Investing in the Best
We are constantly looking to see how new technology can help us to provide better value for our customers and our ongoing investment programme reflects our ambitions to constantly improve on the service, flexibility and value we believe we offer to our customers.
Our World Leading Diamond V3000 in-line UV Mitsubishi press was commissioned in February 2009 and installed to supplement our existing Komori Press. This has improved productivity and reduced down time as well as delivering a tangible increase in quality, printing the sharpest dot, at speed. It enables us to apply a range of coatings, from ‘luxury matt’ to ‘high gloss’ onto a wide range of substrates utilising the benefits of both interdeck and UV dryers.
A CIP4 link direct from the pre press repro department, sending ink settings direct to the press, ensures quick make-ready offering the benefit of making smaller runs more cost effective. The diamond achieves running speeds of up to 16000 sheets per hour.
In December 2010 we supplemented our existing carton gluing lines with a new, state of the art, bobst folder gluer, giving greater flexibility of design styles and improved production speeds. We have also recently installed a second CAD sample making cutting station to improve the service we can offer in carton constructional design.
