Launched just over three years ago by Duplo International, the company says its IDEAL 5222 has become a favourite amongst copy shops and digital printers because of its competitive price tag, hydraulic clamping, space-saving design and ease of use.

Some 40,000 students are enrolled at the City of Glasgow College and each year around 200 of these pass through the Print Teaching department. The college offers a range of courses including an NQ in screen printing designed to equip students with the necessary skills to go straight into industry and a choice of HNC and HND courses in digital media and creative print making which can be a stepping stone to higher education within the creative trades. All the courses are a combination of theory and practice, with students getting a complete hands-on education on all the equipment.

The guillotine, which was supplied by local company Well Finished, will mostly be used for the finishing of booklets and swatch books produced by the students.

    About The Print Business

    What does 
    Print Business 
    deliver?

    Engaged readers. It’s as simple as that. The people who run print businesses read Print Business and they read it thoroughly.

    Whatever subject we write about, through our pages we speak directly to the managing director of a typical commercial printer. What does he want to know about? What is important to him?

    And also, what isn’t important to him? We get technical when we need to and frequently do. But quite often, the person who makes the buying decisions doesn’t necessarily want to know how many sheets per hour. He wants to know what difference it will make to his business. And Print Business tells him.

    No other publication gets out on the street and visits printers, goes into their factories, sees how they work and speaks to them in their own language as often or as thoroughly as Print Business.

    We tell the success stories of printers, how they did it, how they came to the decisions they did, what it means for them. And that is what our reader devours, every word.

    Then he thinks about what he has read. He does a bit more research. He looks up the companies he has read about and the suppliers of the equipment they use. Because he has seen in our pages the equipment installed in companies like his, he can picture how it would work in his own. 

    When the Print Business reader enters the process to buy, he is already well informed, well researched and further down the line. Engaged, one might say.

    PRINT BUSINESS. The magazine for forward thinking printing.
