Dayton Newspapers Installs First Two-up Heidelberg Long Perfector in North America

Even if space had not been a consideration, Bomberry reports, the run length and type of work the company processes would have driven the decision to install a small-format press. “The bulk of our work is 8.5 x 11” work, mostly single sheet, and mostly less than 75,000 copies, with many short-run jobs around 5,000 to 10,000 copies. A small-format press fits not only the footprint but also the work. The new 4/4 works well because it can produce these two-up jobs at a rate of 25,000 to 30,000 finished pieces per hour. This fits in very well with our requirements in the packaging department.”
