SPD Design & Print saves big money with Mimaki

Print Solutions

Thanks to the new CSAF finance initiative from CMYUK, customers can now potentially save tens of thousands of pounds over the duration of their equipment finance contract.

Glasgow based SPD Design & Print purchased a Mimaki UJV55-320 super wide format printer from CMYUK and benefited from the new initiative. Called CSAF (Consumable Supported Asset Finance), the reward scheme is closely tailored to the needs of the client.

SPD’s chief operations director, Shevy Kapoor, commented: ‘The CSAF rewards scheme on consumable spend was key to us buying the printer through CMYUK. Our spend on materials and ink is currently in the region of £800,000 per annum, so the projected rebates we will earn made CSAF an obvious choice when looking at return on investment. I would recommend both the new CSAF rewards initiative and the CMYUK service.’

The Mimaki UJV55-320 LED UV printer purchased by SPD delivers high quality output for the rapid volume production of signs, banners, windows and retail displays, exhibition graphics and other similar applications up to 3.2 metres wide, with the added versatility of twin roll simultaneous printing.

‘Our strategy at SPD this year is to further improve the great quality of services and products we offer our customers,’ continued Shevy. ‘Investing in the Mimaki will not only help us achieve a terrific quality of output and speed up productivity, it will also open new market opportunities for us, such as exhibitions.’

CMYUK’s senior digital sales consultant Sue Hayward explained how CSAF works for the customer: ‘SPD was looking at a similar printer from another manufacturer but the benefits of CSAF won them over. It quickly understood the financial gains of the scheme and saw how fast it could earn a return on investment. Potentially, over the term of the finance contract, customers like SPD can save tens of thousands of pounds.’

Sue continued, ‘CSAF is a very simple purchasing solution that CMYUK has exclusively developed with Paragon Finance. The customer switches some or all of their material spend to CMYUK, and we will contribute a monthly amount directly into their finance agreement, reducing their monthly payment. The more you purchase from CMYUK, the more you save.’

So how does CSAF work? It couldn’t be easier. Tell CMYUK what materials you buy on a monthly basis. It then analyses the data, and lets you know how much CMYUK will contribute towards your monthly finance agreement. CMYUK guarantees to price match or to beat your current purchase rates and supply you with either the same products or equivalent products of the same quality.

The highly competitive finance is simple too. Your finance agreement with Paragon will have two direct debits every month – one from you, and one from CMYUK. There is no limit to the level of contribution, so you could reduce your monthly finance cost literally to zero. The contribution from CMYUK will continue for as long as you keep purchasing.
