Short Runs are a Tall Order

Printers will be getting all the help they need from press manufacturers who are making tremendous strides towards maximizing the uptime potential of their new press offerings. "The well-known trend in the market is toward smaller runs for various reasons," observes Terry Trexler, product manager for Gallus. "We understand the pressure printers are facing to provide just-in-time (JIT) production, multi-SKUs, and versioning. Our innovative focus is on making the short run as cost effective as possible for the printer."
