Offset Printing in the Modern World
In this short-run era, where a third of all jobs have run lengths of just 250 sheets, how are sheetfed offset presses faring? Industry observer Frank Romano offers his view.
Other findings:
• Press crews for a six-color 40˝ press were at two people, often with a floater who went from press to press to assist with makeready.
• Most of the printers had or were replacing two older presses with one new, more automated press.
• Saving 10 minutes per makeready can result in more than $100,000 in savings per year for the average plant.
Frank Romano is Professor Emeritus at RIT School of Media Sciences.
