Iconic Northland company Jeff Oliver Print recently invested in a state of the art Konica Minolta digital press to ensure their business stays at the cutting edge of the industry. Leaders in their field for the past 26 years, they understand the importance of keeping up with the latest technological advancements.
Owners Dean and Judy Oliver say the impressive new machine will allow them to provide better economy and faster turnarounds for customers. They are the only printers north of Auckland to have Konica Minolta's flagship model Bizhub PRESS C8000, which is stacked with high quality, high tech features.
Dean says the remarkable software has the ability to create superior image definition and graphics that are second to none. He says the printer is an investment for the future and one they didn't take lightly.
"It was a huge decision for us and I did a lot of research first to make sure it would enhance our business practices. I went to Auckland with our files to see how they printed and I was impressed with its capabilities." Customers have also responded well to the Bizhub PRESS C8000 and the feedback has been extremely positive.
"The press has allowed us to do a greater range of products, now we can confidently print on thicker card and the finish of work is quite amazing. Its unique stabilising functions mean it maintains high image quality throughout from the first print to the last."
The Oliver's say it is a win/win situation for their business and customers who expect the best quality print available - and its all backed up by Konica Minolta who are a trusted, reputable global brand that prides itself on excellent products and 24/7 technical support.

Business networkers from Whangarei found a novel way to raise money for the charity Hospice, with a Masterchef-style dessert-making competition last Wednesday evening.
The ‘Devilish Desserts’ competition, organised by the Riverside BNI Chapter and held at A’Fare catering venue in Whangarei, was a huge success. Over 40 people attended the event, with seven teams competing for the coveted BNI Trophy.
Teams of up to five contestants were tasked with creating the most ‘devilish dessert’ from a selection of secret ingredients, and were given just 20 minutes to create their culinary masterpiece. Entries were judged on taste, presentation and theme by A’Fare owner Mandy. Teams were awarded prizes for categories such as best-tasting dessert, as well as messiest and noisiest team, and even most devious cheats.
The BNI Trophy was awarded to the Orange Team from the BNI Riverside Chapter for their best-tasting tiramisu. However, every team still got to take home a prize, thanks to the event’s generous sponsors – all local businesses – who donated the prize packs.
While the judge pontificated, masticated and ruminated over the desserts, a charity auction was held by Craig Kerr of Maggie Dixon Real Estate. Items to be auctioned off were donated by BNI members and Whangarei businesses, and included a signed Vodafone Warriors poster, stand-up paddleboard lessons and a bagful of wine and beer, plus many others.
Event organiser Margie Hannon of Zeald.com said “It was a fantastic evening and everyone had a great time. We raised heaps of money for Hospice, thanks to all the businesses who donated prizes for the competition and things to be auctioned off. And it was a really good networking opportunity as well.”
All proceeds from the evening are being donated to Hospice, and the BNI Riverside Chapter has pledged to make the total up to $1,000 with a donation from their own chapter.
The BNI Riverside Chapter meets every Wednesday morning at 7am at A’Fare on Lower Dent Street, for breakfast and business networking. They invite all business people to come along and check it out – simply visit http://riverside.bnisite.com for more information.
