The Leeds-based envelope printer invested in the machine after experiencing steady levels of growth in its four-colour overprint work.
The press allows the 45-staff company to print four-colour on one side and single-colour on the other side of the envelope, as well as printing on matt-coated stock.
SCR managing director Steve Allott said: "It's an area of our business that's growing and we'll continue to push it further.
"People get so much mail; by printing four-colour and with the option to print on matt stock, it helps the envelope really jump out."
The Halm EM5000 can handle a maximum sheet size of 230x400mm and can print up to 30,000 envelopes an hour in perfecting mode.
