Ghana’s digital print market is set to receive a major boost following the rollout of SkySat’s latest range of equipment.

The new Konica Minolta digital printing system, introduced by the Accra-based digital technology company, has been designed to improve efficiency and enhance print quality.

The new products from SkySat include, bizhub C257i, bizhub C2511, and bizhub C301i multifunctional printers.

Launched on Thursday, May 14, in Accra, the three pieces of equipment have been designed to offer a range of functions, including colour printing, scanning, copying, duplex printing, among others.

The machines also support cloud connectivity and print monitoring features that prevent third-party intrusion and enhance overall data security.

Other products by SkySat the AccurioPress series, AccurioLabel systems, Jet Varnish technologies and YSoft print management software were also outdoored during the event.

Speaking at the event, the Group Managing Director of TG Holdings Ghana Company Limited, the parent company of SkySat, Tunde Macaulay, noted that the Konica Minolta technology has been introduced to Ghana to solve challenges in the printing industry. Thus, supporting businesses with faster and reliable print solutions.

The Group Managing Director of TG Holdings noted, “So, we’re here to reimagine Konica Minolta technology in Ghana, brought to Ghana by SkySat, across the printing spectrum, from office printing to large industrial printing machines.The products are good, but it’s about packaging. Come to Skysat, get the original part of Konica Minolta and we have the latest technology”.

He emphasised that the technology company had all groups of users in mind while developing the machines, therefore, they have been built to enable businesses, schools, churches, manufacturers, and commercial printing houses to operate without challenges.

Additionally, he encouraged all groups to adopt the machines, noting that they would reduce the need to rely on external printing houses for their materials, as the equipment is capable of producing a wide range of items, including books, certificates, examination papers, posters, banners, labels, and packaging materials.

He stated, “This helps schools reduce their operating costs and also facilitates education in Ghana”. Also speaking after the event, the former Minister of Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, lauded the company for its innovative product, noting that Ghana could improve access to education through the use of these printers, as they would help reduce the high costs associated with large-scale printing.

The Group Sales Director of TG Holdings Ghana Company Limited, Nana Kwame Adu-Gyamfi, has noted that the machines stand tall amongst all the others currently in the market. He explained that their security features, such as watermarks and holograms, rank them come second to none.

“We launched the latest brand of Konica Minolta products in Ghana, and these are the most efficient and the highest among the technology operations when it comes to Ghana. We can watermark your printing, we can give it holograms, we can give it any security feature that you want,” he emphasised.

Meanwhile, customers who purchase the printers will benefit from free maintenance service for one year, while consumables such as ink, toner, and other supplies will be offered at a fixed price throughout the same period.

According to the General Manager of Skysat Technologies Ghana Limited, Vibin Lesly,“So if a customer is buying a machine, we provide free service for one year, and for one year the consumables come at a fixed price. So whatever happens, whether prices go up or down, we are not going to change it. The customer remains on the same price throughout the contract period. He added, “So, during this event, if a customer is planning to book a machine, they are getting a 10% discount on the machine and then an aggressive service contract.”
