Gosport based Ashford Colour Press Ltd is the first UK book publisher to place an order for a Domino K630i. The order was taken at drupa.

Allan Gray, production director, at Ashford, explains how he needed a monochrome solution to sit alongside his two existing HP T200 colour ink jet web presses. ‘Around a third of our digital print volume is monochrome, so we were looking to acquire a system that would allow us to print this work more cost effectively. The more I looked at the Domino K630i, the more impressed I got,’ he said. ‘It was strong in every area – quality of output, running speed, ease of operation, even down to its compact small footprint.’

Allan continued, ‘These benefits made the selection of the Domino K630i an easy decision. We opted for a 150 metre per minute, 558 mm print width, duplex, water based system to handle our monochrome production requirements. I am looking forward to a long and successful partnership with Domino.’

The K630i operates at speeds of up to 150 metres per minute with a 600 dpi native resolution and is available in three print widths (333 mm, 445 mm or 558 mm) with simplex and duplex options.
