CJK Group Invests in Sheridan Printing Facilities With Multiple New Equipment Purchases at Several Plants (piworld.com)

Sheridan’s parent company, CJK Group, has approved several new equipment acquisitions for the Sheridan facilities, bringing even more state-of-the-art capabilities to five of its nine locations.

The Sheridan Pennsylvania facility will install an HP T250 Series PageWide Inkjet Web Press equipped with an in-line Magnum Finishing Line, and will implement an upgrade of two HP T240 Series PageWide Inkjet Web Presses to the T250 format with the new T250 Core, Vision System, and DFE – all planned for this fall. In addition, a Muller Martini Infinitrim Three-Knife Trimmer will be integrated with an existing Vareo Perfect Binder, resulting in the most efficient means of binding and trimming ultrashort-run books down to a quantity of one. That installation is slated for this summer.

The Sheridan Kentucky and Sheridan Michigan plants will each implement an HP DFE Base and Vision System Upgrade to their HP Series PageWide Inkjet Web Presses (HP T400 Series in Kentucky and HP T300 Series in Michigan).

The Sheridan Wisconsin facility will add to its digital fleet with the installation of a new HP Indigo 12000 Sheetfed Toner Press this spring.

EFI Completes Life Cycle Assessment for Nozomi Digital Direct-to-Corrugated Printer

Electronics For Imaging, Inc., today reported it has completed a life cycle assessment (LCA) of Nozomi single-pass digital print technology in partnership with award-winning sustainability consulting firm Clean Agency. Through this initiative, Clean Agency also developed an LCA tool that EFI™ customers and their customers – such as brands, retailers, and 3PLs – can use to analyze their CO2 equivalent (CO2e) emissions as part of their overall packaging extended producer responsibility (EPR): the environmental impact of their products, even after their useful life has ended. According to the LCA, printing corrugated materials on an EFI Nozomi digital press reduces global warming potential (GWP) by approximately 50% when compared to analog printing technologies. “No printing plates, less energy, less waste, and just-intime (JIT) manufacturing all contribute to CO2e reductions for corrugated printing on EFI’s Nozomi digital press,” says Seri McClendon, CEO of Clean Agency.

Capacity issues at the two largest printing companies are among the factors creating havoc for authors and publishers.

They postponed the publication of dozens of titles, betting that things would be back to normal by the fall. Now, with September approaching, things are far from normal. Books that were bumped from spring and early summer are landing all at once, colliding with long-planned fall releases and making this one of the most crowded fall publishing seasons ever. And now publishers are confronting a new hurdle: how to print all those books. read more at: https://www-nytimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/08/27/books/printing-companies-backlog-book-publishing.amp.html
