New high-tech machine will be a boost to company

A machine which can print up to 9,120 double-sided sheets per hour has been installed as part of a Dearne Valley firm’s £12 million factory-wide investment.

Manvers-based instantprint has bought a new Canon varioPRINT iX3200 High Speed Inkjet Press.

The high-tech machine will improve colour, detail and consistency across a wider variety of paper types, while supporting more efficient, on-demand production

Laura Mucklow, head of instantprint, said: “When we invest in new technology, what matters most is what it means for our customers.

“Businesses need print that looks professional, arrives quickly and works within their budget. The new Canon press gives us more capacity, greater flexibility and consistently high-quality results, helping us deliver on the speed, affordability and quality our customers expect.

“It also gives us the technology to keep expanding our offering as our customers’ needs evolve, making brilliant print as accessible and straightforward as possible.”

The technology supports precise, on-demand production, helping instantprint minimise unnecessary paper and ink use while improving manufacturing efficiency.

This contributes to instantprint’s wider sustainability ambitions, including its commitment to achieving Net Zero across scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2035.

The £12 million investment by the firm ultimately strengthens the operation behind instantprint’s core promise to SMEs: professional-quality print that is fast, reliable and competitively priced, whether a customer needs a small run of business cards or thousands of flyers for their next campaign.

instantprint specialises in 24-hour flyers and leaflets, business cards, posters and stationery.

As part of the company’s recent £12 million investment, it now offers next day printing across PVC banners.
