Graphoprint is pleased to announce an investment in a management information system supplied by the Technique Group.

The solutions from Technique form part of a large multi-million pound investment by Graphoprint including 3 new highly automated GOSS web presses, an Agfa Apogee X prepress workflow and Muller Martini post press and bindery equipment. The investment in Technique includes a complete management information system and 15 data collection devices to monitor press and finishing resources.

JDF connectivity in the Technique solutions will enable Graphoprint to achieve a fully automated workflow with new and existing equipment supplied by Goss, Agfa, Muller Martini, Heidelberg and MBO.

Mike Povah (Graphoprint Works Director) says “Technique have a proven track record in the commercial web business and have been able to demonstrate that they have an excellent solution for Graphoprint. We were looking for a system strong in both the commercial and production areas which will also enable us to capitalise on the JDF capabilities we have available.  We felt that Technique’s commitment to JDF matched Graphoprint’s and made them the clear choice.”

Paul Cooper (Technique Managing Director) says “This is a wonderful opportunity to realise the full potential of our JDF connectivity across the entire business of a major commercial web printer.  Graphoprint’s investment and commitment to be the industry leader in the full implementation of JDF driven solutions in partnership with Technique, further confirms our position as the market leader in the web offset industry.”
