At Advance Printing we use Heidelberg printing presses. We are currently updating our presses to take advantage of the newer technology. Features such as Autoplate, when combined with CTP & in-line punching, reduce make-ready times and improves the overall fit of jobs. We also use chillers to control roller and ink temperatures which helps to stabilize the printing characteristics of the press. CIP3 data is also used to pre-set the ink fountains which drastically saves make-ready times and gets the press to within about 90% of color 1st pull. We also utilize Lithotel software & hardware to automatically measure & adjust colour. Many of our presses perfect (print 2 sides in 1 pass) in various configurations allowing us to complete many of our jobs in 1 pass. This cuts the drying time in 1/2 and allows us to get the job out the door quicker. We have a very diverse selection of presses able to meet the most demanding needs. We now have a total of 31 printing units on 9 presses.
