MBC--Small Printer, Big Performance

"The main reason we installed another T-head was because of the volume of two-color jobs," says Stromme. "The older T-head was always backed up with work, while our single-color press sat idle."

Stromme was impressed with many aspects of the new T-51. "I like the ability to raise and lower the image on the fly," he says. "If you have plate skew, you can change it without stopping by dialing in the correct register. Plus, the new T-head saves on makeready. Now, with run lengths getting shorter, I can save a lot on time and paper waste with 25 orders of 150 to 1,000 two-color runs. I might only waste five to 10 sheets with the new AE T-51 and save countless hours."
