swissQprint has announced the 1000th installation of its large format printer. JPC Labo of Marly, France, took delivery of the 1000th swissQprint large format printer. This Nyala LED has injected new impetus into the business, with significant productivity increases and an expanded range of services.
‘Nyala LED needs just one day for work that used to take a whole week with our old flatbed printer,’ said Franck Dallefrate, JPC Labo owner and CEO. ‘Now we have the capabilities to generate and process the volume that a printer of this sort can handle.’
A presentation at sQp Impression UV, swissQprint’s partner in France, confirmed what Dallefrate already knew, ‘Other suppliers wanted to sell me three different machines to perform all the functions that one single Nyala LED can handle on its own.’ He mentioned pure flatbed printing, high-precision roll printing and – most important for him – finishing with effect varnish.
JPC Labo originally started out as a supplier of photographic services, but now the firm views itself as an image and print provider. Development of photos still accounts for 30 per cent of the business, because the customer base still includes many photographers – who, together with artists, are now taking full advantage of the diverse range of special options offered by the Nyala LED. Varnish finishing and multilayer printing are especially popular. In addition, JPC Labo supplies decorative elements for ceilings, walls and floors in hotels and catering outlets and on trade fair stands, POS articles for the retail trade, and also lettering and signage for various clients.
