New CTP Gets Idle Press Back In Action

Putting the Shinohara press back into service has allowed the in-plant and its 13 employees to keep more work in-house, including longer-run magazines that were being outsourced.

“We understand it’s a two-color press and it takes a little more time to produce those types of jobs, but the quality is there, the plates hold up great, and we are in control of the costs as opposed to outsourcing,” Barrett states. “Firing up a press that has been sitting idle for the past five years just made financial sense. The press is an asset that we weren’t using.”
