PCMC develops SteadyPrint

SteadyPrint enhances the design of mechanical elements to minimize the effects of forces experienced during printing. The technology monitors and reduces bounce in real time, reduces press vibration and noise, and allows printing through speed ranges without changing impression.

SteadyPrint helps to mitigate the challenges of bounce and further enhance the Fusion’s ability to produce high-quality output through a wide speed range.

Dave Wall, PCMC’s printing, coating and laminating value stream leader, said: ‘Printers have historically faced challenges with printing certain bounce-causing attributes of brand images. Through a complete review of mechanical and controls design, the team has developed a design package that will help to mitigate those challenges.’

Rodney Pennings, printing, coating and laminating sales director at PCMC, added: ‘PCMC always takes the time to listen to and learn from the industry and our customers. This new technology is something that our customers were telling us was a need. We’re excited to be able to offer this addition to our presses.’

SteadyPrint will be a standard feature on all Fusion presses moving forward.
