Clark Finishing Co., Orlando, FL, has expanded its finishing department with a Kluge14x22 EHD foil stamping, embossing, and die-cutting press (pictured above with Mike, Clark Finishing's senior Kluge pressman). The press was fully remanufactured at the Kluge facility with the addition of the Adjustable Impression feature, which significantly reduces makeready time. Bob Clark, president of Clark Finishing, commented on adding a fifth Kluge press to his production facility: "I was looking at used presses on the market but I decided to purchase directly from Kluge because I was impressed with Kluge's technical support, and I really wanted the Adjustable Impression feature. The makereadies are much easier, which ultimately results in faster changeovers and increased production."
