The flexibility to handle short-run package
printing

promote their commitment to sustainability
through the UV LED option, while enablingthem to continue serving clients requiring traditional UV. Due to the complexities of integrating new equipment and diverse clientneeds, they chose a 790 model configured
with 7 color printing units plus a coating unit
able to handle both conventional UV andLED-UV varnishing, with 5 lamps for drying.
They have been able to migrate some of thejobs previously done in B1 format to thenewly introduced B2 format press from
RMGT. Sun Digital, which represents RMGT inMexico, provided timely professional support
during installation and commissioning of thepress, as well as training and supervision ofoperation and maintenance by D’ Ortega’ spersonnel.
The company is very satisfied with the excellent
quality of the printed products, which is reflectedin the high level of customer satisfaction. And
thanks to the press’ s advanced features, materi-Today ’ s printing market is increasingly
focused on short print runs with a greater
variety of artwork and graphics, leading toinefficient use of the B1 format’s printing area.
Based on its own research, D’ Ortega foundthat the 790 model format better accommodates the sizes and volumes that meet clients’requirements. The press also allows them toal waste is greatly reduced during setup andmakeready for the diverse range of jobs printed.
During the 790 model’ s first year of operation, more than a million sheets were printed
per month on average, and they are planningto migrate jobs from the B1 to B2 format tofurther improve production costs. D’ Ortega’s crew operates with two people per shift, as
opposed to the three previously required for
the B1 format.
The strategy for future growth includes
introducing a new RMGT 970 model
The company’ s experience thus far has beenso satisfactory that they have decided toacquire another RMGT machine, in the 970
format but with the same configuration ofheads, lamps, etc. to replace the older equipment in the plant. They expect that this next
step will reaffirm their decision to add the firstnew press as they continue replacing andexpanding the capacity of their facilities. The
move toward the 970 model was also basedon the company's own statistical data, as they
pursue the advantages of making maximum
use of printing formats. Moving forward, they
will continue to invest in new equipment toincrease production process automation,
focusing on improving both cost efficiency
and consistency of product quality.
