RGS Group Delivers Quality Large-Format Prints at High Speed Originally founded in 1993, and rebranded “The HP PageWide XL 8000 was top of the list because it delivers the detail we need at high speeds but also provides a flexible approach to settings and file conversion,” says Billy Hamilton, CEO, RGS Group. “Previously, getting line weights and screen patterns exactly right was a challenge and time-consuming. Now, the quality is a given and there is far less playing around with file formats. We can print straight from the raw client file and the quality will be exceptional.” Based on HP Thermal Inkjet technology and HP PageWide XL pigment ink, HP PageWide Technology offers RGS high quality at fast speeds. The printers are scalable to meet a wide range of RGS’s application and performance requirements—from technical drawings to promotional posters, while saving up to 50% in total production costs. They enable RGS to produce durable technical documents up to 40" wide with crisp lines, fine detail, and smooth grayscales that beat LED. RGS has been delighted with the performance, speed, and reliability of its new HP PageWide XL printers. It has also been able to introduce these benefits without increasing its pricing as the cost per square foot is practically identical to its old machines. “Productivity and efficiency have increased because it is so user-friendly and requires no tiresome tinkering with file formats and settings. It even saves our clients time as they no longer need to provide us with specific formats and can just give us the raw file,” comments Hamilton. “When it comes to reliability, we push large volumes through daily and have had no downtime to speak of or much call for HP support. As for speed, the HP PageWide XL printers can produce in half an hour what would have taken our old plotter a whole night to print.” Not only can RGS service its existing customer base more promptly, it can also look to new markets thanks to the variety of substrates it can now offer: “Different materials allow us to be competitive in the poster market, which is huge in Las Vegas, and we expect that part of the business to grow, thanks to HP,” remarks Hamilton. “HP has proven it can provide a high-quality, fast color inkjet printer whose running costs match that of traditional black and white toner,” concludes Hamilton. “When we are looking to bolster our overseas production, we will certainly put it at the top of the list.” NSF Ultra Foil Press LARGE FORMAT FOIL STAMPING AND DIE CUTTING PRESS New!

THERM-O-TYPE DIGITAL FINISHING SOLUTIONS 800.237.9630 WWW.THERMOTYPE.COM OUTSIDE THE U.S.A. 941.488.0123 in 2005, the RGS Group is a world player in the dynamic global reprographic industry, with offices in Las Vegas and Singapore. It caters primarily to architects and builders, providing the detailed artwork required in construction. When its old fleet of high-volume large-format printers needed replacing, RGS turned to the HP (Booth 1825) PageWide XL 8000 Printer. RGS Group has significant ongoing demand for accurate, large-format, color prints, and its print volume has increased by 40% over the last two years, providing further impetus to expand its printer fleet and introduce faster technology without compromising on quality. Having consulted with long-term partner CSDS, one of the leading HP DesignJet resellers in the U.S., RGS came to the conclusion that only the HP Page- Wide XL 8000 printer could meet its needs and allow it to both increase production volume and offer new print solutions. In early 2016, it installed two HP PageWide XL 8000 printers to cope with the growing demand and to extend the services it could offer to clients to include posters and other new items.
