They have steadily expanded by offering fast, high-quality, low-cost, high-mix, short-run printing of business cards as wellas leaflets, fliers, and a wide range of novelty items primarily through online orders.

growth since its founding in 2003. Over the 9years from the start of their instant-drying
printing business with the purchase of aUV-equipped Ryobi 754 B2-size press in 2004
up until 2013, Print City purchased a total ofseven Ryobi presses to continuously expand
and upgrade their production system. In 2016,
in order to further increase productivity, theypurchased an RMGT 1050TP-8 B1-size 8-color
tandem perfector for printing mainly fliers. With
its maximum sheet size of 1,060 x 758 mm, thistandem perfector can perform double-sided
printing of 10 A4-size sheets or 16 B5-size
sheets. The dramatic increase in production
efficiency greatly contributed to Print City’ sgrowth. Over the succeeding years, the company has continued to strategically upgrade
their production line with the purchase of an
RMGT 790ST-5XL + SLD 5-color B2-size press
in 2017, an RMGT 970PF-8 + LED-UV A1-plus
size convertible perfector in 2022, and an
RMGT 1060ST-4 4-color B1-size press in 2023.
By building their main production system
around RMGT presses and moving to LED-UVprinting, they have succeeded in increasing
productivity and further shortening leadtimes. The company is currently operating five
RMGT presses and printing at a constant rate

The RMGT 1060ST-4 delivers high-quality printing of covers, catalogs,
brochures, and other productsof 600 to 800 plates a day.
President Cheon Ho-gyu discussed Print City’s
management philosophy. “Our management
philosophy primarily focuses on two things,
promoting employee welfare and offering
stress-free online printing services for business cards and fliers. For online business cardorders received by 3 p.m., we can deliver the
printed business cards to the customer between 6 and 7 p.m. the same day. We haveextensive experience and expertise in business card printing and a proven track record.
Customers can select from among the many
templates on our website that are available fordownload. Customers can also visit any of ourdelivery centers to see actual samples produced using various paper types and printing
methods.”“Business cards are mostly ordered in very
short runs of 50, 100, 200 or 1,000. To efficiently
run such jobs, it is important to minimize thetime required for job changeover. That’ s whereRMGT presses help out. Everything from paper
setting and plate changing to register setting
and density adjustment up to the advancesheet is very fast. For example, with the970PF-8, when printing business cards in runsof 200, we can print an average of 16 jobs perhour in straight printing mode or 8 jobs perhour in perfecting mode. Seventy percent ofthe work we do on the 970PF-8 is businesscards, with the remaining 30% being magazine printing. This press has played a majorrole in helping us achieve our goal of fasterbusiness card printing.”
Regarding LED-UV, president Cheon explained:

The LED-UV equipped 970PF-8 rapidly
responds to operator requirements“This is our first experience with LED-UV.
Seeing that it has lower power consumption
and improved environmental features versus
standard UV, we had long been interested intrying out this technology to achieve an improved, powderless work environment. So far
the results have been excellent, and in thefuture we feel that the technological innovation of LED-UV printing will become a vitalcore technology for our company.”
President Cheon also shared the following.
“Our RMGT presses have enabled us to shorten operating time, reducing the burden on ouroperators. The RMGT 9 series and 10 seriespresses are a perfect fit for us as a company
specializing in printing business cards andfliers with short lead times. We’ve had positive
feedback and our volume of work has beensteadily increasing. Moving forward, we willcontinue to rely on the exceptional service
and support of RMGT and their sales agents tocontinue growing our business.”
