Nebraska Printer Installs Konica Minolta AccurioJet KM-1
Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta) is pleased to announce the installation of its AccurioJet KM-1 LED UV inkjet press at Firespring, a strategic marketing, printing and technology solutions provider with locations in Nebraska and Iowa. Nebraska’s first Certified B Corporation, Firespring is dedicated to helping businesses and nonprofits thrive by offering services such as website design, marketing campaigns and print materials to support client growth.
With clients increasingly requiring more personalized content in their print materials, Firespring needed to improve its ability to efficiently handle and print variable data at scale. It needed a press able to handle quantities too large for its digital presses but smaller than what its larger presses were optimized for, particularly when projects required a second pass for customization. The AccurioJet KM-1 press solved the challenge by completing the process in one step, saving time and money and eliminating the need for multiple pieces of equipment.
Firespring had been exploring inkjet presses for some time, recognizing their growing importance as the industry evolves. Inkjet technology’s ability to provide more targeted, customized solutions ensures Firespring remains competitive in a rapidly advancing market toward more personalized, data-driven printing solutions. Additionally, an inkjet solution affords Firespring the flexibility to print larger sheets, improving efficiency for varying print run sizes and better serving the diverse needs of its clients.
“We evaluated several inkjet presses, and the AccurioJet KM-1 was the best fit for the type of work we specialize in. Its quality, low maintenance and ability to handle a wide range of jobs have significantly enhanced our production speed and efficiency. Clients have also noticed the vibrant colors and the rich quality of printing, comparable to offset,” said Emily Lowe, Vice President, Custom Manufacturing, Firespring. “Since we collaborate with so many nonprofits, introducing a press that enhances efficiency will save them both time and money, allowing their dollars to stretch further—a benefit they truly appreciate.”
One of the many ways Firespring shows its commitment to creating meaningful impact is through its Power of 3 program. The company dedicates one percent of its topline revenue to nonprofit organizations, providing essential financial support that helps nonprofits extend their reach and amplify their impact. Firespring also commits three percent of its team’s time to community service, with every full-time team member volunteering one full day each month for a cause that is personally meaningful.
“It is our honor to work with a company doing such remarkable work in the community, which is something we highly value at Konica Minolta,” said Frank Mallozzi, President, IPP, Konica Minolta. “The efficiency we can offer with the AccurioJet KM-1 was a perfect complement to their mission, enabling growth in profitability, which allows Firespring to do that much better. We are proud to be part of their business and look forward to a long partnership.”
