Printers Superstore’s Leeds headquarters is to become the northern showroom for MGI digital presses. The first demonstration machine, a Meteor DP8700 XL+ is now installed and running alongside a Hans Gronhi GH525 offset press.
The two companies have been working together since Printers Superstore became an authorized reseller of MGI machines in 2013. “This move further cements the relationship between Printers Superstore and MGI,” says MGI Technologies MD David Evans. “They’re great people to work with, and they are ideally located to give us a base in the north. There’s a good synergy between us, and the equipment fits.”
Printers Superstore Joint MD Graham Moorby agrees. “We see our high quality, sensibly priced offset machines from Hans Gronhi and Shinohara as the future of offset printing, and the versatile MGI product as the future of digital, with the two technologies working together. The MGI machines offer high quality, high throughput and are extremely versatile, printing on a wide range of materials including envelopes, plastics and – importantly for our market – litho stocks, with no click charges.”
The Meteor DP8700XL+ digital press delivers outstanding quality at 4,260 four-colour A4 pages-per-hour - and is also able to print long format at 330mm x 1200mm at resolutions up to 3,600dpi. It is compatible with the leading variable data management solutions, and is available with the DF Pro inline finishing solution which cuts, creases and perforates inline.
Printers Superstore is located in Leeds, alongside the M621 in the shadow of Leeds United’s Elland Road stadium. Those interested in visiting the showroom to see the MGI Meteor and Hans Gronhi GH525 should call Printers Superstore on 0113 208 8500 or MGI Technology on 01442 446 446.
