Case Study
A premier Northeast packaging printer was running its press at 14,000 sheets per hour while trying to reach the manufacturer’s 17,000 spec. They were having serious problems with ink building-up on press rollers and printed colors not being consistent.
What we did:
- Observed the issue and came back to our lab to formulate a mixture specifically for their print environment that ensures non-image areas of printing plates repel ink
- Optimized their system that uses the mixture
- Created a professional press maintenance program
Results:
- Customer now sees consistent run times of 17,000 sheets per hour – a 21.5% gain – without the original adverse effects
- Ink and water requirements are down 8-10%
