Supermarket regulars will be very aware of the buy one get one free offer – two products for the price of one. What could be better? The printer that survives the current pandemic might need to look at such a deal from a different angle: one press for significantly less than the price of two!
A number of quality print company’s are already reaping the rewards from such an approach. A great many more printers will need to examine this option as the most sensible way forward.
Those that are able to do so could re-establish a profitable business well ahead of the pack. Why? Five specific areas will allow them to produce much more effective and affordable print from one single litho press. Let’s examine them:
Reliability
One critical aspect of reducing from two presses to one is the reliability of the machine. Current RMGT press users can already testify as to what that means. These machines are designed and built to run. First time users are astounded at how little they need to spend on service, support, and spares. Reliability is built in to RMGT presses. Machines are designed and built to the same standard, and with the same know-how, as a Mitsubishi aircraft – and air travel is an industry where failure is simply not an option [see photo above: in case you were not aware, Mitsubishi is the M in RMGT!].
Print Performance
The quality of the printed sheet will be, as always, essential. Printers looking to re-establish a business in the new world cannot afford to produce anything less than perfect print. RMGT gives you that quality. In addition to providing tools for print perfection, the addition of LED-UV instant drying aids the performance of the press by speeding work through the factory – back-up instantly with no drying time, and get the work to the finishing department with no work-in-progress sitting around to dry. Our “Digital Extra” focus provides litho equipment that can deliver that dry-to-the-touch sheet to match that of digital printing equipment, bringing litho performance and digital delivery together for medium run profitability.
Low Cost of Ownership
Control of overheads will be critical in the new world. RMGT presses offer that through minimal downtime and market-leading low service costs. Add those together and you have the highest uptime – printing time – of any press in the industry today. Ask any owner of a German press what they pay for a service contract and you will immediately see what we mean!
Cost of Labour
Quality labour will still be a significant part of a company’s cost. In the new world there may be a reduction in the available skills, further escalating the cost. By reducing the litho department to just one operational press printers are cutting costly staffing issues and getting the most out of the most expensive assets.
Automation
The high level of automation on the latest RMGT presses helps a print business to speed work through the press hall, assisting in faster make-ready, meaning the machine is swiftly into saleable quality sheets. A range of automatic features are supplied as standard and can further enhance productivity, and make the most of the company’s key assets.
The new post-virus world will present challenges to all businesses. A printing company needs to arm itself with the best tools to produce work swiftly and cost effectively. RMGT is with you all the way to help deliver the profitable print business of the future.
