Reduced Waste, Increased Speed Document Despatch's Latest Investment in Digital Print

Reduced Waste, Increased Speed: Document Despatch's Latest Investment in Digital Print

Konica Minolta Enables Document Despatch to Produce Direct Mail On-demand, Faster, Colour Accurate With a New Digital Print Solution!

Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd and workplace technology services provider Ethos have equipped the Basingstoke-based direct mail specialist Document Despatch with the latest AccurioPress C14000e digital production press. This advanced solution enhances product personalisation by leveraging variable data processing for mail merges  and supports a wide range of paper weights, including envelopes. Replacing an existing black-and-white press and a litho press, the AccurioPress C14000e gives Document  Despatch the flexibility to produce direct mail print on-demand. 

Meeting the Demand for Versatile, Personalised Printing

Malcolm Baker, Sales Director at Document Despatch, commented, “We needed a versatile digital print solution capable of handling various substrates, including thick postcards with heavy graphics. Additionally, we sought a future-proof system for database-driven, personalised mail merges across multi-campaigns, ensuring every letter or self-mailer is unique and targeted.” 

Performance and Efficiency Gains

He added, “The AccurioPress C14000e offers simple operation, superb finish, full-colour calibration, and the ability to produce postcards at 10 times the speed of our previous solution”. He added, “Within the first 10 days, we produced over 240,000 multi-merged statement packs for our customers.”

Supporting Sustainability Goals

Sustainability is a priority for Document Despatch and its environmentally conscious clients. The AccurioPress C14000e supports this requirement, incorporating Konica  Minolta’s Simitri® HD toner technology, which lowers fusing temperatures to reduce energy consumption and operating costs. Furthermore, by enabling Document Despatch to do more in-house the company is able to further reduce its carbon footprint.

Operational Benefits and Reduced Overheads

Malcolm added, “By enabling us to fully embrace a ‘just in time’ working model with zero waste and no ‘overs’ or ‘unders’, the new Konica Minolta press delivers significantly reduced warehouse storage costs and the associated sustainability complications, as well as eliminating outsourcing delays, all of which improve customer satisfaction whilst reducing our own overheads and hidden costs.”

Industry Perspective on Direct Mail’s Impact

Rod Heaton, PP & IP Channel Manager – Indirect, Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd also commented, “In a world overwhelmed by digital overload, Document Despatch is proving that direct mail still packs a punch. They’re harnessing the speed of digital print and the precision of variable data to create bold, high-impact mailers that are impossible to ignore. Fully personalised and delivered right on time, Malcolm and his team are setting a new standard for standout customer communication.”
