The Cannock-based digital printer’s managing director Dean Gosling said: "We have been experiencing a lot of demand for laminating, which is why we’ve invested £20,000 on the new machine."

The fully automatic, high-pressured laminator has an operating width of 380mm and can work up to a speed of 15m per minute.

It is equipped with a hydropneumatic roller pressure system, which aims to enable faster and improved production. A small compressor is also integrated inside the machine frame.

The £1m-turnover company, which has eight staff and specialises in cut-sheet and wide-format printing, has a range of equipment including Xerox and Epson printers for large-format digital work and Xerox 700 digital presses.
