The four-colour press will be used to produce medium-run brochures and gives the company scope to increase its £1.1m turnover this year.
It will run alongside the Fordingbridge, Hampshire company’s three two-colour litho presses and three Xerox digital machines.
Managing director Tony Beck said: “The litho side of our business was not moving forward fast enough.
“Although we were printing some four-colour work, we were still making plates conventionally. It was slow and the quality was not comparable with the 52DI.”
The firm has also bought a Horizon folder from GAE to boost its finishing capacity.
