Innovative market Badger Printing Company constantly introduces modern equipment. This spirit of continuous innovation always attracts new business opportunities. The company has a history of forty-three years, operating leaflet printing business and four-page web printing business. The company has four 25 1/2′′ format Heidelberg presses (a monochrome MO press, two dual-color MOZP double-sided presses, and a six-color MOSP-H double-sided press), a GTO, and A TOK (29" Heidelberger Speedmaster Speedmaster 74 six-color perfector with coating unit, just purchased for two years). Badger Printing Company has constantly added new equipment to keep up with the pace of technological development. Recently, the company added new computer-to-platemaking equipment to increase the capabilities of the prepress process, including a Scitex Brisgue 4 and a Lotem platesetter. They use Wam!Net digital transmission network and full-color scanning equipment. The company has become the first printing company to install the Muller Martini Concept network. However, the main equipment that can produce high-quality sheet-fed jobs (such as direct mailings, publications, high-end sales products, reader service cards, etc.) is the company's counterprinter. After purchasing Speedmaster presses, the level of production automation and production have been greatly improved. Speed ​​and Registration Thanks to the Speedmaster presses, Badger has not only increased production speed, but also increased register accuracy. The fully automatic printing and automatic registration capabilities of the press have doubled the company's output. Therefore, without any adjustments to prepress operations, it already has a greater competitive advantage in the 40′′ format of printing. Badger’s annual sales reached five million US dollars and occupied 41,000 square feet. The market of equipment.With the continuous updating of marketing methods, the company hopes to double its profits in the next few years.In April, the company made a new slogan, "Rare Varieties of Printing Industry." This is a marketing campaign. It was proposed to win with a webpage.Because of the large fluctuations in print output, commercial printing companies began to shift their attention from 40′′ sheetfed printers to some models with smaller format. Printers do not reject small items that are not suitable for large-format printing presses, or reluctantly allow 40′′ printers to print small items, but add a counter press to increase production flexibility. For example, the Buch Printing Company with a long history has a good reputation for sheetfed printing, and this company owns 40â€, 51†and 60†multicolor sheets produced by KBA North America. Printing Equipment. However, after accepting the opinions of customers and studying the strengths of competitors, the company decided to introduce a new KBA 28′′ six-color printing press with a coating device and a long delivery device. The company certainly hopes that its own The operation was more flexible and able to continue to develop. They investigated the situation of the live jobs and consulted with some big customers. They were pleased to find that these customers had a considerable amount of front-line operations, but due to the customer's previous Replacing Buch with a large-format sheetfed printer, he was able to hand over all the folio business to other printers, and Buch believes that the fact that they have purchased a counter-printer is beneficial to existing customers. Because customers no longer need to find two printing companies; of course, Buch gains more, because they not only get a lot of front-line business from old customers, but also won a new batch of customers. Full service, all Buch presses can use cardboard, plastic film and plain paper as substrates. This new 28′′ KBA press also has this Activity, using both 50pt. Book paper, but using 32 pt. Jam. This press has improved the company’s reputation in the paper printing, folding cartons and carton label markets. The printing press helped the company increase its production efficiency, so that they would not encounter any inconsistency between the product type and the type of printing press, further improving the company's market competitiveness. Soon after the printing press was introduced, it needed to operate in two shifts. Now they are very happy because this machine brings them the speed, quality and flexibility they need. Variety of printing presses Another printing company named Yank also got similar conclusions. The company's press models range from the new 40†six-color Komori press with coating unit to the Ryobi 2800 CD printer with the Townsend T51AE ink head and the Ryobi 3302 true two-color printer. Everything is right: Off-press machines occupy a dominant position, including four 26" Komoris, two two-color machines, a four-color machine and a six-color machine. These machines are the main force of the company and they provide high quality print for advertising agencies and other customers in the surrounding areas. The company's annual revenue reaches 5 million U.S. dollars. The 26′′ size is a huge market for the company. Twenty years ago they introduced monochrome and two-color Komori presses. Since then, they have enjoyed their high yield and high quality characteristics. The advantage of this 26" size is that it has a full mission and can run continuously in a class without having to change the size of the plates and film at all. New market affiliates Any printer entering the sheetfed commercial printing market will choose to press the press. A few years ago, Tomas' equipment included a 25†Heidelberg monochrome printer, a 36†Harris monochrome printer, and a 40†Heidelberg two-color printer. However, as the company developed, it now required a function. A more complete press to meet the demand for flexibility and high production In June 1998, the company purchased a new 20×28′′ six-color Mitsubishi 1F single sheet with a coating device and a long delivery device. Paper printing machine. The specifications of this press are very suitable for Tomas. Nowadays, the print output is generally reduced, but the customer's requirements are increasing. This 28" press fills the gap between small format printers and 40" large format presses. Previously, when the company got a multi-color booklet printing business, it would be very unsuitable to print with their 40′′ dual-color press. Now, with this new Mitsubishi, it runs at a speed of 15,000 impressions/hour, and the productivity becomes higher. This allows the company to pick up more of these multi-color brochures, and it also has more control over the business than it did before, handing them over to other printers. From printing, plate making to printing, the company can complete it independently.In short, this high-quality printing press greatly increases the efficiency of the company's work.This versatile printing machine can use both cover paper and text paper, suitable for printing. With 3 to 6 colors of jobs, it ensures that each task can be completed on time.In addition to producing multi-colored prints for its large clients, the company also printed books, and they recently purchased a new Xerox DocuTech 6180 system. Now, they can also print six-color booklets and general manuals, which are mostly electronic files downloaded from the Internet.

