Dover-based print company Cactus Graphics has installed a Fujifilm Revoria PC1120S six-colour digital press. The installation was completed in March 2025, and forms part of a strategic move to modernise its production capabilities and explore new market opportunities.

The new press replaces an older four-colour model that had reached the end of its contract. After reviewing a range of machines, the company chose Fujifilm’s flagship press based on its combination of speed, colour capabilities, compact footprint, and energy efficiency.

Founded in 2021, Cactus Graphics was established as a successor to Buckland Media Group, a family-run business with roots going back nearly 150 years. Managing director Katie Weaver and commercial director Richard Archer co-founded the company with a focus on combining heritage with a modern approach to print.

Ms Weaver said the investment aligns with the company’s forward-looking ethos. “We had a choice to replace the previous press with a similar model or use this opportunity to do something different,” she said. “The Revoria offered us more – from colour range and sheet size to overall performance.”

The Revoria PC1120S includes six colour stations, allowing Cactus Graphics to print with white, metallics, pink, and other specialty colours. Cactus Graphics said this opens up new creative possibilities, particularly in the B2C space, while continuing to support the company’s core B2B work. The press also supports long-sheet printing as standard, which was a significant factor in the decision.

Mr Archer noted the practical advantages: “The colour matching is particularly strong, which helps us maintain brand accuracy for our clients. And it’s useful for our own marketing as well, since our brand uses specific tones like orange and pink.”

The installation marks a step forward for Cactus Graphics as it aims to grow its service offering and expand into new areas of the print market, the company said.
