Alpha Colour Printers, one of Gloucestershire’s leading printers, stays ahead of the competition with their continuous investment in state of the art technology. Their recent investment in the Versafire LV and Prinect systems reflects their commitment to the quality and efficiency of their service delivery.
“We have always had a fantastic working relationship with HEIDELBERG, and that partnership has been instrumental in the success of Alpha Colour Printers. Most of our other printing machinery is also HEIDELBERG, and over the years, we’ve come to trust their commitment to innovation, reliability, and the exceptional quality they deliver.
“This investment strengthens our ongoing relationship with HEIDELBERG, who have consistently supported our business as we grow and expand our capabilities,” says Managing Director, Amy Muldrew.
Prinect, the powerful workflow front end system, keeps the entire workflow running efficiently, while the Versafire LV has delivered a notable increase in both productivity and efficiency.
The Versafire LV can produce up to 3,180 A3 sheets per hour and supports a wide array of substrates, including materials up to 470gsm. It complements Alpha’s existing litho presses, allowing the company to provide a more dynamic, hybrid print service, processing high volume orders with quick turnaround times. The system’s integration with Prinect enables them to optimise workflows, reduce setup times, and streamline job management.
“Our team is thrilled with the new Versafire LV,” says Muldrew, “especially the ability to print with neon inks digitally, something we’ve never been able to offer before. Prinect has also made a huge impact on how we work, providing a streamlined and efficient workflow for our team and allowing us to manage jobs easily and track production progress in real time.
“Prinect integration has resulted in less manual input and fewer errors, enabling our staff to focus on high quality print production for our customers. Overall, the team is excited about the opportunities provided by the new equipment.”
HEIDELBERG UK and Alpha Colour Printers are excited to deepen their historically strong relationship with this investment, continuing to push boundaries through this and future investments.
Established in 1979, Alpha Colour Printers owns a 24,000 square feet factory and serves a broad client base that includes advertising agencies, local authorities and educational institutions.
