Case Study: Entwistle Group

Entwistle Group production workflow

Beyond the press: automation across the whole workflow

An established UK printer keeps its specialist edge while cutting production costs.

Increase automationBy producing more finished work inline on press
Retain high end outputAnd specialist white & metallic output at a lower cost base
Less DependenceOn highly skilled operators to achieve a required image quality.

The challenge

Entwistle Group, spanning small-format digital and wide-format production, wanted to retain its high-end output capability including white and metallic applications while cutting production costs and reducing reliance on specialist operators.

The solution

Working with Jet Tech, they installed a Fujifilm Revoria PC1120 paired with an inline Plockmatic bookletmaker. The conversation went far beyond the press: automation, workflow, finishing and how jobs enter the business and processed to finished product with minimal operator intervention.

The results

  • Less manual handling, faster turnaround
  • More completed jobs per shift.
  • Retained specialist white and metallic output capability while improving cost efficiency
  • New incremental embellishment applications being developed for market
“It never felt like a sales process” — Mark Bell, Sales Director
