Heidelberg expands its postpress parts of the Jagenberg Group acquired services
The Hertford-based UK company will use the press to offer a four-colour plus special and seal options to its customers.
It replaces two older GTOs and gives the company a total of 23 B3 printing units, along with five cylinders and two platens.
Before the introduction of expandable transfer cylinders on the SM52 at Drupa 2004 printers wishing to run heavier stocks would have manually under packed the transfer cylinder but now they simply turn a key, reducing make-ready times and making work that was previously turned away viable.
Run by brothers Mick and Chris Ollard, who had separate visits to Drupa, the company has expanded as a specialist in B3 offset with additional thermography, foiling, embossing and cutting and creasing services.
The company has a 50-50 split between trade and direct work.
"Our company would not be in the position it is today if it had not been for the quality of Heidelberg machines, their advice and service.
It is a first class business, the Rolls Royce of the industry," said Mick Ollard.
