New Press Installation!
Wow! Only two years after our last 6-color installation, we're installing another press to better serve our customers. And what a nice piece of equipment it is! Everyone is glad to see this arrival (except maybe the bindery). And we're gearing up to put it in full production.

Its a beautiful early Spring day in early March 2000 when the new press arrives on several flatbeds. Excitement is in the air and we can't wait to have this baby installed and running. The addition of this new press will allow us more flexibility and quicker turnarounds to better serve our customers.


The units are brought in on pallettes by fork lift and gingerly set in place with a hydraulic lift

The first unit is set in place and ready to go. Only 5 more are left.

Heidelberg's trained technicians have plenty of tools and it looks like they'll need them. There seems to be millions of parts everywhere. I hope there's nothing left over when they're finished.

What a job the Heidelberg guys are doing to assemble this great press. I'm glad its them and not me.

Wires pipes gears are everywhere. Its a giant jigsaw puzzle!

Lemesee! Lemesee! Paul Schmitz and Charlie M cAree are trying to get in the way but the Heidelberg guys have been trained to ignore them.

Our pressmen are at the helm and ready to produce our first job on the new press.

Wow! The first sheets are off the press and we have success! It took about two weeks and it seems like a miracle to get so many parts together to print high quality work.

The new touch screen allows the operator to quickly access much of the presses controls.

A few minor adjustments and we're cooking now!
