Me & My

Luke Hastings, managing director at Reflections, was impressed by this foiling machine's ability to maintain high quality even at very high speeds, says Philip Chadwick

CP Bourg BST-D/D+

Manroland 505LV

Harry Skidmore, managing director at Easibind International, has won new work thanks to the speed and flexibility of this UV press, finds Philip Chadwick

I swear by my Markzware FlightCheck Pro

We introduced the software into our workflow to help identify problems in native PDF files.

I swear by my KAS Mailmaster Compact

A client asked us to look at the feasibility of taking on a printing and mailing job with a tight 24-hour schedule in terms of speed, security and cost effectiveness.

I swear by my Vega-Fast inks

We started using Hostmann Steinberg's Vega-Fast inks about six months ago.

I swear by my: Presstek Vector platesetter

We realised it was time to drag the company into the 21st century and invest in a CTP system. Previously, we made our plates manually, which was time consuming.

I swear by my: Ryobi 755 WD

We tend to invest in technology rather than large numbers of people. Ryobi wasn't on my initial list of likely press manufacturers, but the B2-plus 755 caught my eye.
