Getting The Right Printing Press Installation Services For Your Shop

By Arthur Carter


There are many reasons why your press needs to be moved. The first time, of course, is when it is delivered. Other times could be the remodeling of your shop or moving it to another location. Each time your printing press is moved it must also be installed to ensure it is operating and can operate properly. This is critical. For all of these times, it is important to hire a company that provides the printing press installation services you need.

Locating the best company to do this work can be as easy as checking with the firm that sold you the press and or any of the many supplies you buy on a regular basis. They have a listing of those firms that work with their clients or they may actually offer it themselves. This can be beneficial as they know that press and want to provide continuing services to you.

One of the critical things about offset printing is the fountain. It is largely fed by gravity. This means the equipment must be level. This allows the water system to run properly. This is not achieved by simply letting the legs down to the appropriate position. It also involves the space around the machine and how much space is available.

The ink that you use is rather thick, however, it does run after it warms up. The need to keep it in the reservoir is important, so this also requires a level surface to stand the press. Each piece of printing equipment has its own peculiarities, so this is all taken into consideration when the install plan is devised.

Calling the installation professionals will set the stage for everything that comes next. They will come and inspect your site and the equipment. They will make sure you understand that a lot of space around the press will be needed for all of the supplies you have for your tasks. They will then get an approval of the plan they have laid out.

That plan will be to pick your equipment up at the store and bring it to you or move it from one area to another, often in another building. If they are to be moving it in their vehicle, it will have to be secured properly. The strapping must not bend or break anything attached to the machine. It must be tight but not tight enough for anything to become malformed.

If they will be moving it from one area of your shop to a newly remodeled one, the proper use of dollies and strapping will be employed as well. They will have as many people on hand to see that it is handled carefully. They should also know that setting your machine on anything that is unstable will not be a sustainable model for success for you.

What you can expect when you call on these professionals is a shop that is ready to go back to work as soon as they leave. They have everything they need to stabilize and install your press, so you can get your make ready available. That plate you just burnt can go on and, with an appropriate amount of ink, you are back to work.
