You don’t get to become the quickest online printer in the UK by standing still. And you deserve a partner who is absolutely relentless in pushing the boundaries of possibility. Are we getting you excited yet?

You should be - as we’re over the moon to announce our £2million instalment of the UK’s first Muller Martini-Prinova Digital Saddle Stitcher – a move we believe will change the landscape (and your expectations) of booklet printing forever..

 

So, What Makes It So Special?

The Prinova Digital is a revolutionary advancement in saddle stitching. Over the past few years, businesses like yours are investing more and more in Stitched books - so we knew we had to step up. This investment will truly set the pace of innovation to deliver the quality, price and speed you need.

The Prinova Digital runs at a whopping 9000 cycles per hour, allowing us to deliver your booklets to you at lightning speed. There’s cost and quality improvements too, meaning we’ve slashed millions of our stitched booklet pricing so you can re-invest the savings back into growing your business. 

 

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty….

 

You’ll Get Your Booklets at Insane Speed

  • The speed of the Prinova Digital increases the cycles per machine we can produce per hour from 2000 to 9000. So… we can reduce our turnaround times on a wider variety of books - meaning your order arrives quicker than ever before!
     
  • There’s a wide arsenal of printers at our HQ from digital to nanographic & litho that all excel at different quantities and papers. The beauty of the Prinova Digital is that it can be fed from any of these printers with super quick make ready times.  We can feed the highly-automated stitcher with reels and move from size to size automatically – plus switch from reels to sections. This level of flexibility only accelerates the production time and gets your books in your hands even faster.
     
  • It's insanely easy to run despite being the most cutting-edge technology we’ve seen for booklets. Without getting TOO technical, there’s a super large touchscreen that can edit any setting, plus adjust the three-knife trimmer which cuts your books to size - where the quick-release level makes changing the thickness settings a breeze.

 

Your Booklets Will Look Even More Incredible

  • As we mentioned above, this piece of kit can create a beautiful book straight from any printer in our factory. This means there’s no compromises on the choice of press; your booklet can be printed on the perfect machine that suits your spec and be created into a stunning book. Simple.

  • Brace yourself for more technicalities – but they are pretty impressive. Muller have developed The Asir Pro Camera System which significantly improves stitching accuracy and consistency. Employing advanced 1D/2D barcode scanning technology, it meticulously identifies and compares the printed sections that make up your book - ensuring perfect alignment and flawless finishing. This system accelerates the process while maintaining exceptional precision.

 

Last but Not Least – Your Booklets Will Be Even Better Value

  • Everyone loves a win-win. And the icing on the cake is this revolutionary technology means we can reduce the cost of creating your books whilst still improving quality. So, we’ve reduced thousands of our stitched book range prices meaning you can re-invest the savings straight back into growing your business.

  • Time is money - the rapid acceleration in production time means we can produce far more books per hour - ultimately reducing the cost of each book. Even better – the Prinova Digital has 14 individual feeders bolstered with servo drives that speed up “make ready times”. We print books on a wide variety of materials – so job to job changeover time is a serious saving. The ability to move from size to size automatically plus switching from reels to sections compounds the time (and cost) saving.
     

 

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop Investing in Your Business

In order for your business to grow, you need a print partner who can continue to innovate – and we’re obsessed with giving our business partners an edge.

That’s why the recent installation of our Muller Martini Prinova is just the first of our exciting investments in the coming months. The second Prinova is on its way, plus we have invested the radical S11P Landa digital press which will give us staggering speed across not just books but our core range.
