The Linoprint C751
Raise Print has started using Heidelberg Linoprint technology after the company decided it preferred the finish, which it regards as a better match to litho.
‘Customers don’t mind whether something is printed litho or digital as long as it suits the product. Often the decision is price driven. Most work of under 1,000 sheets will be printed digital here,’ saids Steve Bell, managing director.
The Linoprint 751 has been delivered and has moved swiftly to full production. Its ease of use and the quality of output means it is also used as a proofer for litho, providing a really good simulation of the final result.
‘We are using the same Rip as we had so operators only really had to learn about issues like changing toner. It was very easy to move to full production,’ said Mr Bell. ‘We are pleased to be supplied by Heidelberg where we have established links; the brand and the service doesn’t come better.’
The press will be used for a wide range of commercial work from short run calendars to business cards, booklets and swing tickets. It will operate on a flexible single shift basis.
