Independent Coding
& Marking Intelligence

Sunrise 2027 has a habit of turning up in conversations it wasn’t invited to — budget reviews, board updates, line manager one-to-ones. Plant Managers know the deadline is coming; what’s less clear is whether the equipment currently on the floor will actually meet it, and who to ask that isn’t trying to sell them something.

That’s the gap we sit in. We don’t supply printers, ribbons or software, so there’s nothing to gain by pointing you towards one brand over another. What we do is look hard at what’s actually installed — CIJ, TIJ, laser, TTO, labelling — and tell you plainly what’s compliant, what’s borderline, and what needs replacing before 2027 makes the decision for you.

Clients come out the other side with a plan they trust, because it was built around their lines rather than a sales target. That’s the whole point of staying vendor-neutral: the advice doesn’t change depending on who we’d rather be selling.
