After investing in March in large-format material (read The Ethap printing house invests in large format printing ) which enables it to guarantee the quality and deadlines of the marking and signage, the Ethap printing company has completed its finishing offer to have a 100% integrated finishing workshop.
A solution for 3D varnishing
"?Il was missing a solution for the varnish 3D?! It's now a thing faite?!"?», is delighted François Trinel, Community Manager of the printing plant. The winning bid was from Konica Minolta with whom Ethap is already a partner on its two digital presses, the MGI JetVarnish 3D One.
"After extensive testing with Konica Minolta at ?Après, we did not find it appropriate to opt for the version with iFoil because our laminator, the GMP Q-topic 380, already enables us to make flat and now embossed prints with the coating from MGI?, explains François Trinel.
Adapting to agency demand
Another investment at the end of October with a new Morgana Digibook 200 PUR binder which entered the workshop to complement the existing one.
" ?Nous thus have both technologies at their disposal according to the requests. Many of the graphic designers and agencies we work with are adept with creative paper and asked us for this type of finish for their livres?", says François Trinel.
After the confinement and with the rise of teleworking, the printing company has also developed web-to-print to enable its customers to facilitate, fluidify and manage their stocks in a few clicks alone or between several teleworking people.
Finally, in January, a new routing machine will replace the current CMC.
The Ethap group (Employment of disabled workers in sheltered workshops) has as its main mission to find work for people weakened by a physical disability, most often as a result of an accident in life. The company, created in 1988, groups together the activities of printing, routing, green spaces, recycling and building.
