Small- & Medium-Format Sheetfeds — Small Presses, Tall Orders

Looking to Lower Costs
Mike Grego, marketing manager for Sakurai USA, feels that printers are looking for any possible way to lower their manufacturing costs. For some printers this means converting from a two-up to a four-up press.

“Half-size printers are now very interested in 23x29˝ models because it bridges the gap between jobs that would normally print on either a half-size or a full-size press,” Grego explains. “The 23x29˝ size allows the smaller, half-size printer to be competitive against the larger, 40˝ printer. For the larger printer the same effect holds true. The 23x29˝ size offers many competitive advantages for jobs that are currently being printed on 40˝ presses.”
