AJ-1000 Adds Horsepower to Busy Nationwide Printer

Western Japan - After more than 25 years in the screen printing market, Grand Printing Corporation decided it was time to strengthen its relationships with advertising agencies and other businesses.

Over the years, the company had developed an established reputation as a leading nationwide provider of planning, production and finishing services in the printing market including sewing and welding of oversized graphics. With 20 employees and a growing customer base, Grand Printing Corporation needed more horsepower in its production environment. The high-speed AdvancedJET AJ-1000 proved perfect for the demands of this fast-paced business.

“We were looking for a powerful printer to meet the increasing demand for tarpaulin printing,” said Yuji Kodomari, general manager of Grand Printing Corporation. “The AJ-1000 delivers the fast print speeds and wide print heads that we need. It also provides incredible stability and high-quality output at a low initial investment. The AJ-1000 simply outperforms other grand format printers, and our inkjet business has grown tremendously since we brought it on board.”

Kodomari continued, “The AJ-1000 is much more reliable than any other printer we have seen and is very easy to maintain. We do not have any trouble with clogged print heads or other issues that can interrupt printing. This is especially important during unattended overnight jobs. Our prints come out beautifully every time. Even during high-speed printing on tarpaulin, the ink dries quickly and we can move on to the finishing processes for quick delivery of the largest orders.”

“With the AJ-1000, we can meet a wide variety of demands from

Best of all for me as a manager, our staff members are now more confident and motivated to work together. This unity is one of our strengths as a company.”
