Heidelberg Technologies Help Printers Get Ahead – from Prepress to Postpress and Beyond

Tour Golf, Inc. Achieves Hole in One with New Heidelberg Technologies
In the golf industry, like many other industries, print customers submit their orders urgently at the last minute. Tour Golf, Inc. made the wise business decision to bring its printing in-house to turn jobs around faster while enabling better control over quality. The Canton, GA golf wholesaler purchased a Prosetter P 52, Saphira Violet Plates, a PRO 68 plate processor, a 4-color Printmaster PM 52 press and a high-speed POLAR 78X cutter - all from Heidelberg. Owner Tom Eubank says the results so far are fantastic, the press gets up to color very quickly and everyone on his staff is happy. “Everyone’s stress level in the office has gone down,” he says. “Now they complain that I didn’t make the purchases sooner.” Customers are happy too. By keeping jobs in-house, shop turn-around times have gone from two to three weeks down to two to three days. Tour Golf, Inc. produces golf marketing booklets and scorecards for golf courses around the nation. The marketing booklets provide 3-D images of golf courses for players who are new to a course. Tour Golf, Inc. has been in business for 16 years and employs 17 people.
