US Ink Releases Press Doctor 2006
NEW YORK US Ink, Carlstadt, N.J., released an enhanced edition of Press
Doctor, its comprehensive trouble-shooting guide for coldset web
printers that is a part of US Ink’s RealColor program.
Press Doctor 2006 contains more than 1,000 pages of technical solutions
to “virtually every aspect of the printing process,” according to US
Ink. “We’ve taken the best of our research and technology, combined it
with the best practices of our customer base and created an interactive
CD that can make any pressroom run more smoothly and efficiently,”
Customer Service Director Dennis Cheeseman said in a statement,
New in Press Doctor 2006 are updates on technical topics, information
on ink mileage and high-strength inks, temperature control and input
for ink systems, the Specifications for Newsprint Advertising
Production (SNAP), technical tips for obtaining SNAP certification,
updated graphics, and hyperlinks.
Calling it “a proactive piece of software,” Cheeseman said Press Doctor
2006 “not only helps printers solve existing problems, but more
importantly, makes them aware of what can be done to prevent problems.”
Meeting advertisers’ and readers’ greater print-quality expectations
from printers with greatly increased color capacity “requires life-long
learning of evolving technology associated with coldset web printing,”
said Operations Vice President Larry Lepore.
