As part of the upgrade to the press hall, Printpak has also added CIP profiling capabilities to a Roland 700 press it already had.
The company, trading under the Printpak name, has been a long-standing and exclusive MAN Roland press user.
Pali Sall, Printpak's managing director, explained: "This latest investment will ensure that we are at the cutting edge with regard to press technology, whilst maintaining the high print quality that our customers have been used to.
We have already been very impressed with the productivity of the new press and the downtime we spend making the press ready for a new job is now reduced to just a few minutes." And the company's chairman, Joe Sall, added: "These enhancements tie in well with our latest pre-press investment in the Fujifilm processless CTP system for producing B1+ format plates.
The CTP and press investments mean that we can be up to colour on the machines very quickly, which means less waste and even faster job turnaround time." Printpak operates from a 50,000 square foot factory with room for further expansion when necessary.
The company started life in a factory of no more than 920 square feet and it is able to handle carton production from initial CAD design through to finished boxes.
MAN Roland GB's director of sheetfed sales, Gary Doman, said: "We have worked closely with the team at Printpak to configure a press that will further enhance their reputation as a leading UK carton printer.
This Roland 700 Hiprint investment will help take the business to the next level in terms of its productivity and its performance, with reduced make-readies, accurate and consistent colour monitoring, together with the ability to handle an even wide range of substrates.".
