The commercial printer, which made its foray into litho 18 months ago with a four-colour Heidelberg Quickmaster, will use the purpose-built replacement premises to house the new SM 52 along with its fleet of digital kit.
Color Co managing director Ashley Wainwright told printweek.com that the existing press had hit capacity, "so it was time to expand".
He said that the 12-staff firm "originally tapped into its existing client base" to secure litho work, but now the printer has a "growing demand", experiencing equal sales across both digital and litho.
Wainwright added that the printer could now "process colours and seal in one pass" on the new press - something that would allow the company to take on longer-run jobs.
The firm, which produces corporate literature, business stationery and leaflets, also runs a four-colour Xerox DocuColor and a monochrome DocuTech.
