: “Combined with the Trimming Unit TU-510 and AccurioPro Flux software solution, Officeworks can do professional inline finishing, and make real-time automated quality adjustments, all without compromising on print quality. Officeworks also chose fully specified models to achieve maximum productivity and to streamline print operations. This means they can offer customers more than ever before, while being closely aligned with their current Click & Collect model.”
No compromise on quality
Michael Salt, Head of Merchandise – Print + Create, Officeworks, says: “At Officeworks, we understand that life and work are faster paced than ever and sometimes the deadline is today. With our Same Day Printing service, powered by Konica Minolta’s AccurioPress C4080 printers, we’re better equipped than ever to help our customers stay ahead in business, work and life, without compromising on quality, convenience or price.”
The 45 AccurioPress C4080 presses installed at Officeworks stores around the country are fully specified with the TU-510 trimmer, the IQ-501 automated quality control, and GBC finishing equipment.
The AccurioPress C4080 was designed to help print businesses expand into new markets and develop new revenue streams with agile digital production functionalities and this landmark deal with Officeworks further cements Konica Minolta’s status in the commercial print world.
