Australian label printer targets further growth with Konica Minolta bizhub Press C71cf

Sydney-based label printer Foxcil is forecasting a faster future with the installation of the first Konica Minolta bizhub Press C71cf label press in Australia.

Australia's first Konica Minolta bizhub Press C72cf digital label press is to be installed by Foxcil

Established only four years ago, Foxcil attributes its rapid growth to an adaptive and innovative approach to business, with managing director Roger Kirwan credited as having installed the first Xeikon press into the Australasian market and known in the industry for his unconventional approach to growth.

He said: ‘Any digital press that is printing under 1,200 DPI, no matter at what speed it can run, was automatically discounted from the decision-making process. Some printers are happy to compromise quality by delivering manufacturing speed.

‘At Foxcil, we are not prepared to compromise quality for speed.’

David Cascarino, national manager, Industrial Print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Australia, said the bizhub Press C71cf as ‘ideal’ for label printers looking to move volumes from conventional presses to digital, to deal with shorter print run lengths, requests for faster delivery times, personalization and versioning, and the production of on-demand runs.

‘The number of high mix, low volume print jobs continues to increase, and print companies need to complete orders within shorter lead times. Printing demands that were difficult to fulfil with conventional presses can now be processed efficiently thanks to the flexibility of digital printing. With the C71cf, Foxcil is well-equipped to meet these demands.’
