CADMUS SPECIALTY PRINTING — WHEN COMPETITION’S FIERCE

The largest piece of Cadmus Specialty Publications’ capital investment initiative, the Sunday 3000, has yet to be installed. With a rated speed of 60,000 per hour, the Sunday press will help set the tone for enhanced productivity, according to Rodriguez.

“The lion’s share of the work in Easton is 32-page magazines and 16-page tabloids, four-over-four,” he says. “So we’ve traditionally had to utilize eight-unit presses. The Sunday 3000 allows us to get those impositions out of four printing units in a single web. So we have very dramatic improvements in makeready and operating speeds.”
