onlineprinters.co.uk invests more than EUR three million in production / New 8-colour offset printing press expands online print shop's capacity

Neustadt an der Aisch, Germany (ots) - By investing more than EUR
three million, Onlineprinters, the internationally operating online
print shop, has expanded the production facilities at its German
site. Extra offset printing capacity was added in September with the
purchase of a new state-of-the-art 8-colour printing press, the
Heidelberger Speedmaster XL 106-8P, including a new CTP system for
digital printing plate exposure:

"The sophisticated printing technology enables us to print our
products even more quickly, efficiently and at more competitive
prices to our customers' benefit", Walter Meyer, CEO of
Onlineprinters GmbH, explains. More than 90 ultra-modern printing
presses are presently running 24/7 at the Onlineprinters GmbH
headquarters to handle the increased order volume in the
www.onlineprinters.com web shop. The online print provider operates
several web shops for the distribution of its large selection of
premium-quality offset and digital print products to business
customers in 30 European countries. "Our growth course in Europe is
continuing unabated", Meyer says. Even though the trend goes towards
online advertising, industry experts estimate that two thirds of
advertisement is still printed on paper. The distribution channels
for printed products, however, have significantly shifted to the
Internet: "Our customers purchase their printed products
conveniently, securely and quickly in our certified online shops. In
line with our motto 'Printings simply ordered online', we have grown
to become one of the leading online print shops in Europe within just
a few years", the Onlineprinters CEO describes the online shop's
growth course for premium offset and digital printed products "Made
in Germany".

8-colour offset printing press processes 18,000 sheets per hour
The 8-colour offset printing press allows printing flyers, folded
flyers and brochures in very short production times in print runs of
as much as 100,000. The Speedmaster XL has an hourly capacity of up
to 18,000 sheets sized 75 x 106 cm - this is equivalent to an area of
48 football fields of printed paper per day. The printing unit is
equipped with automatic colour management (inpress control) which
guarantees colour fidelity and brilliant print quality. Both sides of
a sheet can be printed in one pass thanks to innovative perfecting
technology. The high quality of the printed products is confirmed by
the re-certification according to ProcessStandard Offset (PSO). "Our
customers can rely on the excellent quality of the products we print.
We guarantee a constant, true-colour print result over the entire
production run and a reprint colour result that can be reproduced
anytime", Walter Meyer explains the reliable high quality of
