What is the cost of installing a printing press?

The cost of installing a printing press depends on factors such as press size, site requirements, electrical setup, and alignment needs. Smaller presses may require minimal setup, while larger web or offset presses can involve complex rigging, calibration, and extended labor. A professional assessment ensures accurate cost estimates and reduces the risk of downtime.

How do you safely relocate a printing press?

Safe relocation involves a step-by-step process: dismantling the press, securing components, rigging for transport, shipping, and reassembly at the new location. Specialized equipment and experienced press movers are essential to prevent damage. Our team also handles electrical hookups and recalibration, ensuring your press is production-ready.

Why should I hire Pressroom Solutions for printing press installation?

Pressroom Solutions brings expertise in rigging, alignment, electrical integration, and calibration. A misaligned or improperly installed press can lead to costly breakdowns, wasted materials, and production delays. Hiring Pressroom Solutions guarantees your press is set up correctly, meets safety standards, and operates at peak efficiency from day one.

How long does it take to dismantle and move a printing press?

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the press. A small press might take only a day, while a large commercial or web press could require several days to dismantle, transport, and reinstall. A detailed project plan will give you a clear schedule and minimize downtime.

What steps are involved in printing press relocation?

A typical relocation includes:

Site survey and planning
Dismantling and labeling parts
Rigging and secure transport
Delivery and reassembly
Electrical hookup and calibration
Testing and production readiness

Working with a full-service provider, like Pressroom Solutions, ensures a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

How do you dispose of or recycle an old printing press?

Old presses can be sold, refurbished, or recycled for scrap metal. Pressroom Solutions offers decommissioning and recycling programs, handling dismantling, hauling, and environmentally responsible disposal. Partnering with a company that manages the full process saves time and ensures compliance with regulation.

What equipment is needed for printing press rigging and transport?

Rigging and moving presses typically require forklifts, cranes, hydraulic jacks, skates, and custom rigging gear. Transport involves flatbed trucks or specialized trailers. Pressroom Solutions uses the right equipment to handle heavy, delicate machinery safely and efficiently.

How do I prepare my facility for a new printing press installation?

Preparations my include:

Clearing floor space and access paths
Ensuring adequate power supply and ventilation
Leveling the floor for proper alignment
Confirming safety compliance and permits
Scheduling downtime to allow for installations and testing

Planning ahead reduces delays and ensures a smoother installation process.

What is the process for decommissioning a printing press during a plant closure?

Decommissioning involves safely shutting down the press, disconnecting utilities, dismantling, and removing machinery from the site. Depending on your needs, presses may be resold, relocated, or recycled. Pressroom Solutions also can assist with plant liquidation, auction support, and facility clearance, ensuring the closure is efficient and compliant.
