C&S Press: Service With a Savings

Rise and Shine

Consistency has been another hallmark for C&S, which has enjoyed steady growth—to the tune of 5 percent to 10 percent per year. A single- and two-color printer when it debuted in 1985, the company has billowed to more than $9 million in annual sales.

Until recently, C&S' biggest presses—a pair of six-color, 29? Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 74s (one with an aqueous coater)—were perfectors. Last November, the company installed a new four-color, 20? Speedmaster SM 52 equipped with Heidelberg's Anicolor zoneless short inking unit and dampening system. The short makereadies and paper savings achieved on the SM 52 have proven to be pivotal for C&S, which also took advantage of benefits derived from last year's U.S. economic stimulus package.
