Sheridan Pennsylvania Installs a Second Komori Lithrone GX840P+C Eight-Unit Perfecting Press

Nearly two years after Sheridan Pennsylvania installed its first Komori Lithrone GX840P Eight-Unit Perfecting Press (the first of that model to be installed in the world), the facility has added another.

The second press is virtually identical to the last (absent an extended delivery and coater), featuring LED curing, automated make-ready features, Artificial Intelligence software, and advanced ink management software integration. It is also equipped with the Print Quality Assessment System (PQA-S V5) option, which consists of high-speed cameras for inline quality monitoring. This provides enhanced registration and color control – constantly monitoring product quality for typical print variations or issues.

Having two powerful, intelligent presses at the Pennsylvania facility dramatically improves quality, performance, and capacity. Their highly automated efficiency contributes to Sheridan’s commitment to sustainability by significantly reducing waste and electrical consumption.

“Our corporate parent CJK Group, Inc. continues to afford us top-of-the-line equipment to deliver the highest quality output for our customers – while making the Sheridan name synonymous with print excellence. At this facility, we are very fortunate to operate not only the most technologically advanced sheetfed presses, but industry-leading inkjet presses as well, all complemented by state-of-the-art finishing systems”, commented Sheridan Senior Vice President of Operations, Paul Loy.

Sun Chemical and DIC Corporation to Globally Increase Prices on Color Materials Portfolio

Sun Chemical and the DIC Corporation will increase prices across select parts of its color materials portfolio, effective July 1, 2022 or as contracts allow. The price increase affects all market segments. Without signs of relief, the cost increase for key raw materials and packaging components as well as the inflationary pressure on manufacturing operations persist. Energy and logistics costs remain at historically high levels, and the uncertainties due to the Russia-Ukraine crisis and COVID-19 related lockdowns in China, are negatively affecting global value and supply chains. The ongoing escalations make it necessary for the company to increase prices for several product lines of its pigments, dyes and preparations portfolio. The price increases are in addition to those previously announced, including energy and transportation surcharges.
