Graphic Arts Equipment has continued its strong start to the year with healthy sales over the summer, including the first Perfecta guillotines since it took over the agency in July.

B&B Press in Rotherham installed a pair of Perfecta 115 TVC guillotines as part of an upgrade to its bindery that also included a range of Horizon machines such as a collator, bookletmaker, perfect binder and folder.

GAE has also notched up two more sales of the Horizon StitchLiner. Potts Printers in Tyneside has brought the finishing of higher quality work in-house following the installation and completed more than 500,000 books in the first six weeks of operation.

Browns CTP in Oldham also bought its StitchLiner to cut down on outwork and expects the kit to pay for itself within a year.

Skipton-based Ellesmere Press has installed a four-colour Shinohara 521VP press and a Horizon collating tower and folder.
