Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe GmbH has named PLS Print Logistic Services Germany GmbH in Markkleeberg, Germany, as the first European beta site customer for its KM-1 UV digital sheetfed press. Live printing is expected to start in March.
PLS is a subsidiary of the American online printing service OvernightPrints that employs 400 people worldwide, of whom 70 are based in Europe. The company provides a fast overnight, reliable all-round printing service for a wide range of products, servicing clients through its online European web stores.
In the past, PLS has been using both offset and Konica Minolta bizhub products to fulfil its clients’ needs due to the high expectations they place on quality, fast turnaround times and service. PLS’s business model is based on an average run length of 160 sheets. Conventional offset printing has become impractical for the company, because the quantity of wastage using this technology ranges from 70 to 150 sheets per job.
Konica Minolta’s KM-1 was delivered in January 2016 to PLS, which is already a user of inkjet as well as toner and liquid toner digital technology.
The full commercial launch of KM-1 will be at drupa in Düsseldorf, Germany, from May 31 to June 10, 2016.
