Pro Line breaks speed record on Goss C700i presses

Feb 13, 2008 2:19 PM

U.S. insert printer Pro Line Printing Inc. (Milpitas, CA) has set a record for productivity on Goss C700i insert presses. In one 12-hour shift, the company produced over two million impressions on two presses. Both are configured with the award-winning Goss DigiRail digital inking system, which replaces traditional "open fountain" ink delivery, reducing startup waste while delivering consistently high print quality. Steven Haire, vice president and GM of the Pro Line Reno, NV, Division, comments, "The technology that Goss Intl. (Bolingbrook, IL) has introduced to Pro Line has helped us to be even more efficient, provide better quality to our customers, and has instilled pride in our employees knowing that they are producing top quality products time and again."

Sitting side-by-side, one C700i press at Pro Line averaged 84,775 iph—a total of 1,017,300 impressions over the course of the shift—while the second press produced 1,003,332 impressions, including a version change, averaging a speed of 83,611 iph.

Haire comments, "To print over one million impressions on two presses on the same shift takes a high level of teamwork, not just from the press crews but from everyone involved. From accurate plates in prepress to the paper handlers and the packaging crews—it comes down to cooperation, training and determination to reach this level of efficiency."

Pro Line currently operates 19 Goss presses and specializes in producing newspaper inserts for major retailers in the United States.
