Our New Stitching Machine Is Up and Running

Earlier this year, we installed a new twin tower DBM-600 stitching machine. We part exchanged our System 5000 bookletmaker for the upgraded model from manufacturer Duplo.

Colour Print managing director Ric Martin was interviewed by industry magazine Printweek about the upgrade, he told the publication:

“This is an upgrade to our previous machine which we bought back in 2013 but had done it’s time. We’d been very happy with its performance and it suited our requirements; we’ve got a relatively small factory here and a larger stitching line wasn’t really appropriate to us so the Duplo was the obvious choice.

“We’d seen a move towards more digital production and the Duplo is perfect for that. This particular machine is also capable of stitching an A4 landscape, which we have found is desirable within certain markets, specifically the property agents.”

Training on the new machine went very smoothly, aided by the fact that we were already familiar with the Duplo technology. The newer model is more electronic in terms of its setup, but getting to grips with that was relatively straightforward.

With this upgrade to our stitching capabilities, we look forward to working with clients old and new to service their bookleting needs. We are also happy to help out industry colleagues with specialist stitching requirements that we are now capable of.
