Press Work

At the heart of any print shop are its presses and its people. Our pressmen average 20 years experience in the printing industry. No matter what your design encompasses, Grit can print it efficiently and professionally.

The J Press Difference

Our newest addition is the J Press 750HS, the industry’s leading production inkjet sheet-fed press. The J Press 750HS doubles the output of letter size documents over the previous generations and is now the fastest, full color, B2 sheet-fed digital press on the market. Delivering a quality that is designed to take the very best of offset and the very best of digital and bring even more value by taking on more jobs and longer run lengths as a result of the increased level of productivity.

The J Press 750HS can handle variable data, with the press using a barcode system to guarantee front and back page matching. The barcode is printed in the non-image area of every sheet immediately after the paper leaves the input sheet stacker. The press reads the barcode on every sheet as it leaves the stacker and downloads the correct page information before it prints the second side. The benefits of this capability extend beyond the obvious application of variable data personalization. Jobs can also be printed ‘collated’ in page order to simplify and speed up the finishing process or improve the logistics for job distribution, making the production of versioned print jobs simple and straightforward.

What does this mean for you as a client? Here are some of the key highlights that this press can do!

• Variable data and personalization

• Maximum sheet size of 23" x 29.5"

• Faster Turnaround Times

• Ultra High Quality Printing

• Reproduces 90% of the Pantone library

• Collated Book Blocks

• Accurate sheet-to-sheet registration

• Elimination of plate production - saving you money

• Suitable for offset post-press enhancements

• No make readies

Looking for the Highest Quality and Color Accuracy?

Unlike web presses that deliver signatures at high rates of speed while sacrificing color matching, our sheet fed presses can give you the accurate color you expect. Our GATF certified pressmen check color throughout your entire print run, ensuring color consistency from start to finish.

High End Metallic Inks and Coatings without the High Price!

Spot color metallic inks, varnishes and coatings elevate brochures, catalogs and annual reports to a higher-perceived value. Grit’s 5-color Heidelberg 102 features a perfector and can coat or varnish your printed piece inline, without having to go back through the press – saving you time and money!

Regularly Scheduled Maintenance and Cleaning

Your print job deserves special handling and care. Our shop employees are trained to quality check your job from the time it enters our door till it is delivered to yours. We clean our presses and maintain them daily too. Why? Because we know that a clean shop means a shop that is safer for our employees to work in and better ensures you the best quality-produced print work.
