The Isle of Man-based company said the kit en­­a­­bled its book production to be four times more productive. 

Additionally, Mark Green, managing director, said it enabled the operation to expand its capabilities.

He said: "The system has put us in the market for longer runs so we can take on work that we would have previously outsourced. Bringing all the work in-house gives us greater time and cost control."

The kit was the last piece of a series of investments made by the company, which included a five-colour B2 Ryobi.

Green added: "We had been getting by for a long time with an old system, but when we added the Ryobi in the autumn we had a real struggle to keep up in the bindery."
