Providing the most efficient solution to a
customer’s needs has been the backbone of the history and growth of Stephenson
Printing. Making sure your project is printed on the right size and type of
press is one of the most important
aspects of your job as a print buyer. Thousands
upon thousands of dollars can be wasted simply by not knowing the difference
between digital, sheetfed, half-size web and full-size web presses and, as a
result, choosing a printer that doesn’t have the right press or finishing
equipment for your job. At
Stephenson Printing, you’ll find the right equipment. Whether it’s a quick turnaround
press run of a few hundred, a longer press run of a million or somewhere in between, Stephenson Printing has the
perfect solution for you. For 24-48 hour quick-turnaround press runs under 1,000 copies, Stephenson’s digital presses are ideal. Unlike many digital presses, Stephenson’s digital presses are capable of not only printing typical digital flat products such as cards, flyers, letters, and posters but also printing multiple-page products such as brochures, booklets and newsletters. By taking advantage of the added capability of these presses to vary the data as they are printing, you can target specific individuals or groups by having the presses change out text and/or images on each or as many pieces as you wish (and with no traditional plate changes as you would need on a sheetfed press). Truly exciting, however, is the fact these presses can also address each piece while printing, thereby allowing the finished pieces to go directly from the press to the post office! From 1,000 to approximately 10,000 copies of a multi-page product or 100,000 copies of a flat product, Stephenson’s sheetfed presses more than likely will be the best choice for you. Printing anywhere from one to eight colors inline with the option for varnish or aqueous coating, Stephenson’s presses are the workhorses of the industry. Able to print flat sheets up to 26” x 40” and paper weighing up to 140 lbs. or more, these high-speed presses can accommodate an extremely wide variety of products. If your product is multi-page and over 10,000 copies, however, web presses are the key. With the ability to print up to 8 million letters, sell sheets or inserts and 3 million 16-page signatures a day, Stephenson’s full-size web presses can save you thousands of dollars simply by moving your product from a sheetfed or half-size web press to a full-size web press. While sheetfed presses are the workhorses of commercial printing and half-web presses are fine for 4 or 8 page products, they simply cannot compete with the production power of a full-web press. Full-web presses can print not only 4, 8, 12, 16, 24 or 32 pages at a time but also flat products such as broadsides, maps and posters that may or may not be folded. In our business, time is money; therefore, the time saved printing on a full-web press can quickly translate into major cost savings for you. Making sure your job is not only estimated but produced on the right press and in the most time and cost efficient way possible is just part of the value you’ll find when working with Stephenson Printing. You’ll have the support of an extremely up-to-date prepress department, an expansive finishing department, a mailing department with inside-outside inkjetting, polybagging and more. Perhaps even more importantly, you'll have a highly trained, knowledgeable and skilled staff of employees dedicated to helping you find the right solution for your needs – the first time and every time. |
