Texas Tech to Add Another Large Offset Press

The 34-person University Printing Services group (32 full-time and two part-time) includes four operators trained on the ROLAND 300. Smith says they accomplish four or five complete makereadies in a typical day, smoothly and quickly, because of the automated systems on the press.

“We have all the bells and whistles on this press with automated plate loading, blanket and impression cylinder washing,” he says. “The format settings and manroland’s ColorPilot color control system also further shorten our makeready time, while ensuring output accuracy and reducing waste.”
