B Print and Display has installed a second HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press to increase capacity following rising demand and 40% growth since installing the first just eight months ago.
The Cramlington-based company is a retail brands-focused business who’s MD Will Skelchy said of the move: “We experienced such an increase in demand from our retail customers that we had to install the second press HP Scitex FB7600 to keep up. The first press had been running round the clock, so the purchase of the second was imperative to meeting our customers’ needs. In fact, the rise in workload and productivity has led to a 40% increase in turnover in the first eight months we had the press, which has been an appreciated return on investment.
“The HP Scitex FB7600s have allowed us to offer cost-effective short runs, which our customers have been requesting more and more, and to take on more varied jobs,” said Skelchy.
The machine can handle stock up to 165 x 320cm and up to 25mm thick, features that have enabled B Print and Display to open up to new markets. “The HP Scitex FB7600 provides our customers with more possibilities as we have the ability to offer a wide range of applications on more varied substrates, including carpets, rubber flooring and glass. The capability to print straight onto corrugated board has been a great benefit to us – this is perfect for display signs and POP. The new press has really allowed us to reach out to new markets and our customers old and new have been very impressed with the results, especially with rubber flooring,” said Dan Skelchy, business development manager, B Print and Display.
“We can react faster to our customers’ requests as we are able to begin printing immediately, rather than wait for plates to be made, for example. This is a huge advantage to us as there is less down time, so we are more productive. The checking time has also been reduced due to the consistent colour quality. In addition, we have been impressed with the exceptional levels of service we've received from HP. We couldn’t be more pleased with how the HP Scitex FB7600s have helped our business to grow,” concluded Will Skelchy.
