It can also be an issue of finding the right printer for the project. This is the type of job we do every day. Our pricing FOB Green Bay, WI is approx. $1,450 for 5,000 and $2,200 for 10,000.

Predominantly magazines, catalogs and books.

The 16,250 sheets per hour on the floor is for running time. In 2017 we produced 58 million impressions on our 4 color press. When you divide 58,000,000 sheets by 6,000 hours (roughly 3 shifts) the result is 9,667 sheets per manned hour on the floor. When you start to factor in planned downtime...

This is the type of job we do every day. You print that job offset in my shop, while I won't fire you, we will have a serious discussion about true manufacturing cost. The plates for that job will cost about the same as the clicks, add in the sheet utilization difference between offset and...

For the Heidelberg XL, ask your Heidelberg rep about Performance Plus. Basically they extract production data from the press console monthly and provide a running 12 month average OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and the numbers behind the OEE. They will also compare your OEE number against...

We've had Xerox "experts" tell us the same thing about PS vs APPE. When we told them "because our customers use transparency", their response was "Why are they using transparency, don't they know better" Don't even get me started on Freeflow Print Server for iGen4 not honoring overprint...

We just installed xmf and were surprised to find out that xmf does not come with a preloaded Pantone library. We were told that spot colors (Pantone colors) are added to the Ink Pool as they are encountered in jobs/files, and they use the Ink Settings that from that file. Every prepress...

Our primary electric service is 480 volts - 1,200 amps. From this panel we supply 4 step-down transformers that provide 120/208 volts to sub-panels (typically one sub-panel per transformer). These sub-panels provide power to our offices, prepress, press room and bindery. Individual machines...

One of the most important longterm considerations is who you will use for ongoing maintenance and support. If you are going to use an independent mechanic, get them engaged during the selection and evaluation process. It is common to send your mechanic to evaluate any press that you are...

Yes, all three cuts are left to right, and this will cause tear-out at the foot. We have one and finally stopped using it for this reason. At one time Amatco was modifying these to resolve this problem.

We have a Suprasetter 105 (3 lasers - 18 plates per hour) with SCL. It was installed 2-1/2 years ago and has been very reliable. We image approx 1,500 40" plates and 200 25" plates per month. We have imaged a total of 54,000 plates over 24,271 "power on" hours and 2,862 exposure hours. The...

Heidelberg Consumables Heidelberg Consumables We have an XL105 which was installed in Jan 2008. We just converted to Heidelberg's Saphira fountain solution, previously we were running Prisco. We have been running Toyo HyPlus 100 inks since the press was installed. With both combinations we...
