"This investment safeguards the work we have," director Geoff Truesdale said.

"We are the first company in Northern Ireland with an XL 75 and closed-loop colour and this will be a good measure to ensure our customers don't need to ever question our colour standards."

Print Library has already moved into new 1,068sqm premises – almost double the floor space of its previous site – in anticipation of a projected 30% boost in business.

"It will increase our £2m turnover because of its ability to handle a wider range of stocks and to coat," Truesdale said. "This means increased sales opportunities with both existing and new clients."

According to Truesdale, the XL75's sheet transfer with air presetting and its impressive 18,000sph rolling power means that the company "can produce fantastic solids with minimal risk of marking".

Print Library was founded seven years ago and currently employs 22 staff. Most of the printer's work comes from design, graphic and advertising agencies.

Although the majority of this work is carried out for Northern Irish clients, almost a third of its income comes from mainland UK.
