Three presses are on order including the firm's first B1 long perfector, a 10-colour that will be installed at B1 wing Beacon Press. Two B2 machines, a 10-colour and a six-colour plus coater will be installed at East Sussex Press. All the presses will, like Beacon's three existing six-colour B1 machines, run alcohol free.
East Sussex Press is also combining the two sites' binderies in a single 1,200sqm location adjacent to Beacon's factory. The move to bring all finishing in house in one site will create six or seven jobs.

"Whatever happened to the good old fashioned cash job! At least the banks didn't take 2-3% of each sale. After 30 odd transactions that £100 quid you had has gone."
