After completing investments in all regions, except Istanbul, in 2007, it was resolved to invest only in Istanbul in 2007; dismantling and assembly of machinery began in October.
The new printing press will be online in April 2009. Featuring fve towers and two folding units, this new machine will boost the existing printing equipment pool by 20% and the capacity for total color prints by 35%. Furthermore, the installation of an automatic color cutof register system to the existing printing press and improvements in press machinery will enhance print quality. The estimated time of completion for these upgrades is July 2009. As a result of these investments the current print quality, print speed and technology, and, therefore, productivity and efciency will improve. Moreover, transferring ink data to the press will signifcantly reduce the waste rate. These investments, initiated in 2008, will be fnalized in 2009.  |
