Pixartprinting

Online Printing Services

Established in 1994 by the businessman Matteo Rigamonti as a service bureau for traditional printing, and transformed into an e-Commerce printing company in 2000. The new millennium marked a turning point for Pixartprinting who addresses the market with the web-to-print formula, thus modifying over the time a traditional workflow into a totally industrial one. At the time it was an innovative business model, implemented in a mature market, which has allowed, during the years, to achieve leadership in Italy, together with a plan to expand across the border. Pixartprinting is one of the European web-to-print companies for professional customers. It works and produces at the Headquarters located in Quarto D’Altino (VE) which covers an area of 18,000 sq.m, currently employing about 315 employees working in three shifts, thus guaranteeing a 7-day a week service to approximately 80,000 customers in Europe. By 2014 further 12,000 sq.m will be added, making a total production area of 30,000 sq.m. The production area has been designed by implementing the best system now available and is virtually divided in two mirroring production lines: the first line for small size formats and the second for large size formats. In the middle there is the shipping department, where the two chains convey. The small size format area starts from the warehouse responsible for paper stocks, moving to the printing process itself and to the finishing, and to end with the shipping. Similarly, the large size format area has a warehouse for the storage of strong media and spools, develops flatbed and roll to roll printing systems, and moves then to the finishing and shipping processes. Small Size Digital Format When printing multiple sheets for the production of catalogues and books bound with staples, paperbacks fretted or glued in small and medium runs, digital technology continues to be competitive compared to offset. Pixartprinting has recently announced the purchase of four new HP Indigo 7600, which go alongside the four 7500 already installed. The new 7600 are equipped with Automatic Alert Agent, a control system that detects and signals the operator for any differences between the digital file and the machine printed sheet. Also the 7500 already installed will be upgraded to the new models. Small Size Offset Format A ‘new’ technology for Pixartprinting that has today deployed two Komori Lithrone GL 840 P 8 colour 70x100, complete with the new synchronised plate exchange, and installed in the Venetian company as world premiere. A technology complementary to the digital, that is particularly competitive for the company in the case of single sheet for medium to high volume runs.. Large Size Format Assets Pride of the Pixartprinting large size format department is the revolutionary Durst P10 technology, a guarantee for Fine Art quality and utmost competitiveness. Pixartprinting today boasts the largest installation for this technology in the world, with 3 P10 roll to roll systems dedicated to micro punched and banner systems and 4 P10 flatbed systems in the exclusive CAP configuration, with feeder & stacker that automated the printing process of strong media and cardboard.
