Speedmaster SX 52-4. Maximum efficiency, productivity, and economy – with consistently lower costs.
Outstanding print quality combined with high speeds, minimal paper waste, and fast makeready times – Mohammad Al-Badaineh is more than happy with his Speedmaster SX 52 four-color press. “It will enable us to further drive the growth of Color Corner Press. In the long term, we plan to completely cover the south of Jordan and the northern parts of Saudi Arabia.” The new Speedmaster SX 52 brings a significant jump in performance. The average run length is 5,000 sheets. “The printing press is in use for around six hours every day. Since our production schedule is based on single-shift operation, makeready times of less than 15 minutes mean that we can handle up to six job changes a day. On average, we therefore need an hour for each job, calculated for a mean run length of 10,000 sheets per job,” says Mohammad Al-Badaineh. The company record: large jobs consisting of 100,000 sheets with four plate changes can be completed in less than nine hours.
Color Corner Press specializes in outdoor and printing advertising for corporations, hotels, government agencies, supermarkets, and shopping centers. The company, based in the port city of Akabar on the Red Sea, covers the entire supply chain from design and layout to printing, finishing, and signage. But that wasn’t always the case. Founded in 1995, for a long time Color Corner Press had its printed products produced in the capital Amman, around 400 kilometers to the north. Since 2013, Color Corner Press has been producing its own products in offset quality on a number of GTO printing presses. Today, the company employs twenty people in the advertising division and ten in the print shop.
“I only recommend Heidelberg,” explains Mohammad Al-Badaineh. Because it’s not just the Speedmaster SX 52 that has proven its reliability, productivity, and profitability. The overall package is impressive. “We use Saphira consumables, whose high quality provides another guarantee of reliably high performance. And we can rely on the support of the Heidelberg Service customer care in the form of the exclusive representative Graphic Supplies Company at all times.
