The article reports that Dorchester books and journals printer Henry Ling has installed an MB CAS 52/4 from Encore Machinery alongside its line up of Stahls, which cope with BI work. Helen Kennett, head of manufacturing said that the MB replaces a Stahl T52, which lacked the automation features needed to cut makeready times. The decision landed on Encore's machine after seeing it at Digital Print World and the impact has been immediate. It has halved the time it used to take us to set up a job. Added to this it can also store set up information for repeat jobs.
