The press is driven by the new Press Center XL featuring Intellistart 2 operating software, allowing for the “autonomous” processing of jobs at a speed of 18,000 sheets per hour.  

“AutoPlate Pro is a gift” states Tom Bennet, Special Projects Manager. “Agenda run lengths are 300 – 1500 per form, so we are performing up to 150 plate changes per day. Job changes on the 4P were as low as 1½ minutes.

They employ 80 full time staff and up to 120 part time staff joins in during agenda season. “Our motto is “Grow people and serve the Customer”. Premier Printing is a  manufacturer of school, college and university agendas, as well as general commercial printing. When “agenda” season hits, the plant must double production and meets stringent deadlines.They also have Heidelberg Speedmaster XL-106-10P, and a Speedmaster SM 74-8P+L.
