According to company vice president Robert Blackorbay, the new press will enable the company to run lighter-weight stocks from 27 lb. on up at significantly faster perfecting speeds and with less waste, thanks to quicker wash-ups and faster makeready times. The icing on the cake, added Blackorbay, is the three-year Systemservice36plus service package it received with the purchase, especially the time- and cost-saving benefits of Heidelberg’s web-based Remote Service.

“Heidelberg continues to be a valuable partner and a key source of support for Chippewa Graphics,” Blackorbay said. The company operates a raft of Heidelberg equipment, including a 6-color perfector w/inline coater Speedmaster SM 74, 4-Stahlfolders 30” to miniature, and a POLAR 92EMC cutter with jogger. Heidelberg’s Saphira blankets and chemistry help Chippewa’s pressroom run clean and green.

Established in 1981 and with 45 employees, third- generation family owned and operated Chippewa Graphics serves a primarily local clientele, but also ships to customers located as far away as Mexico, Canada, England, France and Germany. The ambitious, G7-certified Master Printer specializes in all types and quantities of multi-color printing, with capabilities that extend from design to fulfillment.
