Over to you... Steve Maycock Production director, C3 Midlands

Printer Q&A

What’s having the greatest impact on your business at the moment?

Brexit is the biggest issue. Almost immediately after the referendum suppliers were passing on increases and we’ve had them on a regular basis ever since.

Where do you see the greatest wide-format opportunities?

Retail and exhibition are always our main targets along with agency work, but the quality of our machinery is moving us into a more bespoke market also.

What would make your day-to-day operations easier?

Haha.....longer deadlines and more concise briefs as always.

Your favourite bit of kit is..?

To be honest there’s not one favourite bit of kit but a combination of several. The two SwissQprint printers along with the DYSS running in harmony together is a game changer for us. Quality, productivity and reliability - along with the great service both AGCad and Spandex provide - allow us to bring more work in and increase the techniques we can offer to our clients.

What’s the best bit of business advice you’ve been given?

We all know our goals and we must attain them no matter what obstacles lie in our way.

What are you most proud of achieving?

Print buying companies that supply quantity over quality and smash the bottom line.

What lesson does the wide-format sector need to learn?

That we are all in the same game and there is enough work for all of us.
