Action Graphics has upgraded its finishing department with a Mohr 66 Plus guillotine supplied by Morgana, part of the Plockmatic Group, in a move aimed at increasing cutting capacity, precision and speed.

The West London commercial printer said the new system will allow it to handle larger sheet sizes while improving productivity in finishing.

Owner Payam Azadi, who has more than 36 years’ experience in print and has run Action Graphics since 2010, described the investment as an important step for the business.

“We handle around 95% of all our finishing in-house, so reliable and accurate equipment is vital,” he said. “The new Mohr 66 Plus is faster, more precise, and has an airbed that makes handling much easier. We can now cut sheets up to 660mm – previously we were limited to 610mm – which means we can take on larger-format jobs that we used to turn down. This happened in the first week the machine was up and running – our customer was delighted that we could take on the work.”

Action Graphics operates as a full-service print provider, offering in-house design, digital and large-format printing, and finishing services including booklet making, laminating and foiling. The company said its small team produces most jobs within a single business day.

Mr Azadi also praised Morgana’s support during the installation. “Morgana has been a great partner. The team were very professional during installation and support – there were a few small adjustments needed at the start, but their engineers responded immediately. The new Mohr is running smoothly, and it’s clearly built to perform.”

Ed Hudson, UK general manager at Plockmatic Group, said the installation would help the printer keep more work in-house while widening the range of jobs it can take on.

“Action Graphics is a great example of a modern print business that understands the value of precision finishing,” he said. “The Mohr 66 Plus gives Payam and his team the robustness, speed and automation they need to keep work in-house while expanding production capability. It’s rewarding to see the benefits of our technology being realised so quickly.”

According to Plockmatic Group, the Mohr 66 Plus is designed to bring commercial-grade automation to compact print environments, with features including an 18.5-inch touchscreen and Compucut automation for transferring cutting data directly from prepress files.
