Print Solutions

Printed Easy has installed the Scodix B1 Ultra 6000 Smart High Definition (SHD) system. The commercial printing company made the investment to achieve the highest of quality embellishment options at the lowest cost per sheet for decorating SRA3 to B1 sheet prints.

Based in Letchworth Garden City, Printed Easy offers printing services for a broad selection of general commercial products, including bound documents and brochures, roll labels and a host of other products. When Jon Lancaster took over as managing director in 2005, the business expanded into online printing whilst driving a raft of production efficiencies through its in-house software development. Since making the decision, the company has experienced a staggering 50 fold plus increase in sales.

According to Jon, the company started to pay attention to the Scodix Ultra 6000 when the team saw the format and quality. ‘The B1 format and new polymers allow low cost per sheet which competes with conventional UV on a flat finish, whilst SHD brings us breakthrough quality in terms of sharpness and detail,’ he said.

Printed Easy intends to use the device by adding both raised and flat UV and foil to every general commercial product, both bound and unbound, in its range, with many complex options currently being designed. The integration of the Ultra 6000 press into the company’s automated production is the logical step to continue its mantra of bringing off line print to the web to print market. The software automation and the automatic registration system that Scodix offers was a significant attraction for Printed Easy.
