Firing On All Cylinders

On-press imaging also lowers the production costs for shorter runs by eliminating platemaking operations, Palmer says. This process simplification, combined with the press operational streamlining possible in an all-in-one unit, make it easier to manage production and respond to job changes, he continues. The net result is faster makereadies, which means the press can be kept running more of the time when producing short-run jobs, he says.
