The Search for Happiness

An Unbeatable Combination: Heidelberg + VUTEk

Just how extensive is the market for wide-format graphics? Any printer can get an unscientific but persuasive answer simply by counting the billboards, posters, etc., that he or she sees every day on the drive from home to the plant. Banners, backlit signage, and other ubiquitous displays tell the same story-colorful, eye-catching output from wide-format inkjet devices is everywhere.    Read Full Story

A Gripping Issue

Note: this tip comes from the "Ask the Experts" section of Small Printing Solutions, an online resource from Heidelberg. For more information, please visit www.smallprintingsolutions.com
 
Question:  I have a 2.5 year old Printmaster QM 46-2. The first unit has a permanent water shock mark about 3" down from the gripper edge, running across the entire sheet left to right. Running a solid in this area shows a lighter excess water mark about 2mm or less in width. Nothing I have tried will eliminate the mark, including replacing all of the soft rubber dampening rollers. Do you have any suggestions to fix this problem? Learn More

5S in the Office - Much (Clean) Room for Improvement

This article has 483 words and a reading time of 4 minutes.
 
Did you know that in American offices, an average of 6 weeks per year - or 13% of a workday - are wasted simply by searching for items? Taking a workday of 7 hours per day and 232 working days a year, would result in 211 hours per person a year. Ultimately, assuming an average hourly rate of $60 an hour per person, results in a total of $12,600 a year in wasted time! Learn More
