RMG

February 21, 2008

The class toured RMG, one of the leaders in printing in the Chattanooga area. They have the most impressive lithographic printer that can print up to 10 colors.
We toured everything from beginning to end. It was interesting to see aspects of the job from plate making to blanketing prints, special lighting that everyone uses for proof for ultimate consistency, the large printers at the second printing location, and the multitude of materials that could be printed on. One printer can print onto a door, or any flat surface up to 2″ thick. The printing at this company is large scale and big name. From the design desk to the packaging and shipping of materials, it seems RMG does it all, and for big names such as Publix, Home Depot, Macy’s, and that just names a few I saw while in the facility. It was very exciting to see printing on this scale. I would love to visit again.
