L-R Scott Tilley and Lee Tilley from Fine Print (Stockport) Ltd with Gary Monaghan, IFS sales
Commercial printer Fine Print (Stockport) has chosen a B2 Horizon AFC 566FG folder from Intelligent Finishing Systems to support small production. The deal was signed at IPEX 2017.
The Stockport family-run firm produces a wide range of commercial print from leaflets to complex corporate brochures, folders and magazines for a wide range of local and national operations.
The Horizon AFC-566FG is an automated super-B2 system equipped with six buckles and cross knife, with two buckles under the cross knife enabling 17 fold patterns.
‘The Horizon folder was one of a number of things we came to IPEX to look at,’ explained Lee Tilley, co-director along with brother Scott Tilley. ‘We are being asked to do a lot more small format work and wanted a system that was quick to set up and easy to run. The demo went well and that convinced us.’
‘We were sending this work out and so had to wait for it to be returned,’ added Scott Tilley. ‘That meant a lead time of a couple of days. Now we will be able to do it inhouse which will be much faster and also save costs.’
‘We will also be able to manage a wider range of options,’ continued Lee. ‘It will mean we can handle about 99% of work in house.
‘We expect return on investment in two years,’ he concluded.
