The London company printed the first run of 1,000 copies in five colours on its Heidelberg Speedmaster 102XS. A further 350 limited editions of the twice-yearly magazine feature a die-cut, gold foiled slip case and binding with visible stitching. Joint partner Roy Killen said one of the creative highlights of the 108-page magazine with six-page cover was the “coptic” binding, with exposed thread stitching down the spine. The magazine measures 255mm x 210mm. Article, billed as a magazine that “celebrates Britain with the coolest of papers”, covers art, design, culture and contemporary men’s fashion and was printed with the support of Arctic Paper UK. The launch issue includes a selection from the paper supplier’s range including Arctic Matt, Arctic Silk, Arctic Volume White and Munken Lynx Rough. The latter was chosen for its “tactile appeal; not too bulky or shiny, yet offering unique colour reproduction,” said the magazine’s art director Rosy Tsai. Arctic Paper managing director Garry Colyer, said: “This unique magazine is inspirational in terms of design and its choice of papers. All standard Arctic Papers are FSC certified so it has great environmental credentials too.” Push works with design companies, galleries, arts organisations, publishers and the wider creative community....

According to the commercial printing company, the Mercury, which was purchased from Intelligent Finishing Systems (IFS) and installed in March, has made lamination work on short-run digital jobs faster and more cost-effective. Nutan co-proprietor Reg Rathod said: “No longer relying on third-party finishers means we can offer lamination on all work and keep costs in-house. Sending it out took time and was costly. “We have already seen a 50% increase in the amount of lamination we’re doing.” The Mercury 530SF installed at Nutan is a fully automatic model with a top speed of 30m/min. Nutan operates a number of digital and conventional presses, including a Konica Minolta Bizhub, installed six months ago, and a five-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 52. Rathod, who assessed other laminators before opting for the Mercury, added: “We liked the Foliant’s ease of operation and we believed the build quality was better. We have worked with IFS for a long time and if they have chosen to represent Foliant then we trust the system will meet our...

The new head, released earlier this year, features a stainless steel cap to protect the anti-wetting layer of the nozzle plate from deterioration during operation and cleaning cycles. The Netherlands-based manufacturer of digital textile print equipment is to include the improved head in all of its future ColorBooster XL installations as well as making it available as an option for clients with existing machines. Additionally the manufacturer has introduced a capping station that includes a nozzle plate cleaning system with fluid flush and soft wipers. Hollanders will upgrade all ColorBooster XL 320 systems to incorporate the new element as part of its offered print maintenance service covering current life-cycle contracts. Hollanders marketing and communications manager Roland Biemans said: “The capping station and print-head change might appear to be relatively minor elements in the overall machine, but all key parts that are upgraded must be acknowledged and factored in as a benefit for the increased life and easier maintenance of the printer.”...
