AMP Printing Invests in 10-color UV Perfector

“There was never an issue with our name, reputation or the quality of our work, just with what it cost us in terms of the time and labor needed to sustain that level of excellence,” Main added. “No matter how hard or how long we worked, we just couldn’t compete on productivity. We made up our mind to retool and update our pressroom in order to work faster and more efficiently while growing the business.”

The press comes equipped with automated features like Prinect Inpress Control and AutoPlate XL, which will allow AMP to expand its capacity, attract additional high-end work and produce more jobs per day—most in just one press pass. This will streamline press checks, as well as enable a customer to walk out the door with a finished sample after just one setup.

“We’re already known for our ability to produce high-end UV projects on a wide range of synthetic substrates,” Main said. “The XL 106 is as versatile as we are; we’ll be able to run it as a straight 10-color press or a 5/5 double-coating machine. And it’s fast—you have to see it running flawlessly at 15,000 sph in perfecting mode to believe it can be done."
