The Dewsbury-based business has replaced an existing Heidelberg Speedmaster 52 with the new machine supplied by UK Ryobi distributor Apex Digital Graphics.
Naeem Vance, managing director of Excel Design & Print, said the Ryobi 524GX gives the company "significantly faster makeready than our previous press".
Vance added: "Speed of makeready is the critical factor in print production now with run lengths decreasing – it is all about how quickly you can move from job to job.
"The Ryobi, with its semi-automatic plate loading and ink volume setting software, ensures the fastest possible change from one job to the next."
Excel, established in 2001, employs eight staff and handles a range of commercial print.
Its new B3 press can print up to 15,000 sheets per hour on stocks of up to 0.6mm and features a PDS-E closed-loop inline densitometer to monitor print quality.
"That capability coupled with faster running speed is already providing us with 25% more printing capacity, which simply means that we can print more jobs in a day," added Vance.
