RMGT has announced the sale and successful installation of several machines in the US and China.
Florida-based DPS (Digital Printing Solutions) recently installed an 8-UP RMGT 920PF-8+LED eight-colour long perfector.
A key highlight of the installation is the press’s advanced LED-UV Curing Technology, which has revolutionised DPS’s printing operations, according to the company.
The full-sized 8-UP press has already proven its value, enabling high-speed, high-quality production for the company’s busy political direct-mail season.
“Our new press makes high-volume, fast-turnaround work possible, and LED-UV instant-curing technology is one big reason,” said Terry Sutton, owner of DPS.
The firm recently completed a major project – printing 286,000 mailers within two days of receiving artwork.
LED Curing Technology ensures printed materials are immediately dry and ready for the next production step, significantly speeding up workflow.
The use of LED-inks has further optimized DPS’s production efficiency.
“Not having the printed product sit to dry is essential to keeping work flowing smoothly through the plant,” Sutton said.
In the past, DPS often used aqueous coating to expedite drying, even at additional cost. Now, LED Curing eliminates the need for such measures while delivering superior results.
Chris Manley, president of graphco, said, “LED inks are 8 per cent to 10 per cent glossier than traditional oil-based CMYK inks. Sheets coming off DPS’s new RMGT press almost have a sheen comparable to aqueous coating, without the energy-intensive drying process”.
US-based RMGT distributor Graphco Inc also announced the recent installation of a full size 8-up RMGT 970PF-4 to Michigan-based Quick Reliable Printing (QRP).
QRP serves clients across diverse sectors, including education, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and non-profits. This advanced piece of equipment represents a significant technological upgrade, replacing legacy sheetfed offset presses that had faithfully served for two decades.
“We realised we were relying on outdated technology, operating an ‘ancient’ press that lacked many of the automation tools available today,” said Hal Grunwell, a solutions specialist at QRP since 2006.
Grunwell highlighted the enthusiasm of the entire team for the new press, particularly its advanced features, such as automated ink management and skid loading. Among the most impactful innovations during the first four months of operation have been the LED-UV lamps.
“The automation is impressive, but the instant curing of UV ink with LED-UV curing has been a game changer,” he said.
The RMGT 970PF-4 press has proven to be a game-changer for QRP. Its impressive running speed of 16,000 sheets per hour, coupled with 30 per cent faster makeready times, significantly enhances productivity.
“We achieve optimal colour much more quickly now,” Grunwell stated. He also emphasized the benefits of G7 compliance, which ensures consistent colour matching with reduced paper waste.
The press’s ability to ‘learn’ during colour calibration has been particularly noteworthy. Additionally, the automatic skid-loading system streamlines workflow, enabling faster paper handling.
“We can flip and feed paper much more efficiently,” Grunwell said.
RMGT also announced another successful installation of the 1060TP-8 printing press in China to Zhong Mei (Beijing) PRINTING Co., Ltd. (Zhong Mei), a state-owned publishing and printing company based in Beijing.
Previously, Zhong Mei mainly used German-brand printing presses. However, after learning about the strong reputation of the TP series – widely installed across various regions in China – the company became interested in the technology.
Impressed by its production efficiency and proven nationwide performance, Zhong Mei made the decision to invest in the TP press.
“We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to our sales agent in China, Beijing Jia He Ding Xin Technology & Business Co., Ltd. (DINGA), for their dedicated efforts in promoting our products,” RMGT said.
“At RMGT, we are committed to providing a diverse range of high-quality printing machines and services, including our TP series, which meets the growing demand for double-sided printing. Through our domestic and international service networks, we will continue to support our customers with cutting-edge solutions.”
RMGT is available in the A/NZ region through Cyber.
RMGT will also be exhibiting at China Print 2025 in Beijing from 15-19 May, showing off the RMGT 970PF, 8-colour perfector with roll sheeter, as well as the RMGT 1060LX, 8-colour press with a double coater.
“The 8-color double-coater press will demonstrate advanced value-added printing, and RMGT members will also be on hand for introductions. We look forward to seeing you at Beijing, China in May,” the company said.
