Our upgraded print technology is here.
We’ve just invested in three new high-performance machines at our York print hub—enhancing the quality, speed and sustainability of what we already deliver every day.
From supporter mailings and thank-you letters to promotional inserts, postcards and branded packaging—we’ve upgraded our in-house capabilities to give your campaigns even more impact, with quicker turnarounds and greater efficiency.
Here’s what’s new (and what it means for you):
Ricoh Pro C9500 – Premium colour print, elevated performance
The new Ricoh Pro C9500 replaces our Ricoh 9100, delivering outstanding colour precision, better paper handling and smarter automation—while maintaining strong environmental credentials.
What it means for you:
- Vivid, consistent colour on everything from thin flyers to thick postcards (40gsm–470gsm)
- Fine-tuned gloss control to match your brand’s look and feel
- Real-time colour calibration and front-to-back alignment for a polished finish
- ENERGY STAR® certified and EPEAT Silver rated to support your sustainability goals
Perfect for personalised mailings, inserts, brochures or bespoke donor packs with a high-end feel—without the cost of traditional offset print.
Ricoh Pro 8400S – Fast, reliable mono output
Our mono printer has also had a serious upgrade. The 8400S increases print speed, improves resolution and expands paper range—all while reducing environmental impact.
What it means for you:
- Up to 136 pages per minute, with clear 1200 DPI quality
- Handles media up to 350gsm, ideal for forms, booklets or correspondence
- Built with 25% post-consumer plastic and lower carbon manufacturing processes
Whether you’re sending out supporter updates, donation confirmations or fulfilment letters, this machine helps us move even faster—while staying precise.
Quadient DS-700 iQ – Smarter inserting at scale
Replacing the DS-1200 we relied on for over a decade, the DS-700 brings more automation and flexibility to our inserting processes—ideal for high-volume and multi-component mailings.
What it means for you:
- Quick changeovers between clients or jobs
- Handles more complex inserts, up to 10mm thick
- Modular, scalable and built for accuracy
This ensures your mailings—no matter the size or format—go out quickly, correctly, and with the quality your supporters expect.
