The Noel Tatt Group, based in Canterbury, placed an order for a Duplo DC-745 cutter/creaser from Fujifilm at drupa earlier this month. This follows a history of purchases from Fujifilm in the last four years, including two Xerox 700 digital presses.
The company has recently undergone rapid expansion, and used drupa to discuss its next investment to meet customer demand.
The group specialises in supplying greetings cards to independent retailers and distributors, while its sister company, Impress Publishing, supplies greeting cards, leaflets and catalogue fulfilment to charities.
John Cox, studio design manager, said: ‘In the last four years we had invested in two machines from Fujifilm, and growing demand from our customers meant we needed to look at adding further products to our portfolio. Since its launch, we’ve had the Duplo DC-745 in our sights, but as it was so important to ensure that the new machine met our needs, we carefully monitored its progress before making a decision to purchase.’
‘This new machine will allow us, at least, to double our output and consequently we see this investment as a means of increasing our capacity and opening up new business opportunities.”
Announced last year, the Duplo DC-745 supersedes the Duplo DC-645, with increased accuracy and speed, a stop perforator and a faster barcode reader. It adopts what Duplo calls ‘Automated Precision,’ a combination of PC control, integrated image recognition and motorised tooling.
Fujifilm Graphic Systems UK and Duplo have been working together for the last two years.
