The Cheshire-based company, which specialises in producing work for training, design and advertising companies, expects to have its machine installed by mid-June.
The 18,000sph machine, which gets its official launch at Drupa 2008, is part of a £1.25m investment in new equipment.
Chapel Press took the 10-colour perfecting press option, allowing it to print both sides of the sheet at the same time.
Chapel sales director Paul Halfpenny said: "The technology in this machine will revolutionise print media as we know it.
"The quality, versatility and speed will allow us to print a job in almost half the time and at a consistently higher quality."
