(L-R) Hartgraph managing directors Steve Walters and Tony Brooks with the Horizon AF-406F
Amersham-based Hartgraph has expanded its folding capabilities with investment in a Horizon AF-406F automated folder from Intelligent Finishing Systems.
‘We chose Horizon AF-406F for a number of reasons,’ said Steve Walters, joint managing director. ‘We particularly liked the AF-406F’s ease of set-up and its simple to operate touch screen with job memory storage, combined with high accuracy and fast production speed.’
The commercial print and packaging company specialises in literature, manual, book production and packaging, and runs litho and digital capabilities with two Heidelberg SpeedMaster XL75 5-colour plus coater with Inpress control, a Ricoh C751 Digital and a Ricoh C7100 Digital Press (clear spot varnish, fluro and white toner); supported by a range of bindery equipment.
Mr Walters continued, ‘[The folder] has really sped up our production and expanded our capacity. It will also help us to move jobs through the building quicker and will enable us to target new work. As a result of the increased capacity the system offers, we have already seen the benefits with a streamlined workflow that is more efficient and effective.’
