Walsh Colour Print Adopted Technotrans
Walsh Colour Print has adopted Technocrats peripherals to have more control while they are switching to H-UV technology.
“We have used Technotrans from day one and have always found the equipment reliable,” says managing director, Tony Walsh.

He continues: “With the move to H-UV the process control must be spot on so, although we have no issues with our water, we want to ensure the hardness and pH is exactly right.
“Filtration of the dampening will help in this respect, too, but the primary reason behind this purchase is the saving in chemistry costs. We believe we will cut our chemistry bill by 60% with the beta.f.”
The company has been using Technotrans’ temperature control technology from the beginning. Now the company is being installing water treatment, filtration systems and dampening solution filtration. It has been a great addition to the company’s resources and also it shows company’s great reliance on Technotrans’ peripherals.

He further added He continues: “Through certified, industry standard JDF connectivity, Apogee users can select from the wide choice of Fiery Driven digital presses to establish easy and quick ways to direct jobs to the most appropriate print devices for the best production scenario.”
One company already taking advantage of the Fiery/Apogee integration is Hakan Walhed, general manager of Malmö at Sweden-based printing company Skånetryck, saying: “We save up to two hours on busy days.
“Plus, the consistent prepress workflow between offset and digital presses with Apogee and Fiery integration helps Skånetryck’s operators achieve a close match in colour quality with minimum training.”
“Within Agfa’s large Apogee installed base, there are also a large number of Fiery Driven digital presses from all of the leading digital press manufacturers,” said Toby Weiss, senior vice president and general manager, EFI Fiery. “This integration will enable those organizations to streamline their workflow even more, taking time and touches out of the process for a more cost-efficient operation, critical in today’s fast-paced and highly competitive printing environment.”

Here at this event, trade journalists, different manufacturers and renowned printers participated. There were discussions amongst participants on the challenges printing industry is facing and effects of Brexit were also discussed.
Lord Blunkett the printing charity’s president for 2016 and the guest speaker for this year, says: “The industry has grown beyond recognition since the charity was set up in 1827, but its work is as important today as it was then. Its welfare support for people in the industry and focus on championing new talent in a sector that continues to innovate are vitally important.”
The charity’s major focus is to help people who are already working or want to join the printing industry. It works for the education and welfare of professionals.
Jon Wright, the chairman of the charity expressed that if this charity was not founded, he would never be there at the annual event addressing people.

The managing director of Lithgo, Mike Atkinson, said: “We also have a Heidelberg ST300 but with both systems we can now choose quite late in the day which one to use. As the StitchLiner is quick and easy to set up it is perfect for short runs but its quality and robustness means it can also handle longer runs too.
“We liked the StitchLiner because it takes sheets that were planned in a such a way that they could be traditionally folded. That means we can plan work with traditionally folded sections. We looked at other solutions but they didn’t do that.”
