Get Your Rear (Workflow) in Gear
When digital print began making inroads into the offset world years ago, no one thought seriously that digital print might someday approach web offset printing speeds.
While continuous digital presses are a long way from the (close to) mile-a-minute of paper of the fastest offset web presses, they are closing in on the 1,000 feet-per-minute mark. This is creating an issue for the postpress equipment that accompanies the press. Much of the current crop of post-press unwinders, cutter, sheeters, and web perforation systems top out at around 600 feet-per-minute.
