Portman Graphic
 
portlandThe first Jupiter 25, B2 lamination system has been installed by Portman Graphic in the Republic of Ireland; thus sealing the new dealer partnership.  Portman were appointed in July this year and have added D&K laminators to their existing range of press and finishing products.

The Jupiter 25 (25m/min) is part of the our Jupiter range which includes the Jupiter 30 (30m/minute) and the Jupiter DS - one/two side lamination in one pass.  The Jupiter can also be fitted with our Stacker system to increase productivity.

We are fast approaching a total of 50 Jupiter installations into the UK, Europe and the Pacific Rim.

UK's first Europa installations

 

Since its launch at IPEX this year a considerable number of Europa installations have taken place around Europe and even as far afield as the Middle East and Australia.  Now D&K are pleased to announce the first two Europa installations in the UK itself.

Europa 


 

The Europa has proved to be extremely popular due to it's high build quality, compact footprint and competitive pricing. 

 

Many printers that would look at a fully automated low volume laminator have limited floor space so we designed the Europa to have an overall footprint scarcely larger than our semi-automatic Pegasus at only 272cm x 125cm.  The automated feeder and burster type sheet separator means that only one operator is required to run the machine with simple and easy to operate controls; it also has the benefit of low maintenance and is ideal for today's print on demand market. 

 

Installation is quick and easy with our engineers giving full operator training once the machine is installed and they are always available to give help and advice when needed.

 Film price increase 


There has been a huge increase in the price of some of the raw materials that are used in laminating and encapsulating film production. Polyester has been particularly badly affected and this is largely due to increasing demand for its use in the manufacture of such items as screens and solar panels.

 

Regrettably these increases mean that we have to raise our prices effective 1st January 2011.  All customers will be contacted in writing regarding the increase.

 

In closing we would like to thank you for your continued custom and hope that you will understand that this increase lies completely beyond our control.
