Fourth-generation John Fisher Printing has invested in a new Zund cutting system to speed up its digital production with an eye on prototype design for the growing packaging and point-of-sale markets. “All this has been put in place to handle an increase in volumes of customers’ digital print requirements and to boost production throughput,” says Tony Fisher, director of POS visual displays & packaging at John Fisher Printing, the iconic Sydney printer established 66 years ago by Tony’s grandfather and now based at Marrickville in the inner west.

Printing Industries CEO Bill Healey says the Value of Paper and Print campaign (VoPP), launched today with the release of The Industry Report 2014, provided a landmark resource to benefit every printing company in the country.

Two Sydney printers threw open their doors last night to show the industry how they successfully diversified their businesses, and to encourage others to do the same. Dozens of printers turned up to the LIA-sponsored event to get a peak under the hood of Marrickville firms John Fisher Printing and Imagination Graphics as directors Tony Fisher and Emmanuel Buhagiar showed how their businesses have evolved over the past few years.

The trajectory into oversized formats taken by iconic Sydney printer John Fisher Printing (JFP) has been from the quality offset market, which remains its core – retail, pharmaceutical, publishing and agency work, as well as promotional material and direct marketing (with VDP), down to managing fulfilment and distribution.
