SENTINEL PRINTING CO. INSTALLS RYOBI FIVE-COLOR PRESS
With Upgrades, St. Cloud Printer Raises Cover Color Quality

St. Cloud, MN - Sentinel Printing Company, a high-quality book manufacturing and commercial printing operation located here, has installed a new Ryobi model 754 five-color press.

The Ryobi press, which perfects four-colors-over-one, prints up to 23” x 29” and enables Sentinel to perform more operations inline, such as applying aqueous coating. The press also includes an IR drying system, which reduces curing time for inks and results in faster project turnaround.

The Ryobi press is also CIP4 compatible, which further reduces turnaround and waste by accepting press settings automatically from prepress. This functionality decreases labor and product used during makeready and similar pre-production operations

Upgrading to the Ryobi press enables the company to not only deliver product faster, but with higher-quality results, according to Sentinel Printing Company President Chuck Manthey.

“This press improves our capabilities for color-critical projects,“ said Manthey. “We’re excited to be able to offer higher quality and faster turnarounds for our customers.”
