“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.
