Second PUR Plus for Northside Graphics

Print Solutions

Northern Ireland’s digital print business, Northside Graphics has added further Morgana finishing equipment in order to maintain its speed of delivery of digitally printed work.

This latest investment consists of a Morgana DigiBook 200 PUR perfect binding machine – the second such machine for the Roundtower Industrial Estate premises – and a Morgana AutoCreaser Pro 385 creasing machine, the first of the new high capacity units to be installed in Northern Ireland. The new equipment has been purchased through and installed by Reprocentre NI, the Morgana dealer for Northern Ireland.

Commenting on the purchase decision, Richard Campbell, operations director at Northside in Belfast, said: ‘The recent purchase of a second Morgana DigiBook binder and high capacity AutoCreaser has been made necessary by the huge growth in demand for PUR books from both clients in Northern Ireland and from our online business at the www.digitalprinting.co.uk website.

‘After working with the first DigiBook 200 for over a year, the purchase of a second machine was, for us, an easy decision and allowed us to keep up with the large growth in our customers’ demand for PUR bound books. We are able to produce any size and page content of book with quantities from 1 to 500 or more.

‘The second DigiBook 200 has been purchased to replace an older PUR binder that had simply not been able to keep up with the quality, speed, and efficient production of the Morgana machine.’

Northside already has a number AutoCreasers and was about to purchase an additional machine to work alongside the new binder when the local dealer introduced the new Pro 385.

‘The main benefit of the 385 is that we can crease covers for our PUR books in one pass rather than two thanks to its dual creasing capability, as well as produce other creased products faster than was previously possible. The new AutoCreaser Pro 385 sits with our two PUR binders so that we can quickly and easily crease all the covers for PUR bound books as we need them. The 385 is the first piece of equipment that we have bought without a live demo simply on the strength of our relationship with both Reprocentre and Morgana. We know and trust the products.’
