Quality and versatility, determining factors for Cianoplan

Cianoplan decided a few months ago to expand its machinery park with the incorporation of a multi-support digital printing machine from MGI, the MGI Meteor DP 8700 XL +. Asked about the reasons for this decision, Aitor Olaso comments: “Mainly, we were looking for an important leap in quality, since we had detected that the market was beginning to demand quality levels that we were not in a position to offer with the equipment we had. After evaluating the different options available in the market, we decided that the MGI was the one that best suited both our current needs and future ones in the short and medium term ”.

In addition to quality, other factorss were decisive for the company when deciding on this team: significant cost savings, the ability to print on other types of media, such as plastics, the option to produce small runs of envelopes and the ability to work in formats larger than A3. “The fact of being able to work with larger formats - points out the manager of Cianoplan - will allow us the possibility of offering our clients a range of products and services greater than the current one, as well as expanding our current portfolio of clients. The other aspect that led us to choose this machine, its ability to print on a wide variety of media, although it is something that we have not yet explored, we are convinced that in a reasonable time it will be another factor to assess very positively. Our current priority is to produce well with paper and, when we have that under control, we will start testing and experimenting with work on other types of media ".

In the time they have been working with the MGI Meteor DP 8700 XL +, the head of Cianoplan especially highlights the quality they are obtaining. “We are very happy with the machine, for its stability in printing, the continuity in the runs, the reliability of the colors… but especially because of the jump in quality we have obtained, which is what we expected and sometimes even more. Our runs are short and we make many job changes in a day, so having these aspects perfectly controlled is essential. Throughout this process, the response of the technical service and the OMC to any doubt or need has been excellent, we have had their help and advice at all times ".
