STEC ready for additional jobs with Performance Package from QIPC-EAE

Oosterhout, April 2020 - The Roman printshop of Società Tipografico Editrice Capitolina (STEC) is preparing for the extra orders she has received. The Performance Package from Q.I. Press Controls – Engineering Automation Electronics (QIPC-EAE) will ensure that the Goss Uniliner press, which will be in extra demand, will perform according to the standards that apply in the printing industry today. 

In this period the STEC printshop in Rome is expanding its production. "We are very proud to have earned the trust of new partners who rely on us for their production," says STEC Director Alberto Vescovi. In bringing in that extra production, Alberto Vescovi saw the perfect motivation to invest in his printing facility again: "We want to make sure that we can deliver a printed product of the highest quality as efficiently as possible. We have had good experiences working with QIPC-EAE in our print shop in Monza and know what their systems can do for a press. That's why we came to them to upgrade this press in Rome".

The Goss Uniliner in Rome consists of 7 towers and a folder its now fully upgraded with a Performance Package from QIPC-EAE. The Performance Package consists of 14 mRC-3D cameras of QIPC for colour register and again 14 mRC-3D cameras for controlling cut-off and sidelay register. It also includes hardware and software upgrades by means of a new interface and a retrofit of the EAE INFO system. STEC thus takes full advantage of the fact that EAE falls under a holding company with QIPC. "The Performance Package provides our customers with synergy benefits," says QIPC's Area Sales Manager Harold Drinhuyzen. "Not only do they benefit from attractive conditions, but they also have the advantage of a single point of contact for both companies".

The new hardware and software on the Goss Uniliner will make the press work more efficiently, with less waste and with an end product that is more consistent and of higher quality. Agent GMDE played an important role in finding the right solution for both STEC and QIPC-EAE. "Thanks to GMDE, we have found the product package that fits exactly what we need now," says Alberto Vescovi. "We have good relationships with both QIPC-EAE and GDME. Given the extra production and the cooperation with these partners, we look to the future with great confidence".
