Oosterhout, November 2019
- A state-of-the-art, innovative cut-off control system that will continue to be supported in the coming years.
That is what Q.I. Press Controls (QIPC), the Dutch specialist for measurement
and control systems for the printing industry, supplies to the Swiss printing
company Centre d'Impression Lausanne, part of the Tamedia group. The printing
company had a cut-off control system from the press manufacturer, but this is
no longer supported.
Investing in the
future of print
The graphic
industry is still in full swing. Some parties are shifting their focus, others
are turning their backs on the industry and yet others are continuing to invest
heavily in innovation and development. QIPC's measurement and control systems
have more than proven their worth in terms of cost savings, efficiency and
quality improvements. "And we will continue to invest in the printing
industry in the future," said Harold Drinhuyzen, Area Sales Manager at
QIPC. "We believe in the future of print."
Total solution
Tamedia also
believes in the future of print and strives for a competitive and modern press
fleet. We have already invested in an IDS-3D color control system from QIPC.
Now it has been decided to add the mRC-3D cut-off control system to the
WIFAG OF371 press. Both systems will operate from the same desk. Jean-François
Ladret, Manager Press Department CIL Lausanne: "The QIPC offer was
attractive because of the total solution that integrates color management,
register, fan-out and cut-off control. The company also has a very good
reputation and we are familiar with their systems."
Support remains
There was some
urgency in the decision to invest in a new cut-off control system for Tamedia.
The original system of the press manufacturer is no longer supported.
"Printing companies that work with systems that are no longer supported
have a problem," says Harold Drinhuyzen. "Maybe not while the systems
are still running flawlessly, but when spare parts are needed or problems
occur. Therefore, users of such systems will have to look for alternatives. We
have a very competitive system which we will continue to support in the coming
years. This makes QIPC a very good alternative for printing companies that are
losing support for their press automation."
High customer
satisfaction
That is what
Tamedia thought as well. Thanks to QIPC's mRC-3D system, the Swiss media
group continues to meet the high quality requirements of its advertisers.
"With the support of QIPC, we expect to be able to improve and stabilize
our register, color and cut-off control quality at a higher level. Overall, we
expect a high level of customer satisfaction thanks to the overall improvements
to our systems."
