Based in one of Ireland’s top tourist towns, Killarney, Murphy Print is surrounded by numerous hotels, restaurants, and commercial and visitor organisations that want immediate, top-quality service.
Located in Woodlands Industrial Estate, Park Road, it provides a comprehensive design and printing service – commercial printing, presentation folders, docket books, stationery/logo design, corporate identity, large-format displays, interior and exterior signage, etc.
Using digital printing means it can tailor print runs to suit customer’s immediate requirements while keeping costs low.
Barry Murphy says he “got the printing bug” and set up the company back in 1984. Customers are mostly based in Co Kerry but also further afield, and the company has a number of national and international contracts. He puts the emphasis on “service and quality”.
Three years ago, Murphy Print decided to close down its litho printing section and to concentrate on its digital process. “It’s a formula that works for us. For smaller jobs, litho doesn’t compare with digital, which is much quicker, and the quality is just as good if not better.”
“…a big leap up from our previous machine”
digitalprint.ie launched the new Develop +2060XL in March 2017 and delivered one of the first machines to Murphy Print. It had a Develop +1060L, the previous generation, also supplied by digitalprint.ie, but Barry says it was time to upgrade. “Volume has increased greatly – and with the new machine we could go into a different league. We’ve greatly increased our volume in just two months.”
“The Develop +2060XL is faster, has great range, from envelopes to banners. It’s quick and reliable, the quality is great, and the range of sizes is vast – from 90 x 148mm to 330 x 1,200mm. We can target new areas with the envelope printing, while registration with the electronic front and side lay ensures precise registration. The Develop +2060XL is a big leap up from the previous machine, and running costs are lower.”
Barry is highly satisfied with digitalprint.ie’s support and service. “It’s the second machine we have installed from digitalprint.ie. They’re really good, very responsive, very professional. Their staff know their stuff and promptly sort out any problems that arise.”
