Foliant Mercury 530SF
Investment in a B2+ Foliant Mercury 530SF laminator from Intelligent Finishing Systems has enhanced in house lamination at Interprint.
The Swindon general commercial printer works closely with design agencies. It produces a wide range of print including flyers, leaflets, folders, postcards, posters, brochures, business cards, letterheads, catalogues, POS, exhibition stands, banners, promotional items and signage.
Production manager Shawn Martin said, ‘We brought our lamination in-house with a smaller system, but it soon became clear we needed a more productive solution to manage the work. The better feeder head means it can run slightly quicker. There is also a better snap between sheets and an improved decurler.’
The affordable addition of foiling capabilities with theFoliant Multi-functional Inprinting Unitwas another plus. Mr Martin continued, ‘We work with a lot of design agencies and we will now be able to offer them additional foiling services in a cost-effective way.’
The unit runs a wide range of colours including gold, silver, red and green and a clear gloss for spot varnish effects. It suits a broad range of end uses from corporate stationery to POS and book covers.
‘The system has just gone in but we expect it will pay for itself from the day one. We are pleased with it so far,’ concluded Mr Martin.
