pP: What impact has servo technology had on the package-printing industry?

Mac Rosenbaum, vice president, Aquaflex—The speed and accuracy of servo-driven presses are making it possible to maintain margins while still satisfying customer demand for stabilized or reduced costs. Just as important, servo-based platforms enable greater "hands-off" operations, freeing operators to deal with the exception rather than the rule. In the long term, this means less dependency on craftsmanship and greater productivity per operator.
