Athesiadruck in Bozen, Italy, the printing division of the Athesia-Group, produces 40 Million newspaper copies a year, as well as books, calendars and other print products. Recently the company put a new Colorman XXL press into operation to replace an old Uniman press from 1990.

The two printing towers are now operated by only three printers (who also take care of the platemaking and reelstands), half of the staff needed before. At the same time, the waste figure could be reduced dramatically. This is also thanks to the MobilPad of manroland, a mobile device with the functionality of a control desk. The printers save time by taking it right to the position of the press where they need to carry out adjustments, for example at the folder or the mini plow device, or for maintenance work. As Werth says, the printers got used to it very quickly thanks to its intuitive operation.
