Investment in process optimization pays off – delivery reliability up 50 percent and 20 percent higher productivity in the pressroom
The newest addition to Walker Printings pressroom lineup is a Speedmaster SM 52 4-color press with Anicolor inking, and it has made all the difference, according to company president Taylor Blackwell. Installed three months ago and in full production for two, the SM 52 Anicolor replaced an existing Speedmaster 74 6-color, a Heidelberg Printmaster QM 46-2, and a digital press.
Printers are striving to become more efficient and more sustainable and the pressroom presents some significant opportunities to accomplish both. FUJIFILM Graphic Systems U.S.A., Inc. has integrated various equipment products into the pressroom portfolio, creating incredible advancements in cost savings and sustainability.
FUJIFILM Graphic Systems U.S.A., Inc. and X-Rite Incorporated have once again come together to give printers more options for implementing Fujifilms patented Taskero Universe ColorPath Verified – a suite of performance analysis and monitoring tools – into the pressroom.
To underscore the fact that Toyo Ink products prove their worth in pressrooms every day of the year, Toyo Ink America will exhibit its widest array of inks and printing-related products ever assembled for a North American trade show at Print ’09.
Print shops that utilize Heidelbergs Prinect Pressroom Manager to control production and manage production data now have the ability to connect with the Pace and Monarch print production and management solutions from EFI. Heidelberg will demonstrate the interface on its stand (1200) at Print 09 next month.
Burnishine Products, manufacturer of pressroom chemicals since 1887, has new owners. The company was purchased recently from Weiman Products LLC by Grant Beck and Roger Giza, both of whom have long and successful histories in the graphic arts business.
