Knepper Press Purchases manroland Roland 700 Direct Drive Press

“Our new investment in the press further solidifies our position as the top tri-state printer,” said Bill Knepper, Chairman. “The direct drive system will complement our current press lineup by enabling us to efficiently and effectively produce smaller runs, as low as 500 impressions. The press will be fully networked with our two other sheetfed presses via manroland’s printnet, so we can switch jobs back and forth as needed and further standardize our production platform. So where makeready issues continue to kill other printers on short-run jobs, with the Roland 700 we’ll be better positioned to bring more to our bottom line. It’s an ideal fit between our digital and conventional presses, and meets our expanding client base’s needs nicely.”
