Hickling & Squires invests in Xerox Versant

Print Solutions

Hickling & Squires has installed a Xerox Versant 2100 and Versant 80 to help support a surge in demand for short run digital print and personalised, print on-demand contracts.

The Nottingham based company has developed an extensive customer base across the UK serving clients in a number of different industries including retail, leisure, and education as well those in the public sector.

Facing rising demand for more complex digital print projects, Hickling & Squires was looking to invest in the right solution to not only increase its print capacity but also streamline the finishing process. Xerox was able to offer a joint solution with Duplo, whereby the commercial printer also installed a Duplo 350 Digital Booklet System and a Duplo DC-646 slitter/cutter/creaser.

This combined investment, together with FreeFlow Core pre-press automation software, replaced an iGen 4 and has enabled Hickling & Squires to significantly improve its digital print efficiency.

‘As the print market continues to evolve, we focused on transferring our print expertise to build a really competitive digital offering,’ said Lee Jordan, sales director at Hickling & Squires. ‘With the addition of these new Versant presses to our growing operation, we are better equipped than ever to deal with changing volumes and generate print of the highest quality.’
