The most recent addition at the Exeter-based firm’s 200sqm premises is a Xerox Versant 2100 digital press, which was installed last month.
This follows the installation of a Duplo DC-645 slitter-cutter-creaser and an HP Designjet Z6800 wide-format printer earlier this year.
The 2100 has replaced a Konica Minolta Bizhub Pro C6501, which has been sold on.
The business also considered alternatives including the Ricoh Pro C901 and Konica Minolta Bizhub Press C1085 but opted for the Xerox device due to its 2,400dpi quality and consistent front-to-back registration.
Managing director Danny Frayne said: “It’s already had a big impact. Everything that comes out of the 2100 is spot on and the quality is near litho in my book.
“It is going to negate the necessity for putting four-colour work through our two-colour litho presses twice.”
The 2100 is a 100ppm sheetfed SRA3-format digital toner press that can print on stocks from 52gsm up to 350gsm and offers finishes such as pearlescent, metallic and textured.
QuickPrint’s machine is specified with the Fiery EXP 2100 Print Server with full Graphic Arts Package.
Production director Richard Frayne said: “The Fiery EXP 2100 Print Server can rip a 1GB full-colour document in about one minute, keeping makeready times to an absolute minimum.”
QuickPrint also operates two two-colour Ryobi litho presses, Konica Minolta digital machinery, a 60in (1.5m) Roland DG VersaCamm print-and-cut device and a Roland DG VersaUV LEF-20 flatbed printer.
The business, which also has a comprehensive finishing department, is next considering investing in HP PageWide wide-format technology.
Family-run QuickPrint, which was established in 1961, has 10 staff and a turnover of just over £500,000.
It produces work including business cards, brochures, flyers, booklets, posters, banners, signs and printed workwear for B2B customers as well as building companies, solicitors and accountants.
