Large-format Printing — Size DOES Matter!

Strine already had three MAN Roland large-format presses: two six-color, 56˝ Roland 900 models and a six-color, 73˝ﾝRoland 900 XXL with coater. The trio of presses were running around the clock, and the addition of the new 64˝ press enables Strine to continue the three-shift, 24/7 momentum.

Interestingly, Strine Printing execs originally didn’t expect the large-format business to take off like it did. So, they had no idea they would be installing another XXL press a year after their 73˝ machine was added. The extra capacity of the 64˝ Roland 900 was needed sooner, rather than later, explains William Kirk, president of Strine Printing. Also, he notes, the 64˝ press was the perfect fit between its existing 56˝ and 73˝ press formats.
