Intelligencer Printing Company, one of the oldest commercial printers in the United States based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has installed a Manroland HiPrint 700 Press. The company has been operating for over 200 years and produces award-winning heatset web, sheetfed and digital printing while offering complete finishing, mailing, marketing and fulfillment services.
The new Manroland HiPrint 700 Press with simultaneous plate loading (SPL), perfecting capabilities, and InlineColorPilot Plus system, maintains colour quality controls to Process Standards ISO 12647-2 – an extremely demanding and highly selective colour standard. It will hang 8 plates in 4 minutes, come up to colour in 156 sheets and can run at 16,000 sheets an hour.
“Intelligencer makes technological investments which best suit the needs of our clients,” said CEO Robert Mason. “They’re the lifeblood of our business – and equipping our valued staff with the tools to deliver results beyond the client’s expectations is more than a goal, it’s a necessity. With the speed of this press, it will more than double our current sheetfed print capacity at unprecedented quality levels. We look forward to serving existing clients faster and working with new customers in 2016.”
Intelligencer opted to include features such as InlineRegister, ok-Balance process analysis software, a full scope of QuickChange features, Manroland Sheetfed’s exclusive TripleFlow Ink distribution system, and the “coveted grail” of colour quality control, its InlineColorPilot Plus system, said Manroland.
“Intelligencer will experience an upsurge in production efficiency like never before,” said Michael Mugavero, Managing Director & CEO of Manroland Sheetfed U.S. & Canada. “This press, the first SPL HiPrint Press in North America, is equipped with the latest make-ready and quality control features which are unmatched in capability and speed.”
“When you get right down to it, printing is like any manufacturing process,” added Joseph Schott, Intelligencer’s Vice President of Operations. “Efficiency comes when you operate quickly, reduce waste, transition from one job to another easily, and move fast. That’s what we get with this new press. Our clients will enjoy faster turnaround times, less waiting between press approvals and better colour control.”
