Micropress adds Heidelberg folding power

Print Solutions

Micropress will secure a 30 to 40% increase in productivity when its Stahlfolder Ti52 is replaced by the more automated Stahlfolder BH 56 in August.

‘The Ti52 has had a testing life and put in a lot of hours at our factory which operates 24 hours a day,’ said production director Paul Coby. ‘We have a mixed portfolio of folders but came down in favour of the BH 56 from Heidelberg because it is very user friendly. The accessibility, interface and quick changeovers make it easy to operate and that is important given the shortage of skilled finishing operators in the UK.’

The business is a regular investor (last year’s £4 million spend included an additional Speedmaster XL 106-8-P) and the company has enjoyed 10% year on year growth. It handles a broad range of commercial print for agencies, print management companies and a wide range of businesses.
