When it expanded into smaller format digital printing in 2017, STG procured a machine from a various company and speedily realized that “the technological innovation was just far too messy and expensive for us to run successfully,” explained Owner John Ioannides. Obtaining hardly ever acquired from Heidelberg in the earlier, Ioannides discovered about the Versafire EP from the company tech for a further 1 of the company’s machines. He then begun conversing to other printers about their encounter with Versafire and quickly established-up a demonstration at Heidelberg’s Print Media Center Atlanta in Kennesaw, Ga. “So several times, you can listen to ‘pie in the sky’ information and facts about a machine when being marketed on it. Heidelberg was authentic with us. Just after observing that, the way the Versafire operates and the kind of resources you can run by way of it – it was a no-brainer,” said Ioannides.
As a trade printer, STG runs a variety of components that other printers are not capable to create by themselves. With the expanded inventory variety of the Versafire EP, STG can operate stocks as thin as 35 lb. text up to thicker 24 pt. in addition to a range of synthetics, which is very important to the signage organization. “This machine runs a very similar vary of components as our former device,” Ioannides reported, “but the Versafire is just so substantially less complicated and cleaner to run.” With quite a few staff members performing remotely because of to the pandemic and now with providers battling to obtain workers to perform, STG has trusted the simple-to-use and dependable Versafire EP to deliver employment successfully and successfully.

The equipment is so steady I never require another person there though a position is working. It’s excellent!”

With its prior equipment, STG had to pay out each individual month just to have it on the floor. “Our business enterprise is extremely cyclical, so there are times through the year when we are not managing the machine,” explained Ioannides. “With Versafire, we’re only spending when we run it.”
With no other Heidelberg machines in its store, STG is amongst a lot of “non-traditional” clients that are deciding upon Heidelberg for electronic. Even though the Versafire by itself has proven to be profitable for STG, the overall “Heidelberg experience” has exceeded the company’s anticipations. In particular, Ioannides has been amazed with the “above and beyond” level of aid that his company has gained from Heidelberg immediately after the sale. “We’re a tiny company, so we’re under no circumstances heading to be 1 of Heidelberg’s biggest consumers and still, if I have a question or want to try out a new application, I make just one telephone simply call, and somebody is there to help us out.”
