Reorganisation at Caxton Road
We have some key developments to tell you about.
Pre press, CTP and digital are currently being moved into a new purpose built area within the factory and key workflow and output devices are now situated in one department. This reorganisation programme also provides the potential for further growth and expansion in the future.
Our Case making and blocking lines have also been sited closer to the bindery to improve productivity and workflow.
New people
We are delighted to announce that a number of new personnel have joined the business:
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing regional sales presence, David Olver (mob. 07833 059656) and Steve Nayler (mob. 07833 059657) have joined the Sales Team. David is based in the Midlands and Steve in the North of England.

Digital is back!
We are pleased to announce that we have signed a new workflow and CTP deal with Kodak. The Prinergy 5 workflow will be installed in May and the Magnus CTP in July. The Nexpress is already up and running with impressive results.
Just a few of the customer benefits:
Kodak's colour and trapping technology has been upgraded. A web-based browser will allow production sales and customer service personnel to have live access to job information and status.
All prepress personnel can create and view notes added to a job during handling and will also be able to add additional information to jobs, pages or signatures, such as text, dates/times and yes/no fields.
The new equipment will also be able to cut and collate the pages from fully imposed flat sheets and send them to a printer in reader order.
Insite - a web based job submission and approval system, allowing automation, tracking and book proofing on screen is also to be installed.
The Magnus VLF is a market leader in plate production. High levels of automation and laser technology will bring us true benefits in plate production and quality.
The Magnus VLF delivers punched plates, ensuring the image position fits perfectly every time, making a marked improvement to make ready times on press.
All aspects including the latest thermal plates are manufactured, supplied and supported by Kodak personnel from their UK base. The updated Prinergy workflow, will provide the flexibility to print litho or digital using the same file. This provides consistency in product ranging from 1 to 100,000 copies.
A back up server, two processors, and two plate setters are included in the new system to ensure we will not suffer loss of production due to failure of one part of the process.
New sheet fed blocker
We have installed B1 foil blocking and embossing technology that will complete the production of covers and jackets in one area of the factory, providing greater speed, flexibility, control and no wasted transport.
