New Heidelberg Speedmaster 5-Color Press

These photos are of our new Heidelberg Speedmaster 5-color press as it was being installed. We also have a new 2-color press.
 

After our older presses were moved out of the building, it was necessary to chip out the existing cement floor where our old Heidelberg press stood for almost 40 years. A new and thicker cement “pad” was poured to handle the weight of the new Speedmaster. The new cement pad is about 14 inches thick which was necessary to support the weight of the new 5-color press which weighs 50,000.

The new press arrived on semi trucks in units which had to be assembled. It was also necessary to cut the top off a doorway to get the new units into the building.

The installation and training for our pressmen took nearly a month. It was important to us and our customers that we remained fully operational during this transition and we were successful! We didn’t miss a beat.

Here's What Our New Equipment Means To You - Our Customers:

• PryntComm now has the capability to handle almost every print job at a competitive price.
