In-line Finishing--Going Retro on Presses

Now printers like Lehigh (at its Lehigh Cadillac Direct facility in Broadview, IL) are retrofitting older web presses with the latest in-line finishing technology, enabling them to meet the challenging demands of their customers. In adding this in-line finishing technology, Frick says, printers are adding value and profitability to an equipment portfolio that, in some cases, was not entirely current.
