Stramongate
Kendal-based printer, Stramongate, is targeting short-run digital work after the
purchase of a Canon Image Press C6000VP.
Peter Hartley, managing director of Stramongate, said: “We have seen a
huge increase in requests for digital work over the past few years. Now we
can carry out work for both existing and new customers that may have gone
elsewhere.
“We looked at several devices on the market, but as our fi rst step into
digital print this was by far the best choice for us.”
The ImagePress will handle jobs including greetings cards, brochures,
posters and books in runs of up to 1,000. It joins fi ve Heidelberg presses.
Trevor Dodsworth, head of professional print at Canon UK, said: “Our
Canon ImagePress digital print technology offers them the fl exibility to bring
current digital work in-house, as well as taking on more short-run or specialist
jobs, such as full personalisation and variable data printing, something that
previously Stramongate has been unable to do.”
