Ripon Community Printers -- A Heat Wave

PI: Was there a learning curve involved?

Darnick: Certainly, the whole heatset experience. It's an entirely new process for us. It's still ink on paper, but totally different from what we have been producing for the past 40 years. Russ Welch (first shift web press supervisor and press installation supervisor) and press manager Tom Konecny set up an in-depth training program. Our web press supervisors and press personnel invested many weeks of training on the Rotoman along with the various auxiliary and consumable vendors, learning the equipment and heatset process to give us the best opportunity to succeed. We have an enthusiastic group of people now working on this pressline.