They used to focus on the past. The 40′′ and more large-format Rapida, but out in the beginning also produced off the press.

Komori America The company’s Graph Expo '99/Converting Expo in Chicago The first Lithrone 28 double sided press was on display at the 99. The Lithrone 26 and Lithrone 28 all have 2 to 6 printing unit configurations. In addition, Komori also produced a color management system specially designed by the company. The system's printing press.The engineering design of this high-speed Lithrone press has been upgraded to accommodate the increased mechanical stress of the press at high speeds.The Lithrone 26 and 28 are equipped with double-sized impression cylinders and The paper roller, which can achieve a minimum number of transfer points and minimal marks on the paper, Komori ink system can make the ink film uniform and stable, to meet the requirements of high-grade jobs. The improved Komorimatic dampening system can provide as little fountain solution as possible from the first sheet and increase the transfer speed of the fountain solution from the water roller to the plate cylinder. The rate allows the fountain solution on the water roller to remove the stain. The Lithrone 26 and 28 can also be equipped with the Komori PDC-S system, which is a closed loop scanning spectrodensitometer that automatically measures, collects, and analyzes data. Realize the closed-loop press control and obtain statistical information about the working process.The press can also install the Komori Monitoring control system.This is a fully integrated system that integrates automatic start-up preparation, cleaning function, automatic plate changer system, and faults.

It can use everything from thin dictionaries to 24 pounds. One-sided or double-sided printing can run at 15,000 impressions/hour. The Roland 300 uses the Pecom press center console. The center console can control the full functionality of the press. After MAN RoLand added the impression cylinder cleaning system to the press, its sales volume doubled. MAN Roland also recently provided the printing process diagnostic system CCI Print Consult produced by System Brunner for this press. The functions of this new system are: quality assessment through detailed process analysis, processing of diagnostic information in textual form, and recommending measures based on pre-defined printing standards. The new CCI Print Consult print control signal strip (in both film and electronic format) provides more measurement points in each ink zone, providing the required information for detailed analysis of the printing process of four-color images. Its software works in the background and can process a large amount of measured data and evaluate it with reference to more than thirty variables affecting the print color. The operator can check the printing after each piece of proof is measured during the preparation stage of the boot or during the printing production process.
