Perth based printer Scott Print has acquired East Perth digital printer Fineline, making the commercial printer the largest customer for Fuji Xerox Australia in WA.
Scott Print says this purchase of Fineline is continuing its growth strategy across its four pillars: graphic design, offset, digital and large format.
John Scott, general manager of Scott Print says the company has taken on all staff from Fineline, growing Scott Print to 64 employees.
Scott says, “We have been actively looking for potential companies to acquire as part of our growth strategy. Fineline was a perfect complement to our digital printing business.”

Scott says he is delighted with the expansion which more than doubles its digital capacity in WA taking on the Fineline equipment, “The staff at Fineline are well trained and know their stuff. They have come from the digital world and understand the fast pace and quick turnaround requirements from all of our clients.
“Customer service is number one to them so it aligns perfectly with our culture. We are excited to be expanding this area of our business and looking into further expansion in our other three key areas as part of our growth strategy. Overnight we changed our make-up from 75 per cent offset, 15 per cent plus digital to closer to 60 per cent 40 per cent. We are seeing growth in our other areas too.”
After the acquisition Scott Print’s equipment includes a Fuji Xerox PC1000, two Fuji Xerox 1000i’s 5 Colours, a Xerox Nuvera 200, a Xerox Nuvera 288, a Docutech 125F and a Fuji Xerox PC700.
