Godiva Imaging has become the first independent UK service bureau to purchase a Kodak i1860 production scanner, which has helped cut job times in half.The investment, which follows an i840 scanner bought in July 2006, takes the Coventry-based firm's 2006-2007 Kodak spend to £100,000.
The new scanner has allowed the firm to reduce machine time from two shifts to one 7.5-hour day shift.
Godiva processes 19.5m documents per year, and is hoping the 200ppm i1860 will help its plans to grow output to 36m next year.
Managing director Neil Hedges said: "While our expectation is that 36m documents will be processed next year, we won't have to employ more staff just redeploy the people we already have.
"We're now handling approximately 19.5m images per annum, which is about 1.6m per month... on an average working month of 22 days."
Godiva Imaging carries out work for 620 customers in the automotive, industrial, retail, aerospace and local government sectors, and includes PSA Peugeot Citroën and Specsavers on its client list.
