Nordjyske Medier chooses SureColor SC-S30600

NORDJYSKE Medier has replaced two of its printers with one SureColor 30600 large format printer and has acquired a faster, error-free solution as a result.

Things are very busy at the Danish media group, NORDJYSKE Medier, responsible for media activities all over North Jutland. There is no danger of ink cartridges drying out in the printing department as, in addition to newspapers, the team prints advertisements, posters, roll-ups and banners.

With so many print jobs, both in-house and external, NORDJYSKE Medier has chosen to increase productivity with a bigger, better, faster and much more intelligent large format printer from Epson.

New printer, greater efficiency

With a print width of 160cm, Epson's SureColor SC-30600 can be likened to an industrial printer. It is used by photographers, signage companies, galleries, print shops and others who print, among other things, their own advertisements and banners. It was this high performance level that persuaded NORDJYSKE Medier to choose the SureColor SC-30600.

Anna Overgaard, Digital Print and Large Format Manager at NORDJYSKE Medier, commented: “We needed a best-in-class printer that could solve our problems quickly and without errors. The printer is easier to operate and far more intelligent than the two previous ones that we had installed. This printer is twice as fast and the technical specifications are perfect for our needs – no streaking or banding.

“In addition, we needed a large format printer that could produce outdoor-durable prints. The SureColor SC-30600 does just that, allowing us to create a range of signage which can be used, for instance, as bus banners.

“With this type of technical equipment, it is essential that you can depend upon reliable service. LMT, the supplier, delivered and installed the printer very quickly. They are Epson dealers who are located near to our office, and are just a phone call away,” Anna added.

Perfect match for NORDJYSKE Medier’s needs

LMT Gruppen Graficon is a full-service provider with more than 20 years’ experience in supplying production equipment and high-quality products to the advertising and signage industries, among others. LMT currently has two divisions with 15 employees split between its two branches in Åbyhøj near Aarhus and in Albertslund near Copenhagen. That experience allows LMT to know when a product is perfect.

Lars Sandt, Epson product manager, LMT Gruppen Graficon, went on to say: “Epson's SureColor SC-30600 really is a state-of-the-art printer – and it's perfect for NORDJYSKE Medier's needs. It offers good performance, good colours, robust outdoor durability and it produces prints without graininess or streaking.”

Lars explains that the SureColor SC-30600 is a good product, as it can work with all media types and also a gives the option of using 40kg or 80kg paper rolls. The printer comes with a full three-year warranty on ink – and is equipped with an intelligent take-up system with secure rotation that saves space when the paper passes through the printer.

“In addition, the SureColor 30600 has a unique three-phase heater system, that thoroughly heats the media and ink at low temperatures between 38°C and 55°C to ensure gentle and effective drying and so achieve the best colour results,” added Lars Sandt.

“It is also important to mention that LMT Gruppen Graficon, as a system integrator, supplies professional RIP software that can translate bitmap images into print-ready raster graphics; the software also has an APPE (Adobe PDF Print Engine) which eliminates all kinds of transparency errors and produces perfect results,” said Lars.

Frank Krüger, Business Account Manager at Epson, said: “We think that the SureColor SC-30600 is an excellent match for NORDJYSKE Medier's needs and we are very happy with LMT's professionalism and expert knowledge of our products. This provides a good foundation for outstanding service to end users – and ultimately helps to create a problem-free, secure solution and process.”
