“We are now working on issue 18 and our continued growth to success is underpinned by your impeccable product quality, world class customer service and pragmatic business support that defines the difference between a genuine business partner and a ten a penny jobbing printer. We genuinely appreciate all that you do for us.”
Stephen & George’s continual re-investment programme is clearly demonstrated within our state-of-the-art Press Hall.
Currently boasting five Heidelberg XL106 presses, (one x 10 colour, three x 8 colour and one x 5 colour).
All of our five presses are equipped with the latest push to stop technology which allows us to achieve maximum productivity and efficiency at all times, four presses are also equipped with the latest CutStar reel-to-sheet technology with our most recent 10 col installation having the fourth generation cut star (the first of its kind in the UK).
Earlier this year, Stephens & George took delivery of the latest XL106-8P 21,000 sheets per hour from HEIDELBERG. This first-of-its-kind technology in the UK, delivers consistently high quality with steady production speeds of 21,000 sheets per hour.
Investment in the latest technology improves operational efficiencies while demonstrating our company’s commitment to delivering excellence. It enables faster turnaround times, helping Stephens & George stay ahead of the curve in a highly competitive marketplace.
All presses are fitted with Prinect Inpress control colour measurement systems enabling us to provide our clients with the highest quality of print.
Prinect Pressroom Manager centrally controls every operation in the pressroom and manages the relevant job information and production data. Colour pre-setting data are automatically calculated by Prinect Pressroom Manager, which, at the right point in time, delivers them together with the job data to the integrated presses and colour measurement systems. This automation delivers a significant increase in productivity and more transparency in the pressroom. Make-ready times and waste are considerably reduced and can be viewed remotely and on site.
We have recently been re-accredited with our membership of the Heidelberg Elite Colour Club demonstrating our continued commitment to the print quality control that is required to obtain ISO 12647-2 certification. This annual visit and on-going quality checks, combined with improved knowledge and optimised processes, provides continued assurance of the highest print quality.
With our continued re-investment in technology and highly skilled and motivated staff, we produce in excess of 200 million printed sheets every year.
