Signature Graphics purchases MEGTEC vertical heatset web offset dryers to achieve
flexibility and versatility
De Pere, Wis., U.S.A. – April 12, 2010 - MEGTEC Systems Inc. announces the purchase of two
MEGTEC vertical dryers and chill stands by Signature Graphics of Portland, Oregon, adding
heatset capabilities as part of an expansion to their existing Tensor press. The equipment
installation is planned for May, 2010.
The project will fulfill multiple needs for Signature Graphics. Dan Dutton, Executive Vice
President said, “We have certain existing customers who have enquired about heat-set options,
and we have numerous prospective clients who require heatset options. This project will allow
us to service these existing clients’ needs by expanding our available printing solutions.”
With the addition of a MEGTEC Coanda Plus dryer and chill stand package to their press,
Signature Graphics will now have the flexibility to offer their customers a hybrid package with
both heatset and coldset printing solutions, with capabilities for printing a wide range of product
brochures, mailers, newspapers as well as commercial printing.
Asked why Signature Graphics chose MEGTEC as the supplier, Dutton commented, “Following
our due diligence process, we concluded that the MEGTEC vertical dryers would be a perfect fit
for our project. The equipment specs fit our needs in terms of drying capabilities, and our
research on MEGTEC yielded a comfort level in terms of service and reliability that was
unparalleled.”

One of the key elements was MEGTEC’s ability to meet their tight project deadline. Phil Strand,
Vice President of MEGTEC’s Printing Products business in North America added, “MEGTEC’s
engineering team worked to design a cost-effective solution by incorporating a Coanda vertical
dryer for Signature Graphics application. We are proud to work with customers like Signature
Graphics and provide a customized solution for their needs.”
The MEGTEC Vertical Coanda dryer is a flotation dryer specifically built for vertical placement
where space is limited, while retaining the quality and reliability of a horizontal MEGTEC dryer.
The complete MEGTEC installation package for Signature Graphics includes the dryer and chill
stand, driveline components, shafts and guards as well as provisions for two (2) cold webs to
bypass the dryer. The package also arrives on site prewired and prepiped, helping to control
costs by reducing the installation time required.
