For more than two decades, Konica Minolta and Snap Macquarie Park have evolved together, building a partnership centred on innovation, automation, and reliability.
With the latest AccurioPress investment, the business is now delivering faster turnaround times, greater precision, and expanded production capabilities across its growing multi-site operation.
Snap Macquarie Park has strengthened its long-standing partnership with Konica Minolta Australia through the installation of the AccurioPress C12000 production print system featuring Auto Quality Adjustment (AQA) with integrated Plockmatic finishing, helping it deliver faster turnaround times, automated booklet production, and consistent, high-quality output for commercial and pharmaceutical clients across its growing multi-site operation.
Snap Macquarie has relied on Konica Minolta to deliver quality, consistency, and efficiency since 2005, beginning with its first beta digital press – the C8050, and has progressed through every major product evolution, with each device delivering more capability to match the business’s growing demands.
For more than 20 years, this partnership has been built on performance, innovation, and trust, with the business consistently investing in the latest production technology to stay ahead of customer expectations.
The expectations from customers around speed and quality have continued to increase, especially for short-run, same-day booklets. Snap Macquarie needed a solution to eliminate outsourcing, reduce handling time, and bring full control in-house.
“The second a company falls behind on technology in the print industry, they start letting customers down; there’s no margin for error when delivering same-day, high-volume jobs,” said Ricky Makan, director, Snap Macquarie.
“Customer expectations have outpaced what legacy devices can deliver, especially for turnaround times and print quality. If we hadn’t evolved with Konica Minolta and each new model that became available, we would be stuck troubleshooting or outsourcing while competitors delivered on time.
“Snap Macquarie has built a reputation on speed, quality, and reliability; there’s no way to maintain that with ageing equipment. The business was approaching the limits of what previous devices could handle. Not upgrading would have meant turning away work or compromising on finish, and neither of those is acceptable for us.”
This investment also supports the broader multi-site operation as the business continues to go from strength-to-strength with the Snap Waitara expansion. There are now four Konica Minolta production machines across both Snap Macquarie and Waitara, including the C12000, C7100, and C4080, providing flexibility across high-volume commercial and specialised print work.
Snap Macquarie has seen significant gains in efficiency, output quality, and customer satisfaction since implementing the C12000. Jobs that once took days can now be delivered within hours, with greater consistency and less manual intervention.
The AQA system delivers colour consistency and accurate registration without operator intervention, while real-time diagnostics let Konica Minolta monitor machine health proactively and resolve issues before they affect production.
“Snap Macquarie has built its business by growing with Konica Minolta, adopting the right technologies at the right time and always knowing there’s a trusted support team behind it,” said Nelson So, lead operator, Snap Macquarie.
“This level of insight and responsiveness keeps the machine running at peak performance, leading to less downtime, less waste, and fewer jams. AQA has transformed how the team approaches daily readiness – it’s a quiet, consistent gain that adds up every day.”
“Working with Konica Minolta has been well worth the investment for Snap Macquarie. The people, the machines, and the support all come together in a partnership that’s been built over years and continues to deliver. This isn’t just another vendor-client relationship; it’s a shared investment in getting the job done right, every time,” Makan concluded.
