Birmingham Printer, Clarkeprint, Continues to Invest During Difficult Times

Whilst 2020 has been a year of uncertainty, with lockdowns, travel restrictions, and a no deal BREXIT looming on the horizon, Birmingham based printer, Clarkeprint, have taken this opportunity to invest in new technologies and office refurbishments, ensuring future improvements to productivity, quality and versatility, in a continually competitive market.

In the last nine months Clarkeprint have invested in a variety of new printing equipment, most notably becoming the first company in Europe to install two Xerox Iridesse 8-colour digital presses.

Higher quality print, quicker turnaround times, increased productivity and more flexibility. These are just some of the benefits of the Iridesse presses. However, the real magic is in the addition of gold, silver, opaque white and clear inks enabling endless design possibilities for creative agencies and in-house marketing departments.

Nigel Clarke, Director, explains “We are looking forward to showcasing the broader spectrum of services we can offer with the speciality inks, and make unique and interesting designs on beautiful paper”.

Although the Iridesse printers are the jewel in the crown, investment has not stopped there. A new Kodak platesetter improves efficiency within their litho production department, and a Veloblade digital die-cutting machine offers a faster turnaround and greater flexibility in short run packaging production and die-cut print, opening up ever more opportunities for designers and marketeers.

In addition to investing in printing technology, Clarkeprint have also spent time refurbishing both factory and office spaces, integrating a better workflow between departments, and creating more space for the growing large format printing facility. This is topped off with improved amenities for employees, designed to support collaboration and idea sharing to get the most out of the extensive production facilities.

In a year of uncertainty one thing that we can be sure of is that Clarkeprint have heavily invested in ensuring that high quality, efficiency and first-rate service remain at the heart of the business. To find out more about Clarkeprint, visit www.clarkeprint.co.uk.
