AMP Invests in a Speedmaster XL 106 UV Perfector to Secure a Competitive Advantage

KENNESAW, GA—July 2, 2012—For 33 years, AMP Printing and Graphics, one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s premier commercial printers, relied on the dependability and print quality of its Heidelberg presses, which at times were from 12-20 years old. Push came to shove, however, when the Dublin, CA-based company determined that it would need to invest in a 10-color Speedmaster XL 106 perfecting press with two-sided UV printing and coating capabilities in order to stay competitive.

“Our decision had a lot to do with economics,” explained Jeff Main, who, together with his wife, Kathy, president of the company, made the financial commitment to move forward with this major capital expenditure. “While we’ve always been successful running Heidelberg presses, we were losing ground in an extremely competitive market because we were working with aging, less-productive equipment.
