No Lethargy for Letterpress

According to Yates, stack design advantages include a smaller floor space requirement (similar to a CI press), UV curing units at every station, chill rollers after every unit to eliminate heat issues, portability, 15-minute changeovers, and visibility of the web at every station.Part of the CI press contingent, Fujita highlights this design's better print-to-print registration. "The waste factor also is much less," he elaborates. "It is much easier and faster to get into registration and to achieve accurate color reproduction." Fujita says the CI press also allows the operator to clean multiple stations at one time.
