Unimac Graphics -- Closing the Loop

It's hard to ignore the impact that the new Compacta 215 web press has had on Unimac Graphics—a $10 million spike in business, by Amann's estimate. Beyond that, the full-web press has given the company a high profile in an arena where it previously only boasted half-web printing capabilities.

"The press has been running for about a year now, and we're operating it five, six days a week," notes Steve Rickett, vice president and director of manufacturing. "Our level of work has required that. The press is a very quick makeready machine that allows us to be highly competitive in a very tight New York-area marketplace."
