Konica Minolta has installed a Bizhub Press C1100 for a Lancashire based integrated marketing solutions agency, the Media Village in Altham. 

The Media Village provides a full mix of marketing services to clients including graphic design, photography, direct mail and commercial print. 

Production director, Aaron Shread spotted an opportunity to grow the business by investing in a new digital press to give the company a more competitive edge in the challenging digital market.

Mr Shread said, ‘The C1100 was chosen simply because it was the best machine on the market on several fronts.  Already aware of the outstanding support and back up from Konica Minolta it was pleasing that the Bizhub Press C1100 was the first choice for image quality, production quality and productivity from all the machines looked at.  It was also the most cost effective solution which just reinforced the decision for the Media Village to retain their partnership with Konica Minolta.’

The Bizhub Press C1100 series was recently launched as part of the Enable your business road show. The road show took place at various locations across the UK, giving customers the opportunity to see at first hand the capabilities of the new generation of digital press and also attend free workshops run in conjunction with leading industry consultants.

Mr Shread continued, ‘The C1100 has now been installed for just over a month and is already having an impact on our growth plans. We have increased digital production by approximately 20% in the first month and expect this to grow further. The quality, speed and reliability of the C1100 is outstanding and helping us win new business and increase our offering to existing customers.  The purchase has been a real winning decision all round.’
