Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 102 Perfector helps Thomson-Shore cut costs and boost quality

Heidelberg SM 102Thomson-Shore, Inc., a book manufacturer located in Dexter, MI, has improved its capacity by 10% and reduced the number of shifts running 4-colour process work since the installation of the Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 102 6-colour perfector.

According to Carl Trisdale, press/prepress manager, the company’s average production speed has improved by 100%, along with its productivity on four-colour covers and jackets.

“Covers and jackets we used to run at 150 line screen we now run at 300 line screen and the colours just pop,” Trisdale said. “We’ve even fingerprinted our older press (a Speedmaster SM 74 perfector) to the new Speedmaster.” The company also has a 2-colour Speedmaster SM 102.

The Speedmaster’s mark-free perfecting is a big advantage, along with the seamless interaction of the Press Center console and non-stop Preset Plus feeder that adjusts automatically to format and printing stock, according to Trisdale.
