Baumann-Wohlenberg high speed cutters in operation at Deanprint
Two new Baumann-Wohlenberg cutters, both supplied by UK & Ireland agent, Friedheim International, are assisting printing and bookbinding services at Deanprint.
‘Following the purchase of two Baumann-Wohlenberg high speed cutters in 2014 we have been very pleased with these new 115s,’ said Kevin Lee, operations director. ‘It was a natural step when other dated machines needed replacing that we went for a further two Baumann-Wohlenbergs. This provides us with uniform skills and quality processes from one machine to another, and enables us to transfer cutting programs from machine to machine when required.’
The length of print runs undertaken at Deanprint can be ‘anything and everything’, although the majority involve two-colour printing with runs from 1000 to 100,000 sheets; case bound book runs of 100-3000 tend to be the norm.
‘Our workload is split almost equally between educational, government and trade work, and depending on the job, this can involve the full process of origination, printing and finishing with over 100 pieces of finishing equipment,’ explained Mr Lee.
‘We are pleased with our latest Baumann-Wohlenberg 115 high speed cutters, and this continues our on-going investment in plant in replacing all major items of finishing equipment over the past six years,’ he added.
