Printing
Recently, we added a Komori 40 inch printing press to our print department. This press is capable of printing six colours at once plus has an aqueous coating unit to apply a variety of coatings to finish the print job at speeds up to 13,000 sheets per hour.
A ColorLinx closed loop colour monitoring system controls the colour of the printed jobs. CIP3 files are received from the Pre Press department to setup the Printing press for the next job. Press sheets are scanned throughout the production run on the X-rite spectrophotometer. The computer automatically adjusts the press to ensure that the colour stays consistent. This eliminates colour variations throughout the run.
The addition of this press enhanced our capabilities to provide customers with the quickest turnaround on their jobs. Sheets come out of the press dry and ready for die cutting immediately.
Unlike other folding carton manufacturers, we apply blister coating inline to the printed sheet, eliminating the need to send sheets out to third party finishers. This maintains high quality as we have control over the entire printing process.
