The lenouvelr Group is accelerating its transition to digital production, ensuring greater flexibility in production between its various sites, and offering its customers more application possibilities, following major investments in Konica Minolta technologies.
The AccurioJet KM-1e HD LED UV inkjet digital production press and MOTIONCUTTER digital high-speed laser sheetfed system from Konica Minolta have been successfully installed at Imprimerie Connivence in Ange, western France, which is one of the 10 companies within the lenouvelr Group. More than half of Imprimerie Connivence’s business is in commercial production, but it also has a substantial presence in wide format and packaging markets.
Packaging and photobook applications are two growth areas for the lenouvelr Group, which sees the Konica Minolta AccurioJet KM-1e HD as a natural successor to offset technology. With print quality equivalent to or better than offset, lenouvelr Group sees photobooks as a market to be developed in the future. And the MOTIONCUTTER from Konica Minolta will play a key role in custom printing and many other business applications.
Both investments by the lenouvelr Group are part of a strategic plan to reduce waste and further capitalise on a shift to web-to-print operations. This business area has seen a 30% uplift since its Conniweb online platform was created just over three years ago where responsiveness and speed of delivery are crucial. The site enables customers to find all the communication media they need in just a few clicks.
The lenouvelr Group already has Konica Minolta AccurioPress C14000/C12000 and AccurioPrint C6100 and AccurioLabel 190 toner machines, plus a JETVarnish 3DS digital finishing system MGI Digital Technology.
