UK carton printer Kentmere Packaging has installed a Roland 706 LV offset press to increase capacity and boost the Kendal based company’s responsiveness and flexiblility. At £1.5 million, the 6-colour-plus-coater B1 press is the latest in a round of investments that also includes a Bobst gluer. It will run alongside the company’s existing Roland 706.
The new press incorporates Automatic Plate Loading (APL) and features manroland’s Colour Pilot, with integrated densitometer, and PrintNet Press Manager, which facilitates the direct sharing of colour information between prepress file preparation and the press. Kentmere has also opted for manroland’s ProServ service and maintenance package and Telepresence online fault diagnostic and correction.
Kentmere Packaging employs 55 staff and has a turnover approaching £6 million. It produces packaging for a wide range of markets including food, confectionery and toiletries and supplies most of the UKs major supermarket retailers.
