Five questions before you choose
- Monthly volume: how many impressions, colour and black, today and in 3 years?
- Media: heaviest paper weight, banners, envelopes or textured stock?
- Finishing: inline stapling, booklets, perfect binding or trimming?
- Colour accuracy: do you need consistent brand colour across runs?
- Workflow: which print server and job software do your designers use?
Why service matters more on a production press
A production press earns money every hour it runs. Choose a dealer with trained production technicians and fast response, and agree uptime and response times in the service agreement.
