Me & My

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.

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.

We have installed the first Pit Stop Mini Speed creaser and perforator with an online MB 38 folder from Encore Machinery.

For years, I have been designing and making cards to send to family, friends and clients. Like most designers, I enjoy browsing through stock swatches and I delight in uncovering unusual paper.

Investing in good press ancillaries can enhance kit purchases by ensuring efficient operation. We need colour accuracy, job-to-job colour consistency and matching sheet and web colour quality.

We installed a 10-colour KBA Rapida 105 long perfector at the beginning of 2007.

We were introduced to Skrebba by its UK distributor Total PFS. The SK-732 stapler is German engineered and so we knew there would be no comprise on quality.

Cote is a lightweight coated paper, which is produced at UPM's Caledonian mill in Scotland.
