Wide-Format Offset Printer Sets the Bar for Service

"Speed is a function of run length," Bird explained. "It depends on the potential time benefit you stand to gain. If you run 100 to 300 sheets at 15,000 sph, for example, the benefit is negligible, so you reserve the top speeds for your long-run work, where the time saved can be significant."

Faster makereadies and higher production speeds yield higher output only if a new press can be maintained and serviced efficiently. Via Heidelberg's Prinect Press Center, Annan & Bird will be able to access all press and peripheral information with Remote Service 24/7, enabling continued production while the press is being monitored by Heidelberg's "e-Call" self-monitoring system.
