Oosterhout, July 2016
– The Dutch specialist in
measurement and control equipment for the printing industry, Q.I. Press
Controls (QIPC), has received a new order from Omani Establishment for Press,
Printing, Publishing and Distribution L.L.C. in Oman.
QIPC will be responsible for installing an mRC-3D system for colour
register in its plant, based in the Omani capital of Muscat. Omani
Establishment decided to invest in colour register because it now wants to
focus its efforts increasingly on commercial products, alongside its
newspaper-printing activities.
Long-held desire
In total, Omani Establishment will be
acquiring 12 mRC-3D cameras, responsible for full automation of the
colour register. The cameras will be equipped with AIMS for the automatic
cleaning of the lenses. Everything will be installed on the Goss Magnum
printing press with six towers. “We recently had our press upgraded to six
heat-set webs”, explains M.C. Venugopal, manager at Omani Establishments. “We
were compelled to make the investment so that we could meet the needs of our
clients as well as retain our position as market leader in the region. A
reliable register control system was the next big thing on our shopping list.”
The mRC-3D system now enables Omani Establishments to supply a
much improved end-product and to reduce waste. At the
moment, the plant - whose publications include Oman’s largest Arabic-language
daily, Al Watan, and the country’s
leading English-language newspaper, Oman
Tribune - is experiencing problems with its register quality. On the back
of the quality improvements Omani Establishments will be making, thanks to
installation of the mRC-3D system, the business can now expect to have
more satisfied customers and to win more commercial contracts. “Newspaper
circulation is diminishing worldwide”, reports M.C. Venugopal. “The only
way to survive is to minimise waste and maximise quality. We’ve put our faith
in the mRC-3D achieving these objectives.” Omani Establishments
anticipates that it will be able to reduce its waste by as much as forty
percent with the mRC-3D. “The fact that colour register is a lot quicker,
as well as retain its quality during production means we can now achieve these
goals.”
Omani Establishments will also be benefitting from the Service Button
and the fact that the mRC-3D needs no interface and can operate fully
automatically. The Service Button allows the
possibility of remote service at any time of the day at the single push of a
button.
Faith
Through the mouthpiece of
its Head of Sales, Erwin van Rossem, QIPC has also responded enthusiastically
to the Omani order. “Despite this being the first order from Oman for Q.I.
Press Controls, the client has placed great faith in our solutions thanks to
high customer-satisfaction levels amongst other leading printers in the region.
This is apparent from the fact that they have already showed an interest in our
closed-loop colour control as part of their next project.”
