Urantia Press purchases second Ryobi two-colour press

Kent-based commercial printer Urantia Press has purchased a second Ryobi two-colour B3 press in order to handle a "significant" rise in demand for stationery.

The Ryobi 522GE press is Urantia’s third two-colour machine, joining a Ryobi 522HE and a Heidelberg PrintMaster.

Urantia director Jeffrey Collins said: "We have been seeing a significant rise in the amount of work coming in during the course of the past nine months. The new press will help us better manage the level of demand that we are now experiencing."

The Northfleet company specialises in short- to medium-run stationery work. It produces items such as business cards, leaflets and brochures, with the majority of work produced on two-colour machines.
