ABC Print is expecting to save more than a million sheets of paper a year thanks to the faster makeready times of its new Heidelberg Anicolor press.
The Hereford-based company is also making a push for a hat-trick of environmental accreditations with the new machine, anticipating it will reduce paper, inks and coatings waste.
Managing director Mike Greene said he expects to have FSC and PEFC certifications, and ISO 14001 "finalised within three months" following the Anicolor installation.
The kit will join a Heidelberg pressroom that already includes a 10-colour SM 52 and two Suprasetter A52 platesetters running Saphira Chem-Free plates.
Greene said: "It's very fast to makeready, is easy to run and, critically, it reduces your start-up waste. We are seeing it makeready in 10 to 12 sheets only.
The company expects an increase in the work it carries out with the new purchase and plans to "aggressively push" the advantages the Anicolor would bring its clients
Greene added: "With the Anicolor, we anticipate 25% more productivity per shift compared with our conventional press".
The four-colour plus coater machine will replace a five-colour Speedmaster SM 52 when the 20-staff printer takes delivery in January.
