Executive Forum?Servo-Driven Presses

pP: Printing presses using servo technology currently bear a premium price tag. How quickly can your customers get the payback to justify this expense?

Guy—Recent studies have shown that the Gallus RCS 330 in head-to-head comparisons with other conventional technology printing presses provides a payback in less that three years. ROI tends to be faster on a well-integrated servo press system due to all the benefits that it can provide as compared to a conventional or mechanical printing press. It seems hard to believe payback is faster on an asset that sells for over $2 million when you are used to buying a press for $500K. It shows how efficient and productive the new machines truly are.
