SOLON, OH – August 5, 2024 – Graphco, a leading provider of offset, print finishing, and dimensional signage solutions in North America, announces their presence at PRINTING United on Sept 10-12, 2024, in Las Vegas. Spanning two booths, Graphco will have technology and live demonstrations for a series of solutions that will provide their customers with The Unfair Advantage^TM. PRINTING United Expo will be the largest print event in North America in 2024.

“Graphco’s theme for the show, The Unfair Advantage^TM, speaks to the unique value proposition we offer to a wide range of print and signage providers in North America,” states Chris Manley, President of Graphco. “We just celebrated 10 years representing RMGT, most recently as the exclusive Midwest & Southeast Distributor for the popular RMGT 970, 920, and 790 Series of sheetfed offset presses. Six years ago, we brought Foliant laminators to commercial printers in North America. At last year’s PRINTING United, we introduced a new player, SD-Italy, to the North American CNC Routing and Cutting market. This year, PRINTING United will be the North American launch of a new folding and gluing solution, Fold Stream, aimed at the digital print and converting market.”

Fold Stream

“We are proud to introduce a new product to the North American print market at PRINTING United,” states Manley. “Fold Stream is a cutting, creasing, folding and gluing system tailor made for the on demand digital printing segment.” Fold Stream is a scalable solution that bridges the gap in the digital print market by bringing together the benefits of rotary creasing and plough folding. This innovative system can accommodate multiple plough folds along with other applications such as gluing, micro-perforating, taping and labeling. “Visitors to our booth will see live demonstrations on how they can gain The Unfair Advantage^TM,” concludes Manley.

RMGT

“In 2024, we were pleased to introduce the RMGT 970PX, aimed at packaging printers,” states Derek Gordon, Regional Vice President, Sales at Graphco. The RMGT 970PX can print at 16,000 sheets per hour, accommodates 14pt to 31pt board, LED and Eco-UV curing, and utilizes a No-Touch Air Glide Transfer System. The RMGT 970PX comes with Autonomous Smart Assist Printing with Full-Sheet inspection along with a retractable coater as standard equipment. “By means of our technology demonstrations, we intend to highlight the benefits of shifting from a 40-inch substrate to a 38-inch substrate and highlight what two inches can mean for your business. A number of packaging converters will find that the RMGT 970PX will provide them with The Unfair Advantage^TM,” concludes Gordon.

SD-Italy

“SD-Italy provides the fastest, most precise, and most efficient CNC Routing & Cutting technology on the market,” states Gustavo Teixo, Regional Vice President, Sales for Graphco. “Every Print Provider from wide-format sign and graphics, display manufacturing, and short-run packaging providers will benefit greatly from this new technology.” In addition to the live demonstrations, visitors will be able to walk away with new ideas and an inspirational sample kit. New technologies that will be unveiled at PRINTING United involve welding capabilities that address a wider scope of needs for sign manufacturers and installers. “We will highlight a unique process that demonstrates why the SD-Italy Augusta F150R Pro is The Unfair Advantage^TM machine for heavy-duty signage applications,” concludes Teixo.

Foliant

“Laminated finishinghas many advantages in either a digital or offset print production,” states Gary Greis, Regional Vice President, Sales at Graphco. “Whether a packaging printer needs a high-quality and fast solution for high-end folding cartons in the 8-up format, or if a book printer is looking for a fast and consistent book cover solution, Graphco provides them with The Unfair Advantage^TM.” Foliant is the leading brand in both single- and dual-side laminating, offering the most complete range of laminating machines on the market.   

“The Unfair Advantage^TM has been an underpinning concept for Graphco since my father founded the company 48 years ago in 1976,” concludes Manley. “In that tradition, Graphco will continue to bring the most complete line of solutions for the printing industry.” Graphco will be exhibiting in the Central Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center in adjacent booths #C2351 and #C2455.
