Mayfield Press upgrades in-house lamination with Foliant Taurus

Print Solutions Finishing Solutions

Mayfield Press has invested in a Foliant Taurus 530 NG laminator from IFS to assist with its fast turnaround short run work.

The Oxford based 24 hour full service printer was established in 1992. It produces a wide range of products from books and magazines to posters and promotional items with litho, digital and large format technologies.

Director Damian Roscoe explained, ‘We had a laminator, but we needed something faster. We do a lot of short to medium run fast turnaround menu work and we were having to send some of that out. We wanted to be able to keep all of it in-house so we could be more responsive, save costs and eliminate the waiting times.’

As for choosing the compact 40 metre per minute B2+ Foliant Taurus 530 NG, that incorporates feeder, laminator, and a sheet separator in a single construction, he said: ‘We wanted an upgrade on what we had. I spoke with someone who works with one and they told me what a good machine it was – that helped me make the decision.’

He added, It has been running very well and we are much more efficient.’
