Kingswood Press ‘rivals Indigo quality’ and wins agency work with iGen4

Stuart Strong, a partner in the Underwood-based business, said the iGen4 offered greater quality and a larger sheet size than the Xerox Color 1000 it had replaced.

"It can now rival Indigo as far as print quality, because that's always been held as the benchmark. There's nothing else in the marketplace that can produce that sheet size," he told ProPrint.

"It gives us 50% more sheet size to work with. When you're talking A4 documents, we can print three up instead of two."

Kingswood previously had to use offset presses to produce six-page brochures and landscape books, which forced clients to accept "ridiculous prices" or alter their designs, said Strong.

"It's won us a lot of new business in the advertising agency market, mainly due to the landscape stuff and the six-page brochures," he said.

Kingswood has been using the iGen4 for all its general digital work since installing the machine in January, he said.

Strong told ProPrint that the Brisbane firm was looking to boost the digital share of its business, which currently provides 20% of turnover.

Kingswood has 42 staff and also runs a 10-colour Akiyama JPrint and five-colour Ryobi 925, he said.

Lotsa Printing in Port Douglas installed Queensland's second iGen4.
