The offset printing sector includes companies that produce large quantities of products. Offset printing is different, using different machines and is used by large companies, as web offset and small businesses as, offset in sheet. These are businesses that produce books, directories, catalogs and magazines that by their nature, tend to be printed in large quantities, generally varying between 10 000 and 300 000 copies. As a result of more frequent publication of not printed, but online products these developments have unpleasant consequences on the rotary offset.
In the past, any big publisher had their own printing presses that printed their publications. In the past decade, many of them have sold these assets and focused on their main activities. Currently, very few publishers still have their own printing house. Moreover, sometimes, with the help of brokers, they entrust their printing activities to the printing house offering the lowest price, and this trend is reflected into additional pressure on the printing business, imposing cost reduction.
Perhaps taking into account the cost reductions would be a good reason to invest in used web presses rather than new. By acquiring a used web press a printer increases substantial profitability at a low cost but also allows the final product to be run with more efficiency. It is also a great way to avoid depreciation vs. purchasing a new web press.
