Next Print has installed a Fuji Xerox Versant 2100 and employed a new full timer on the back of 35 per cent growth in the last three years. Speaking with Australian Printer, Alex Rae, founder and owner of Next Print, located in Castle Hill, NSW, says the business has performed well since its inception.

Rae says, “It is really hard to be loud about yourself. But we have been growing by 15 per cent every year for the last three years. “The saying normally goes something like, you can only be good at one or two things, but I believe we are good at all three. We offer good prices, deliver good quality and are always on time.” He says he is naturally a ‘hands on person’ and that has helped the business grow and attract new customers. Rae says, “My business partner Andy Bellchambers and I make a good combination but as we were growing we needed to hire a new person, who will take over my job of operating the machines. “This leaves me to chase new businesses and marketing to further grow our business.” He says the growth also demanded upgrades and we needed to invest in a new machine and the Versant 2100 is fast, flexibility and versatility. Rae says, “We needed a machine that was going to deliver great results fast and the Versant does just that. We are now able to offer our customers more value with extra features that the new printer boasts. “We also offer a range of finishing to our clients and do in-house celloglazing and dye-cutting among other services.” Next, which has a yearly turnover of $1.3m, also has a Fuji Xerox J75 with an inline booklet maker. In addition to print he company’s services include account management, single source supply, graphic art, fulfilment, warehouse and distribution promotional products, DM and photography.
