Maintenance Relief

There may be an answer to the evils of maintenance, however, for those companies willing and able to front a hefty capital investment. Gearless presses, driven by servo-motor technology, hit the market about 10 years ago, boasting such advantages over conventional presses as infinite repeat sizes, easier registration, and improved quality control with the ability to automatically pre-register print sleeves, said Steven Leibin, sales manager for Matik North America (distributor of OMET's gearless press).
