"We aim to aid communication between ourselves, suppliers and customers," said managing director Tom Hewitt. "Weve had a lot
of support from customers who want to know more."
Initially it will run a one-day course each week covering the basics of the printing process. After that it is planning more specialist courses, which will cover proofing and paper.
It has also replaced a five-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster 102 with a second six-colour Speedmaster 102, which has a coater and extended delivery.
The firm went for the six-colour after shifting all its five-back-five work to the 10-colour press at its Kettering site.
It has made three redundancies in the pre-press department at Kettering. Most plates for both sites are now produced on its Creo Lotem Quantum at the Leicester factory.
"With PDF work is simplified," said Hewitt. "The guys on the workstations who used to act as a repair shop arent needed."
