Geographics to Install First Heidelberg "Zero-Makeready" Web Press

The Sunday 2000 at Geographics will include two AT printing units. "With AT and Autoplate, we expect to run the press with a reduced crew and to run it continuously through several edition changes," Hagan notes. "We will also have the option of using all six units for six-color jobs."

Hagan established Geographics in 1976 after investing $32,000 to purchase a bankrupt sheetfed printing operation. Today, 200 employees generate annual revenues of $37 million, providing comprehensive digital prepress, sheetfed and web offset printing, bindery, fulfillment and data management services. The company recently completed an $11 million expansion of its 400,000 square foot facility and added ten-color and six-color Heidelberg Speedmaster sheetfed presses.
