It has expanded the available space from 4,000m sq to 7,500m sq, included a dedicated 2,500m sq digital print area housed on a mezzanine floor.
It has also taken on eight staff in its digital department, comprising two in sales, three in production and three in finishing.
Joint managing director James Martin said the firms focus on the retail sector, where its customers include Allders, Specsavers, Vodafone and Procter & Gamble, had paid off.
Specialising in retail has seen us pick up more contracts on a bread-and-butter basis rather than as one-offs, he said.
In the past 18 months the digital division has gone from running one printer to four.
Martin currently thinks digital print is a supplement to screen, but he acknowledged that a time would come when it would become dominant.
