Precision Graphics of Oregon, a full-service commercial printing and packaging firm, has added a five-color Speedmaster XL 105 with aqueous coater to its all-Heidelberg pressroom lineup. The aim, said owner Ray Budd, is to step up Precision’s production capabilities in order to enlarge its footprint in the packaging market. In addition to doing to work of the three early 1990s-vintage 40˝ and 29˝ presses it replaced, the new press gives the 45-year-old, one-shift operation sufficient added capacity to bring on a second shift as job volume increases.

The company images Heidelberg Saphira Chemfree plates for the new XL and its other presses—a pair of six-color Speedmaster SM 102s—on a newly installed Suprasetter 105 platesetter with multiple cassette loader.
