Case Study: Optimizing Medical Workspace and Operations with SubLow®
Executive Summary
This case study highlights how a clinic in Yamaguchi Prefecture successfully integrated A3 printing capabilities into a confined reception area while eliminating the administrative burden of supply management through our 36-month subscription service, SubLow.
Product Performance
The Brother MFC-J5630CDW is a high-performance, business-grade A3 inkjet multifunctional printer designed for space-critical environments. Despite its compact footprint (530mm x 398mm), it delivers professional speeds of 20 images per minute in color and 22 in monochrome. The device features robust security with advanced encryption and supports diverse operating systems including Windows 11, macOS, and Chrome OS, ensuring seamless integration into modern IT infrastructures.
Delivery Profile
Client: Medical Clinic
Industry: Healthcare
Scale: Small-scale Practice
Region: Yamaguchi Prefecture
Project ID: 25091502
The Challenge
The clinic faced a critical dilemma: the urgent need for A3 printing within a very limited reception space. Standard office-grade copiers were too bulky for the counter, yet consumer-grade inkjet printers failed to meet professional standards regarding durability and ink quality—specifically the risk of smudging on patient documents. Additionally, the management sought to reduce the operational overhead associated with ink inventory tracking and maintenance response times.
Our Solution and Innovation
We implemented the SubLow 36-month subscription model, providing a high-durability business inkjet solution using exclusively water-resistant pigment inks. This ensures that printed materials remain legible even if exposed to moisture, a vital requirement for patient-facing documents. To eliminate administrative friction, we established an automated supply chain where ink is delivered just-in-time based on usage. Our “zero-downtime” support package includes rapid on-site repair or hardware replacement, mitigating operational risks.
Key Benefits and Results
The implementation transformed the workspace by allowing staff to perform all A3 tasks directly at the counter, significantly improving workflow and patient interaction. By moving to a flat-rate subscription that includes all consumables, the clinic eliminated the hidden costs of manual procurement and inventory management. The high-speed output and laser-equivalent quality have bolstered efficiency during peak hours, ensuring that document production never becomes a bottleneck for patient care.
