TREND OFFSET PRINTING -- An Upward Trend

In the Florida facility, an eight-unit Heidelberg M-600 web press equipped with Autoplate and Quad/Tech International (QTI) closed-loop color control, and a 12-unit Heidelberg V-30 coldset press highlighted the startup.

Nelson notes that Trend Offset was one of the first companies to embrace QTI's closed-loop technology. "We went through a thorough evaluation of their system," he says. "There were various players in the market and we had other peripheral equipment we were utilizing in our plants that came from QTI, so it was natural for us to go with them. That's been a real positive relationship for us."
