DocuMaster boosts KnowledgePoint's finishing

Taken from Digital Printer March 09:

“KnowledgePoint, a provider of training materials for the IT industry, has added to its finishing capability by installing a Morgana DocuMaster at its Reading headquarters. Following a recent re-branding the company expects to increase business by 20%. The DocuMaster will play its part by helping KnowledgePoint to increase production of marketing and sales material.

Founded in 1997, KnowledgePoint’s core business lies in the design and production of training materials for training companies and corporates in the IT market. Output, which is short run and usually wire bound, is produced on a battery of Xerox and Océ mono and Xerox colour print engines. Volumes are impressive, with over 100,000 manuals produced on demand each month from courses provided by a broad-based clientele.

KnowledgePoint’s rapid growth has boosted turnover to £7 million and co-founders and directors Andre Philpot and Paul Gibbons have identified the production of marketing collateral as an important growth area for the future. ‘The emphasis here is very much on colour combined with a highly professional finish,’ said Mr Philpot. The DocuMaster is an integral part of this, operating near-line to take work from more than one print engine at a time and producing high quality saddle-stitched booklets.”
