The Buckingham-based group has opted for the two new B2 machines in a bid to help make the business a more competitive, flexible and profitable operation.
Its equipment spend comes on-the-back of producing three books for the Nordoff Robbins charity, which made at least £60,000 at auction.
The first of its new presses, a five-colour Speedmaster XL 75-5+L with coater will be delivered in autumn, followed closely by a four-colour perfector with coater Speedmaster XL 75-4-P+L machine.
Tyrone Spence, joint managing director of BCQ with Richard Knowles, said the press investment was not about building sales but about enabling BCQ to be "competitive, profitable and flexible in terms of the range of work we handle and the turnround times we offer".
Its five-colour press will enable the group to offer Pantone colours, metallic and value added drip off varnish effects while the four-colour perfector will handle perfected spot work and process colour work.
According to Spence, the addition of Inpress Control across its new presses will help maintain quality across the print run.
He added: "Our customers can rest assured that the work we produce is within the tightest colour parameters at all times.
"Our client base includes the automotive sector, a business that is notoriously strict about colour match."
BCQ currently attributes 40% of its £9m print revenues to commercial clients, 40% to print management companies and the remaining 20% to the agency market.
Its new investments will complement a portfolio of digital print equipment as well as output from BCQ's other companies including multimedia agency BDA and wide-format operation Jolly Big.
Spence said: "We have Konica and Indigo digital technology in-house but litho has a strong future and has become competitive at relatively low runs these days.
"These XL 75 presses could handle runs from 200 to 200,000 plus. For us it’s about colour, speed and the ability to say yes to the most demanding jobs."
In July last year the group pressed ahead with its expansion plans with a 1,200sqm warehousing facility.
The new high-security warehouse has boosted the group's fulfilment offering with the addition of increased capacity for storage, pick-and-pack and dedicated client pallet areas.
