Insitu Group has become the UK and Ireland’s first user of Durst’s P5 350 all-in-one hybrid solution for flexible roll and board printing.
Unattended overnight production, five-layer printing options and multi-roll track systems mean more than one customer job can run at the same time at different speeds.
“The P5 is amazing and provides the highest single output of any machine by far. It has trebled capacity," said Damian Loach, Insitu Group’s managing director. "Previously we were losing out on jobs because operational times are now so demanding. You have to be extremely reactive. Often it’s a next-day delivery requirement.
“That’s one of the reasons why unattended printing is so useful. We can produce 600 square meters overnight. Another really important feature is the multi-track roll function where orders from more than one customer jobs can be printed at the same time in varying volumes," he continued. "The P5 has added to our original printers, giving us a further 178 metres an hour, upping our capacity to 500 metres per hour. This gives us control and capacity with tight timeframes without having to outsource or rely on others.”
The four-color with white option P5 is the cornerstone of Leicester-based Insitu Group’s print division, Intoprint Digital, which also boasts extensive cutting and finishing capabilities.
The £10 million turnover Insitu Group started as a shop-fitting business 24 years ago and has expanded into many other markets other than print.
