Sittingbourne-based Superfast Labels has installed the SurePress L-6534VW to drive higher production output.
The self-adhesive label producer first invested in the Epson SurePress L-4033A, which soon led to the addition of a SurePress L-4033AW. Now the company has purchased the first SurePress L-6034VW in the UK.
Director Scott Obermuller said, ‘At the time of the first investment, the SurePress L-4033A was the best press on the market within our price range. We knew it would suit our needs as a business. We also knew that bringing all the digital work we outsourced back in-house would please our clients, increase quality, and put us in control of lead times.
‘We visited LabelExpo and evaluated all press capabilities from products on the market at the time and press purchase costs. Epson was also briefed with the potential output volumes, average run lengths, required quality and resulted in the first initial SurePress purchase. It quickly proved to be worth its weight in gold. It helped us gain more business and transition flexo work over to digital. We liked its large colour range, quality, and its ability to increase our opportunities to create value-added applications without high costs to the client.
‘With our standard three day turn around, and even same day print, the presses have to be reliable to ensure customer satisfaction and committed lead times are adhered to. This also helps us maximise the investment return. We expect a high yield return and the investment to pay for itself as soon as possible.’
