In a trend that reflects the same trading conditions in the UK, one of France’s fastest growing digital printers has moved to counter ever-increasing demand for repeat short-run, fast turnaround work.
In doing so, imprimerie RGI has become the first commercial offset print business in France to install the Fujifilm Jet Press 750S High Speed model.
Founded in the mid-1980s, imprimerie RGI has been producing a huge range of applications for a wide variety of clients and has developed a deserved reputation for exceptional quality and outstanding customer service.
Jean-François Le Borgne, Associate Director at RGI, comments: “Covid-19 has changed everything. It’s changed the way we work, and it’s really turned our industry upside down. We were already seeing a market trend towards targeted, high quality, short run print jobs and the pandemic has massively accelerated that trend.”
Despite an existing, strong relationship with Fujifilm, having been a plates customer for ten years, the company directors carefully considered all their digital press investment options to ensure they made the right choice. Jean-François continues: “It’s nice to be able to develop our partnership with Fujifilm, but we picked the Jet Press 750S High Speed model on its merits. Its capabilities quickly won us over, particularly the excellent quality and the ease of use. We’re an offset print business and the Jet Press fits seamlessly into that environment with minimal changes required to our processes.
“Now we can offer our customers short run jobs, in B2 format, at the same exceptionally high level of quality they’re used to, allowing us to grow our business with existing clients, and to find new ones as well.”
Taro Aoki, Head of Digital Press Solutions, Fujifilm Europe comments: “We’re delighted RGI chose Fujifilm and the Jet Press 750S High Speed model when making its first major digital press investment. The Jet Press is designed to deliver the high quality, short-run commercial print the market is increasingly demanding. This investment puts them in the best possible place to face the future with confidence.”
