Are you considering investing in a new printing press in 2020? Quality is absolutely vital. However, for us it is also about care, support, investment and expertise. Here’s how and why:

A printing press, like any machinery, requires regular maintenance in order to keep it performing to an optimum level. Keeping your printing press well maintained doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg. By following a few simple guidelines you can minimise your lifetime printing press repair bill and keep it operating at maximum efficiency. Keeping your printing press clean and well lubricated is the very basic maintenance activity that should be done in-house on a regular basis. Spotting potential running issues is a skill that requires all your senses. Listening for damaged bearings, gears, a vibration, a mark or line in the print, an unusual sound may indicate a potential issue just around the corner. If unsure, Contact the manufacturer, they may know exactly what the issue is. At Focus, we have decades of experience and can diagnose most problems quickly, helping you to get back up and running in no time.
