New Five-color Press Keeps UTHealth Busy
"The sheet comes off dry," Horbelt says.
With the old press, sheets had to sit for a day or more waiting for the ink to dry before they could be cut or folded, seriously slowing production. Now sheets can go immediately from press to bindery.
Also enhancing productivity are the press's automation features. It boasts an automated feeder with central suction belt, automatic plate changing and automated wash-up. The Prinect Prepress Interface automatically sets the paper size and presets the ink fountain settings for color density on the press. Settings are saved and can be called back up when the job is run again.
