Print Solutions

The Encore Group will be doubling its operational print capacity with the purchase of a new Heidelberg XL 106, six colour plus coater. Encore is currently operating a CX 102 printing press, and the new machine will come into operation from March 2023.

The Encore Group has been making significant investments into business growth, and this is the most current landmark in that journey. ‘We are always looking to invest in the latest technology,’ said Craig Allen, sales director. ‘The increased capacity will allow us to continue to be adaptable and efficient with our clients’ requirements.’

‘Heidelberg’s new press provides us with quicker running speeds, faster makereadies and nonstop production,’ Craig continued. ‘This will significantly increase our production capability. With the six colour option, running alongside our existing Heidelberg press, we gain improved lead time and flexibility, and we have essentially doubled our litho print capacity.’

‘Something we take pride in is our strong customer relationships. One such example is our decades long relationship with Encore Group, and we have been collaborating with the company to ensure we both deliver consistently high levels of satisfaction,’ said Ryan Miles, managing director, Heidelberg UK.
