Bradford printer invests £500,000 in new facilities 

Bradford-based  Dominion Print has invested £500,000 in additional printing and production technology.  

The firm has commissioned a new super-wide reel-to-reel printer along with a fully automatic rolling machine and its second extra large cutting system.  The new Vutek Q5r printer will double Dominion’s output speeds to 672m2 per hour.

Director Verity Fox said, “Back in 1997 my father, Dominic Clark, invested in the Vutek UltraVu 5300 which, at the time, was state-of-the-art wide-format digital technology. Twenty six years later, we’ve come full circle. 

“Dad taught me from being knee high that in print you need to invest to stay ahead of the competition.  We shared many double espressos discussing the various machine options and viewing samples prior to deciding on the Vutek Q5r and signing on the dotted line.”

She said the machine would allow Dominion to provide “high-end printing at lightning speeds”.

Dominion is one of a select number of printers with the ability to provide truly super-large solutions and super-wide digital applications.  The latest investment follows a recent £1m investment in a Durst Rho 2500 modular UV flatbed printer along with an additional in-line welding and eyeleting machine and further in-line, fully automatic sewing machines. The company is preparing to target further growth in its core markets, including entertainment, retail, events and construction.
