Sheetfed Presses--Getting Connected

Although time savings will be affected by the condition of the equipment, skill of the operator and other factors, experience shows that printers can use remote ink control to achieve time savings of 30 percent to 50 percent. For example, if makeready takes 15 minutes per fountain, a printer doing four makereadies per day on a four-color sheetfed press should save 28 hours per month. Six makereadies per day could save more than 42 hours per month.
