The new press will replace one of the south London company’s two four-year old Linoprint 901s.

TPS Print considered a Xerox iGen, but found the press too large for its facility in Greenwich. The business also runs a five-colour Heidelberg CD 102 and the other 901.

Managing director Phil Williams said one of the big draws of the new Linoprint was its ability to handle longer sheets and produce 6pp A4 products. The new £100,000 machine went in three weeks ago.

The 10-staff firm produces print for clients including financial businesses and exhibition companies, generating a turnover of £1.4m.

The Linoprint CP is capable of 110 A4 pages a minute or 3,300 SRA3 sheets an hour.

“We bought the kit because it had the six-page option, higher speed and reduced click charge,” said Williams, whose 15-year-old company also offers design and mailing services.

“It is expensive to produce low-run six-page A4 work on a litho press so this will give us something great to offer our brochure customers.

“Heidelberg is a very good supplier. Everything here is Heidelberg, including a Speedmaster CD 102. The current split between litho and digital is 70%-30% respectively.”
