Grange Print invests Graphcut

Print Solutions

Nottingham digital print specialist Grange Print has invested in the UK’s first Graphcut 52H fully hydraulic guillotine supplied by Terry Cooper Services.

The addition was part of a £100,000 investment programme to develop a streamlined short run personalised print production department to support the operation’s large format service that counts many national high end brands among its portfolio of clientele.

Also included in the spend was a Konica Minolta bizhub and a Vivid Matrix laminator which will allow us to create foiling and spot UV effects on print.

‘We have a well established large format digital print division with Rolands, Canons and Mimakis and we wanted to support that business with high quality fast turnaround short run print,’ explained managing director Paul Evans.

The Grafcut 52H fully hydraulic system replaces an Ideal 4850. ‘I liked its ease of use and programmability,’ stated Paul. ‘We have a lot of traffic through our website for our personalised print and we need to ensure these are completed as quickly as possible to maximise our profitability. The Graphcut helps us get the work in and out.’

As for return on investment Paul added, ‘We expect all three systems to give us total payback in two to three years based on the volumes we are completing at the moment. We were outsourcing out lamination and small run digital print now we can keep it all in-house. That saves us time and money.’
