Offset Printing - Sheet-Fed

RMGT will be running live demonstrations of its flagship 970 8-UP+ press at PRINTING United Expo. The company continues to “Commit to Print” with the only offset press at this year’s event.

PRINTING United Alliance has recognized Heidelberg's Plate to Unit solution with a Pinnacle Award for Technology for 2023. Plate to Unit is a fully automatic printing plate logistics solution for the Speedmaster XL 106 designed to reduce operator workload and ensure higher process reliability.

In-plant Impressions visited the new 18,000-sq.-ft. home of TXDOT’s Print Shop and Digital Print Center to see the new four-color RMGT offset press in action and tour the busy wide-format printing operation.

In its first time entering the In-Print contest, the U.S. Government Publishing Office has won Best of Show out of all the offset-printed Gold winners. Watch the judges as they make their decision.

The latest version of the CutStar sheeter offers a Push-to-Stop capability, more automation, simpler handling, and easier maintenance.

Clarence Penge, Heidelberg's executive VP of product management, discusses automation advancements now available on sheetfed offset printing presses that drive higher output productivity, reduce waste, and require less labor.

Why does offset still make sense for higher-ed in-plants? IPI Editor Bob Neubauer asked the directors of three of the largest university in-plants: Richard Beto, University of Texas at Austin; John Sarantakos, University of Oklahoma; and John Yerger, University of Nebraska, Lincoln.

Doug Schardt of printing press manufacturer Komori America discusses the importance of automation on sheetfed offset presses. Printers are interested most in plate changers, blanket washers, and camera monitoring systems, all of which he describes as “de-facto choices” among sheetfed offset printing press purchasers.

As the Palm Beach County Graphics Division retires its Shinohara 662P offset press, the in-plant has created a video looking back fondly at the press and its service over the years.

RMGT is still celebrating its success at PRINTING United Expo with nearly 50 print units sold during the show.
