Abril Grafica, the largest Printer in Latin America believes in AVT and its
Products
Hod-Hasharon, Israel, August 29, 2011 - Abril Grafica, located in Sao
Paulo, Brazil, now has an AVT MicroColor remote ink control system and four
ColorQuick closed-loop color control systems installed on their publication
and commercial web offset presses.
MicroColor/Mercury is the next generation of remote ink control and
updates. It offers proven digital accuracy, consistent color quality and
dramatic make-ready time savings and delivers considerable waste
reductions. MicroColor has a new fully touch-screen control and a more
efficient graphical user interface. In addition the installed systems are
now updated to the newest ColorQuick/Clarios modules. This newest spectral
color control tool provides several new views of print conditions that help
printers react more quickly and correctly to print conditions as they arise
on high speed web offset presses. It also provides web offset printers with
an automated solution for closed-loop color measurement and control. The
system makes fast, automatic color moves during make-ready and maintains
tight control on color consistency during production.
Marcelo Tobo, Printing Manager at Abril Grafica in charge of the 24/7,
three shift printing department commented that 'Abril Grafica believes in
AVT and their products and they are pleased that they are working well.
This advanced automation allows our presses to work at faster speeds and
offer us the ability to take advantage of more opportunities'. Mr. Tobo
will be travelling to Drupa in Germany next year to continue his search for
printing solutions.
Amir Dekel, Vice President of Marketing for AVT, stated, 'Publication and
commercial printers like Abril Grafica now have AVT systems that provide
them with new levels of process control and automation solutions that drive
production excellence. These systems also help printers cope with today's
pressroom challenges that include both tough economic conditions --
with the rising costs of paper, ink and plates -- and more demanding
customers and end-users. These new generation systems allow shorter turn
around, faster press speeds and faster overall operation and a dramatically
increased ease-of-use. These added-value solutions and their resultant
quality and efficiency increases together with cost savings by achieving
30-50% faster make-readies and 10% waste reductions. The combination forms
the strong foundation for optimum web offset printing'.
Abril Grafica is considered the largest printer in Latin America by
production volume. With more than 1000 employees, they produce over 500
million copies each year of magazines, supplements, special editions and
catalogs. Besides printing the vast majority of Brazilian magazines, Abril
Grafica also produces books and tabloids for renowned companies. When
founded in 1950, the single magazine published and printed was Donald Duck.
In addition to their impressive bank of high speed web offset presses, they
are the only printer in Latin America to also employ the rotogravure
process for printing long-run publications.
Abril Grafica is a business unit of the family owned Grupo Abril who is one
of Latin America's largest and most influential media conglomerates. A
total of 7400 employees are actively engaged in magazine and textbook
publishing, online content and services, out-of-home services, broadband
internet, database marketing, broadcasting and pay TV.
Since many of Abril Grafica's customers are owned by the parent company,
their investments in color quality via AVT's solutions are driven by the
company's overall commitment to superior quality. Abril Grafica clearly
understand the benefits of color control are far reaching and benefit and
satisfy the complete customer chain including publishers, readers and
advertisers as well as the printer's bottom line via make-ready savings and
waste reduction.
Abril Grafica is but one of many success stories in Brazil. As the world's
fifth largest economy and the world's fifth largest population, they are
well positioned for continued growth. As the chosen venue of the 2014
Soccer World Cup and the 2016 location of the 2016 Summer Olympics, Brazil
is continuing its winning streak. With 60 years of success since Abril
Grafica first showed Donald Duck the way to Brazil, the company will
certainly have a prominent part in the excitement to come, as well.
