to last sheet. This press---its fourth from Koenig & Bauer--- has integrated inline color control and inspection systems along with a host of reporting technologies to monitor and manage every sheet throughout the press run. It is config- ured as a seven-color model, which allows for expanded color gamut, custom brand colors, and enhanced photo- graphic images. Its clients, such as name brands in the food industry, expect their products to match box-to-box on the retail shelf and look enticing to consumers. Brand owners and print buyers are also drawn to Supe- rior due to its G7 Master Certification. Achieving G7 Master Printer status means that Superior’s staff, equipment, and systems have passed rigorous testing required to manage the neutral gray scale which ultimately can improve print quality and consistency, shorten makeready time, and re- duce paper and ink costs. Sustainability is another area in which Superior places high importance. To be known as one of the greenest com- panies in the country, Superior’s facility is powered by the sun with 1,366 individual panels that cover over an acre of its roof and is one of the largest solar arrays of any printer in California. Superior has embraced the Sustainable For- estry Initiative, in which its customers can be assured that the paperboard packaging produced by Superior is from a legal and responsible source. “It isn’t free to be green,” admits Superior’s founder Doug Rawson, “but it is of the utmost importance for our organization that we understand that the Earth has finite resources and that we all share an obligation to ensure that the resources are used wisely in the packaging indus- try. This is achieved through the use of recycled board, running and relying on solar power, and embracing and investing in practices and technology to minimize waste and have an environmentally safe pressroom. We believe that these must be managed day-to-day to ensure we have continued adherence to these customer centric cer- tifications.” Superior places emphasis on the well-being of its em- ployees as well as the entire printing industry. Its commu- nity-oriented outreach includes membership in over 10 industry associations, in which Superior’s team provides, shares, and gains knowledge about industry trends and new developments to better support all customers that they serve. Its board members participate in folding car- ton and corrugated converting associations where they actively participate and sponsor events and share best practices as an industry steward. Rawson’s mantra “a ris- ing tide lifts all boats” conveys his belief that by sharing knowledge among his peers will benefit all participants within the printing industry. As Superior Litho looks forward to the installation of its new Rapida press, the firm takes pride in its complete workflow and customer support team that hands-hold each customer project from inception to delivery.
