Results at the Herefordshire-based B3 printer have been so positive that Heidelberg will be using it as a beta test site to continue development of its products.
In addition to its paper savings, the printer, which uses vegetable-based inks and FSC/recycled paper, has cut down its CO2 emissions and achieved water and energy savings.
Managing director Mike Greene said: "We save more than 32 tonnes of paper each year and reduce the impact on the environment by around 40 tonnes of CO2 a year. The savings in labour costs and electricity are pleasing to say the least."
The all-Heidelberg house added an Anicolor to its arsenal, which includes a 10-colour SM 52 and two Suprasetter A52 platesetters running Saphira Chem-Free plates, in late 2007.
ABC Print to be Heidelberg's beta site after makeready achievements
ABC Print has saved 1.5m sheets of paper per year in makeready waste since investing in a new Anicolor from Heidelberg, it has claimed.
