PCI Printing Sets Profitable New Course with EFI Pro 16h Hybrid Printers

Boosting Profitability

The two EFI wide-format printers delivered everything PCI Printing was looking for. According to Nix, the company has 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-inch 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 two inches thick.

Other benefits include ink that cures instantaneously, lower ink costs, substantially lower running costs because the device uses less power and generates less heat than PCI Printing’s previous devices, 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 comfortably run both locations with the staff 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,” Nix says. “I love having the machines. They’re great.”
