The firm, which specialises in printing catalogues and brochures, installed the press in December due to demand from customers for shorter lead times.
Managing director Adrian Williams said: “It was time to move forward, and we installed the press due to pressures from the working environment.”
According to the Tewkesbury company, it is the first 10-colour CD 74 to be installed in Gloucestershire.
Williams said the long perfector route was the only way the firm could achieve the quality and productivity balance it needed.
“There are very few machines on the market that can offer this quality front to back.”
Williams said that the company is on track to increase its £1.8m turnover by 20% this year, and with the new press, it is hoping to surpass that figure.
