RMGT has announced the sale and successful installation of several machines in the US and China.
The company recently completed a successful installation of its 1060TP-8 printing press in China to Zhong Mei Printing Co based in Beijing.
After learning about the strong reputation of the RMGT TP series, widely installed across various regions in China, the company became interested in the technology.
Impressed by its production efficiency and proven nationwide performance, Zhong Mei made the decision to invest in the TP press. RMGT says, “We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our sales agent in China, Beijing Jia He Ding Xin Technology & Business Co, for their dedicated efforts in promoting our products.
“At RMGT, we are committed to providing a diverse range of high-quality printing machines and services, including our TP series, which meets the growing demand for double-sided printing. Through our domestic and international service networks, we will continue to support our customers with cutting-edge solutions.”
LED-UV curing
Florida-based DPS (Digital Printing Solutions) recently installed an 8-UP RMGT 920PF-8+LED eight-colour long perfector, supplied via US distributor Graphco.
A key highlight of the installation, the press’s advanced LED-UV Curing Technology, has taken DPS’s printing operations to a new level. The full sized eight-up press has proven its value, enabling high speed, high quality production for the company’s busy political direct mail season.
The firm recently printed 286,000 mailers within two days of receiving the artwork. Terry Sutton, owner of DPS, says, “Our new press makes high-volume, fast-turnaround work possible, and LED-UV instant-curing technology is one big reason.”
RMGT LED curing technology ensures printed materials are immediately dry and ready for the next production step, significantly speeding up workflow. LED inks have further optimised DPS’s production efficiency. Terry says, “Not having the printed product sit to dry is essential to keeping work flowing smoothly through the plant.”
In the past, DPS often used aqueous coating to expedite drying, even at additional cost. Now, LED curing eliminates the need for such measures while delivering superior results.
Chris Manley, president of Graphco, says, “LED inks are 8-10 per cent glossier than traditional oil-based CMYK inks. Sheets coming off DPS’s new RMGT press almost have a sheen comparable to aqueous coating, without the energy-intensive drying process”.
Graphco also installed a full size 8-up RMGT 970PF-4 to Michigan-based Quick Reliable Printing (QRP).
QRP serves clients across diverse sectors, including education, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and non-profits. This advanced piece of equipment represents a significant technological upgrade, replacing legacy sheetfed offset presses that had faithfully served for two decades.
Hal Grunwell, a solutions specialist at QRP, says, “We realised we were relying on outdated technology, operating an ‘ancient’ press that lacked many of the automation tools available today.”
He cites the QRP team’s enthusiasm for the new press, particularly its advanced features, such as automated ink management and skid loading. Among the most impactful innovations during the first four months of operation have been the LED-UV lamps. Hal says, “The automation is impressive, but the instant curing of UV ink with LED-UV curing has been outstanding.”
The RMGT 970PF-4 press significantly enhances productivity with a running speed of 16,000 sheets per hour and 30 per cent faster makeready times. Hal says, “We achieve optimal colour much more quickly now.”
In addition, G7 compliance ensures consistent colour matching with reduced paper waste.
The press’s ability to ‘learn’ during colour calibration has been particularly noteworthy. Additionally, the automatic skid-loading system streamlines workflow, enabling faster paper handling. He adds, “We can flip and feed paper much more efficiently.”
RMGT is available in Australia and New Zealand through Cyber.
