Positive Images UK has invested in several pieces of new machinery. The Surrey-based company has installed a Ricoh Pro C9210 digital press, a Horizon SPF/FC-200L A4 landscape booklet maker and a Heidelberg Suprasetter A74 platesetter.
Launched last year, the C9210 is part of Ricoh’s new flagship series of digital presses and will run alongside Positive’s existing HP Indigo units. The press can produce a banner size of 1030mm in duplex and 1260mm in simplex on substrates up to 450gsm. It can print 135 A4 ppm and an automatic inline calibration system maintains colour consistency and stability. The Horizon SPF/FC-200L will join the company’s existing finishing kit.
‘Our new Ricoh Pro C9210 will make short runs of A4 landscape brochures much more cost-effective and there will be a lot less material wastage,’ explained production director Mike Sullivan.
‘As a company we have always moved with the times and invested in new and leading technology,’ added managing director Danny Sullivan.
Alongside its new Ricoh press, Positive operates HP Indigo digital presses, Heidelberg litho machines and Roland wide-format printers as well as a wide array of direct mail and finishing equipment and machinery.
