Speedmaster SM 52 - Pacem Druck OHG
01/11/2012
In 2010, Cologne-based commercial print shop Pacem Druck
invested in a Speedmaster SM 52-5-P+L with coating unit and short
high-pile delivery. This investment helped massively reduce the
print shop's production and makeready times.
"Investing in the Speedmaster SM 52-5P+L enables Pacem Druck to go
on meeting the changing market requirements", says Managing
Director Christian Reichmann. "It is very important to us that we
can deliver maximum quality as quickly as possible - and the
decision to invest in a coating unit enabled us to improve the
quality and massively reduce production times."
Pacem Druck is a conventional commercial print shop with a
regional customer base. It offers a wide-ranging product portfolio
- from business cards to books. "What the customer wants, the
customer gets," says Reichmann. "This is no problem at all thanks
to the flexibility of the Speedmaster SM 52. There's no better
press in this format range." The print shop aims to set itself
apart from its rivals, above all by offering its customers advice
from the original idea right through to the finished product. It
goes without saying that short delivery times and adherence to
deadlines are part of the service.
The company's workforce of 12 employees produces around 1,200
jobs a year for some 250 customers. Job sizes vary from short runs
up to several hundreds of thousand prints. In addition to the
SM52-5-P+L with perfecting device and coating system, the
pressroom's machine park also includes a Printmaster GTO 52-1 and
an MO-E. The print shop also features prepress equipment from
Heidelberg as well as a Polar cutter, a folding machine, and a
gathering machine in postpress.
"Using Saphira consumables means that print products can go
directly to postpress with no delays. Our makeready times have also
been halved since Prinect Prepress Interface enabled us to adopt
color presettings from prepress. The AxisControl color measuring
system has significantly improved the stability of our production
quality. The SM 52 has boosted our efficiency considerably and thus
enabled us to keep costs at a manageable level despite rising raw
material prices."
The Speedmaster SM 52 with coating unit and short high-pile
delivery is the ideal entry-level coating solution for small and
medium-sized print shops in particular. Companies can enhance their
added value through additional coating applications and get to the
postpress stage faster. As the high-pile delivery is more than 80
cm shorter, it enables more efficient use of the available space
and is the perfect compact coating solution for print shops with a
limited amount of space. What's more, the efficient
round-nozzle technology of the DryStar Coating system in
conjunction with hot-air technology ensures more effective drying,
while also consuming less power.
