PRINT 09: Fast Presses, Slow Show
Offset Vendors Stress Service Programs
On the offset side, sheetfed press exhibitors were all singing the same tune that the "holy grail" to achieving profitability in these tough times lies in a print shop's efficiency—quick makereadies, waste reduction, higher productivity with fewer people. And with few buyers of heavy iron around, several vendors at the show were also singing the praises of their press maintenance/service programs and consumables offerings.
