Austin Macauley Publishers Increases In-House Print Capacity

“At the moment we can’t print quickly enough,” said print manager Wesley Urban.

“With two printers we can print double what we’ve been doing. There are also sometimes jobs that can take 10 to 14 hours to print so we can now leave a job like that running and do all the smaller jobs on the other printer.”

The company has almost invested £150,000 recently and is buying altogether new equipment for the new facility.

“By bringing the printing and finishing in-house we have total control of a job from design to finish. This is very important because our production standards are very high. Added to this, we have strict timelines and have been let down on occasions,” said Urban.

By bringing the new machine, the company has the capacity to have 400 runs now in-house and has completed 1000 books of 150 pages each at the moment. Moreover, the company is also looking to have more outsourcing work from other printers.

“The last few months have been crazy, it’s the busiest they’ve ever been,” said Urban.

“When I started I was told I was going to be doing about 2,000 books and 500 hardbacks a month and I’m doing about 10,000.”

Ricoh Pro 8100SE digital printer comes with 1-drum dry electrostatic transfer system having internal transfer belt. Also, it has a newly formulated pulverised toner and can produce up to 1,000K prints monthly. Also, it comes with Oil-less belt-fusing method. The product is highly suitable for the company and hence it will improve the overall printing efficiency.

Tradeprint’s New Offerings

Bespoke-size display board is a new and unique offering by Tradeprint. It will help customers a great deal to reach out to new markets.

“When we brought in the fixed sizes it was a bit of an experiment,” said Barrett-Bunnage, “but what we’ve done now is brought in bespoke sizing and pricing with our simplest and quickest interface yet and we are able top offer some of the lowest prices in the UK for large format products.” From Now onwards, the products will be priced in square metre instead of pricing per product, he further explained.

“We see huge potential in the large-format market. We want to be a one-stop shop for our customers and so we need to carry a full range of products. We are introducing this to small commercial printers and showing them that there are other markets to tap. We want to grow with those businesses,” he explained.

“Because we are part of a group like Cimpress we can leverage that to maximise our volume discounts from the supplier and then pass it on the customer,” he said. “Our price point looks to be competitive but not hugely disruptive – we want to fit in with the rest of the market,” he added.

He explained: “We are a trusted name, our standards and quality are well-known and we’ve been growing exponentially. The major market difference between us and others out there is the price point,  but we don’t want to be cheapest because a large element of what we supply is the whole package. We make a lot of effort not to be value-oriented.”

“Price wars are a huge issue and it’s inevitable people will start them, which means the rest of the market has to respond, but it’s not something that helps the industry. It’s not sustainable.”
