Relocating an offset printing press? Keep this in mind.

We often get called after an offset press has been moved and it doesn’t perform the way it used to. Here are 3 things that make the difference:

  1. Dismantling: make sure every part is labelled, documented and prepared for transport.
  2. Loading & transport: offset presses require proper lifting points, balanced weight distribution and protection of sensitive components like rollers and electronics.
  3. Reinstallation: units need to be aligned and pressures set correctly to ensure consistent print quality from the first run.

So remember that this is not just moving a machine. It’s making sure it runs again, exactly as it should.
