Matrix Improves Production Time For GP Print
We spoke to Peter Martyr, Director at GP Print and he told us, “We were in the market for a new system, and we wanted to upgrade our current Matrix 530 system with a more automated feeder, increase quality and the additional foiling service. Knowing how well the current Matrix system worked and behaved we knew that upgrading was the most sensible idea.
“We decided to invest in a new Matrix MX-370MP and Omni-Flow 330 (SRA3) deep pile feeder from Vivid. The Matrix Metallic system has been designed specifically for applying digital foils and spot-UV type effects easily and economically to a wide range of paper stocks. Whilst the Matrix Omni-Flow deep pile feeder is a modular system designed to automate the laminating process and remove the need for a dedicated operator.
Mr Martyr added, “This new investment has now improved the quality of the laminate adhesion with a pressure roller to give a much better finish. The automation addition has meant that we can reduce the cost of the lamination process so that we are more competitive with the online giants. This means that we can now offer many more finishes to the portfolio with foiling and special effects such as spot UV adding more value to a traditional simple card now your products can really stand out. Special invites, certificates & business cards are just a few things that we can enhance with these many finishes.”
