Superior Creative will take delivery of a new digital press from Heidelberg at the end of April 2019. A Versafire EP will supersede one of its two Linoprint presses to give the company a faster, more industrial press with a higher output capacity.
Richard Blueitt, operations director, said, ‘The new Versafire EP is considerably faster than the Linoprint it replaces, is capable of more clicks and able to print on thicker stock, right up to 470gsm. It will handle a wide range of work including PoS, voucher books with personalised data, and social stationery. Quality is assured with an image resolution of up to 4800 x 2400dpi. The run lengths will vary widely, depending on the product and job specifications.’
Current staff will man the new press which will run on a 12-hour daily shift. Little training is anticipated because the minders are familiar with the technology already.
