A Warwickshire manufacturer of refuse collecting vehicles has taken receipt of the very first job to run off a Jet Press 720S in the UK. ‘We received the artwork at 10 am – with delivery required that afternoon,’ said Emmerson press operations director Jamie Emmerson. ‘We knew immediately that on that timescale and at that sort of run length, it was a job for the Jet Press.

‘The customer required three versions of an A2 Poster, 50 copies of each – and they had to be of the highest quality. The Jet Press was well up to the task, as we knew it would be. The customer loved the vivid colours we were able to produce and we were thrilled with the level of quality we were able to deliver to them with such a tight turnaround.’

‘We are really excited to see our new press up and running,’ added sales director John Emmerson. ‘Fujifilm has done an excellent job with the install and the training to get us to this point so quickly, and now we are delighted that our customers have now begun to see for themselves what we have already seen on visits to working Jet Press installations in Germany and the Netherlands.

‘The quality of work this machine is capable of, and the speed with which it delivers, has already impressed one customer – and from the feedback it is clear it is going to impress a lot more. Our capacity to take on new work has increased dramatically, and as a direct result we are now actively recruiting for an additional sales person to help bring that work in.’

The Jet Press 720S will be on display at drupa 2016 (hall 8b, stand A25).
