Woodruff Printing--Scaling New Heights With UV

Seeing Is Believing
Woodruff Printing has been able to see the results from its new UV web production by comparing several regular jobs that used to be done on sheetfed presses without UV. Woodruff recalls, "I remember a four-over-four piece—a direct mail brochure that we did for a video company. We started running the job on the new UV web press about 5 a.m. At 6 a.m., the press guys were cutting the first pallet of paper from the press. By 6:30, they were setting up the folder. When I came in at about 8 a.m., they had already had a third of the job folded, boxed, labeled and sitting ready to ship. When they finished the job, about 6 p.m., a truck picked it up and it was out of here. That same job would have taken 30 hours to print on our sheetfed presses, instead of eight hours with the Prime UV, plus cutting time and all the rest. It took one day instead of the usual four or five."
