Printwise buys Duplo 5000 bookletmaker

Printwise has installed a Duplo System 5000 bookletmaker, part of a 2m investment that included a move to larger premises and new B2 and B3 presses.

Our new System 5000 was installed as part of a major expansion programme. Even during the hectic move, the system functioned at maximum capacity, thanks to its automation and user-friendliness, said owner Andy Metcalf.

The commercial printer moved its production facilities to a 900msq facility in Lymington in late February, and completed the move by relocating its office functions there, earlier last week.

As well as the 5,000bph bookletmaker, the firms kit spend this year has included a five-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 74, a two colour SM 52, a Stitchmaster 100 stitching line and Polar guillotine.
