The 30-staff company in Aberdeen will run the press alongside its existing iGen4 and produce brochures, health-and-safety material and handbooks for companies in the oil and gas sectors.

Managing director Andrew Hall said: "We wanted more speed, bigger sheet size and matt as opposed to conventional toner. We saw the quality last year at Drupa and will use the other iGen as back up. The  print quality is great."

He said the new machine had almost doubled capacity of digital print. The recent purchase, which went in two months ago, runs at 150 pages per minute against the iGen4’s 90 pages.

"It can offer significant improved quality for existing clients, enabling us to offer a more realistic alternative to offset litho because it’s hard to differentiate between this and litho jobs; the quality is that good."

Hall added: "The new large sheet size of 364x660mm means we can diversify our product portfolio and produce a greater range of high-value print. We recently won a best-of-the-best award from Xerox on the strength of print quality."
