PCI Printing Sets New Course with EFI Printers

Boosting profitability

PCI Printing added two Pro 16h printers, and according to Nix, the company streamlined production, increased output, and become more profitable.

PCI Printing has cut printing time in half on most wide-format print jobs. Nix can, for example, print three, double-sided, 24x36" foam boards for the casinos in about 10 minutes, a vast improvement over the 30 to 45 minutes it used to take him. He can also print directly onto substrates up to 2" thick.

Other benefits include ink that cures instantaneously, lower ink costs, lower running costs, and fantastic quality and color output.   

Work that used to be outsourced, which Nix estimates to be about 15% to 20% of total revenue, has come back in house, and Nix can run both locations with the personnel at hand, while cutting back on the draining 70-hour weeks he and his staff were putting in.

“We can now increase output to meet demand without expanding our staff, deliver jobs more quickly, cut costs, eliminate wasted time, and reach a higher level of profitability,” says Nix. “I love having the machines. They’re great.”
