Integrated lithographic and digital print service provider, TCW Solutions, has developed a fully functional production environment using technology from Fujifilm
Following the thorough review of its operations, in the last couple of years TCW Solutions has invested in a series of Xerox high performance colour digital presses supplied by Fujifilm.
The initial introduction of a Xerox 1000 and a Xerox 700 machine was followed last year by the purchase of a Xerox Color 800 to manage an increasing volume of work. The company has also invested in its finishing department with the integration of a Duplo System 5000 high-end digital bookletmaker. This hardware was supplemented with XMPie Personal Effect Print Pro server edition, an advanced variable data printing solution that offers additional processing speed enhancements when invoking VDP production.
Tom Lipman, managing director, explained ‘We specialise in variable data printing and the capabilities offered by XMPie VDP software, in conjunction with the Xerox and Duplo technologies, have allowed us to produce high quality and personalised marketing collateral for our customers.’ He added ‘Our Xerox colour presses all have similar configurations giving us the flexibility to shift jobs from one to the other according to our needs, without compromising on production speed and quality output.’
Mr Lipman is particularly pleased with the performance guaranteed by Duplo’s System 5000 digital bookletmaker. He commented, ‘Handling variable content requires a highly automated and intelligent machine at the finishing stage, and the System 5000 perfectly satisfies our needs. This advanced tool includes bar code reader recognition, which automatically triggers the bookletmaking sequence. We produce financial booklets and it’s important to ensure the integrity of the documents. The bar code reader functionality ensures that each sheet is collated in the right order so that we can deliver perfectly finished and customised products featuring content, images and dynamic graphs.’
