Photography album producer Floricolor has expanded its product offering with its investment in the Revoria PC1120.
Floricolor, based in Portugal, serves customers in 27 countries around the globe, producing albums and other printed materials for some of the world’s leading portrait photographers. The company invested in a Jet Press 750S in 2018 and was impressed with its speed, quality and environmental benefits. Now, Floricolor celebrated its investment in Fujifilm’s Revoria PC1120 press with an open house event earlier this year.
Inviting several Portuguese customers, Floricolor and Fujifilm demonstrated the full potential of the new Revoria press – working in tandem with the Jet Press 750S – with printed samples and live demonstrations.
Tiago Yu, CEO of Floricolor, said, ‘Our main market used to be wedding albums, but in recent years we’ve seen the demand for this service decrease. Demand for wedding invitations, however, is still just as strong, so we saw an opportunity to compensate for this loss in wedding album production by entering the wedding invitation space, something which has only been possible with the investment in the Revoria press. It also enables us to print large wedding album covers that we were previously not able to, helping us to expand our product offering and increase our revenue.’
‘We use the PC1120, in combination with other finishing equipment, to offer our customers a range of unique products, using special colours such as gold and silver varnishes. In addition to the special colours, the PC1120 enables us to print on substrates of many thicknesses, sizes and types, including plastic – something that we could not achieve with any comparable press on the market. The machine’s media handling is also particularly impressive. The designers have been very impressed with the results that can be achieved from the Revoria press, particularly the special colours, textures and different substrates. Typically, it would be difficult to achieve a small run order of special colours, but with the Revoria PC1120, we are now able to do just that. All of our customers have been amazed with the quality and turnaround times.’
