Both Goss C700i presses are configured with the award-winning Goss DigiRail digital inking system, a precise technology which
replaces traditional open fountain ink
delivery, reducing start-up waste while delivering consistently high print
quality.
Steven Haire, vice president and general
manager of the Pro Line Reno, Nevada Division, comments, "The technology that
Goss International has introduced to Pro Line has helped us to be even more
efficient, provide better quality to our
customers, and has instilled pride in our employees knowing that they are
producing top quality products time and again."
Sitting side-by-side, one C700i press
at Pro Line averaged 84,775 iph – a
total of 1,017,300 impressions over the course of the shift – while the second press produced 1,003,332
impressions, including a version change, averaging a speed of 83,611iph.
Haire comments on the achievement, "To print
over one million impressions on two presses on the same shift takes a high level of teamwork, not just from the
press crews but from everyone involved. From accurate plates in prepress to the
paper handlers and the packaging crews –
it comes down to cooperation, training and determination to reach this level of
efficiency."
Pro Line was the first printer in the world
to equip a Goss insert press with DigiRail inking technology. Haire says that Pro Line's low
makeready waste levels are due largely to the accuracy of the DigiRail presets. "The presets are unbelievable – there is virtually zero fluctuation in the ink
densities once they are set," he explains.
Haire confirms, "Production speed is one of
the few things that can differentiate printers from the competition. In this
market, it is not only quality, service and on-time delivery, but how quickly you can turn a job around that makes you
stand out from the crowd."
Pro Line currently operates 19 Goss
presses, including 12 C700i presses, and specialises
in producing newspaper inserts for major retailers in the USA, including
Wal-Mart and Home Depot.
