Printed.com has said it is ‘looking forward to expanding its product line and reaching new customers,’ following the installation of a third HP digital printer in 2019.
A new HP Latex R2000 was installed at the company’s Northumberland premises in July by supplier Papergraphics. It joins an existing fleet of digital presses, all of which are involved in producing an ever-expanding range of printed products, from business cards through to leaflets, bound and stapled brochures, posters and display boards and wedding stationery.
The R2000 appealed to Printed.com thanks to its ability to print directly onto a range of rigid and flexible materials, ideal for its growing range of wide-format products. The team initially saw it in action at Fespa, then conducted extensive tests on a demonstration model in the UK before making the final investment decision.
‘Having spent a significant amount of time reviewing the equipment available we chose the R2000 because it delivered what we believed to be the best quality output available,’ said production director David Duncan. ‘Print speeds are impressive and fit the profile of our workflow, the colour consistency across the range of product and stocks we produce is excellent, and the press has an effective front end for job layout and management. The R2000 was also delivered at a very competitive price against comparable devices in the market.
‘Printing white ink is always a challenge on any device but the R2000 is producing some exceptionally high-quality results for us. That coupled with the sheer flexibility of the press makes it an ideal addition to our business. It has improved efficiency and increased capacity in our large format department.’
