swissQprint users identify new markets

For the past 15 years, advances in wide-format printing technologies—especially UV flatbeds—have redefined what “print” is, opening up new opportunities for print service providers to offer “high-value print applications.” A new WhatTheyThink white paper, “Finding New Profit Centers with swissQprint,” sponsored by swissQprint, looks at these advances, the current state of wide-format printing equipment, and how two companies are using swissQprint wide-format printers to pursue high-margin projects. Ultimately, UV flatbeds are creating what are known as “high-value print applications,” print products for which shops can charge a premium. The reason shops can charge a premium for them is that they often involve specialty substrates that require equipment and/or expertise beyond what the average wide-format or commercial print shop may possess.

Two swissQprint customers, Omaha, Neb.’s RENZE and Wilmington, Del.’s Port City Signs, talk about how their investment in swissQprint UV flatbed printers has opened up new application areas to pursue—and potential new customers.

In this white paper, you’ll learn:

  • What are the capabilities to today’s UV flatbed wide-format printers?
  • What are swissQprint’s UV flatbed offerings?
  • How have display graphics providers—specifically users of swissQprint equipment—exploited these capabilities to open up new application opportunities?
