We had heard a rumour from a printing consumables supplier in Switzerland that one of our specialist blanket packings, which performs fantastically on all presses, performs exceptionally well on the SM52. Finito packings replace traditional underblankets and calibrated papers with an exclusive innovative material. Whilst they are more expensive than traditional packings, the initial extra cost is a smart investment over a period of time as they last much longer than alternative packings and due to their unique structure are able to protect the printing blanket when smashes occur. In addition, they are much easier to fix, remove and replace than other packings too. Available in different thicknesses, in self-adhesive and non-adhesive, printers already using Finito are experiencing significant results. As we had not been previously aware of Finito’s exceptional performance on the SM52, we thought we should check it out for ourselves. We looked at our sales history and noticed that some of our SM52 customers weren’t ordering to replace their Finito for up to 2 years at a time. Of course, we had to consider that it might be that they were buying another product elsewhere so we got in touch with them and asked them and it turns out that the rumour was true.
