Fife firm looks forward to the Polar effect

Print Solutions

Multiprint (Scotland) is to replace a Perfecta 76 with a Polar 78 N Plus.

Jay Todd, managing director of the Fife company, said: ‘We decided to replace our old guillotine and we wanted the very best. It was a straightforward choice. Polar machines have the reputation for build and longevity and with Heidelberg supplying you know exactly what you are getting.’

The company needs two cutting machines, for back up as well as volume. Moving from a 76 cm to a 78 cm width machine will give it a little more cutting flexibility but Multiprint was especially pleased to be able to have extended air tables so that it can use its stacklift for loading and piles can be easily manipulated making the cutting process more efficient. The Optiknife makes knife changing quick and safe and Jay believes that the graphic user interface will simplify operation and training.

‘We are a family business and our operators are kept informed of our plans and the production manager was very involved with the decision making on this guillotine,’ added Jay. ‘The team is delighted we are investing in this area.’

Multiprint produces a wide range of print for customers in Fife and across Scotland so the guillotine will be kept busy cutting business cards, leaflets, booklets, brochures and all other types of commercial work.

The Polar N series is the 11th generation of guillotine produced by the German manufacturer.
