Quad/Graphics — Finishing First

According to Paschall, the unit's speed may be the initial attention grabber, but users soon find it has much more to offer.

"Its speed catches everyone's eye at first, but then they realize it's not only high speed but convenient format changes," Paschall stresses. "You've taken a product standing still to a 40,000 per hour maximum speed and still know where the custody of each specific signature is. Quad is also very happy about the trim drum because it provides a shear cut on all three sides. And their help with the design changes produced higher net speeds, and the format size changes in minutes. Maintenance is greatly reduced from the original version."
