"As a long time user of the Sentinel Ink Management System, it was an easy choice to specify the Gen 2 Sentinels on our new Heidelberg presses. They give us great color consistency throughout each job, and the job reports help us manage inventory and costing".

Rock-Tenn Company          Waxahachie, TX
Equipment: Roland 700  40"  7color & Mitsubishi 56"   7 color

"The Accel Sentinel systems have had many benefits to our operation. We put systems on two printing presses in our Texas plant. They have significantly reduced our ink waste. Another benefit has been on the housekeeping side. No longer do we have to deal with ink “stringers” on the printing units or on the printing decks. It is also much easier to clean and setup the ink fountains. Our operators really like the ease of use and cleaner procedures for wash-up and setup."

"The second way waste is reduced is through waste prevention. Waste prevention occurs through the use of the Sentinel Ink Management System. During 2002, waste ink reduced due to the use of Sentinel System amounted to 5.8 tons!

"The return on Investment is short (1 - 1 1/2yrs.) Waste is greatly reduced, improves stability of ink flow to the press, saves time for the feeder as it pertains to running up and down the press filling fountains"

Ripon Community Printers    Ripon, WI
Equipment: Heidelberg 6 color SM74

"I like the way it was built and how consistent it keeps the ink fountain level. I am able to run the press with one operator and we have noticed less ink waste. No more running out of ink in the fountain". It is a very time and ink saving system and you are able to keep accurate records on ink usage for every job".

"Pressman like them because it gives them more time to monitor print quality. It gives us better ink usage. The system has met and exceeded our expectations. It is very easy to use. We would recommend to other printers".

R.R. Donnelly-Banta    Eden Prarie, MN
Equipment: Heidelberg 6 color SM102

"We are currently able to run and maintain ˝ pound of ink in each fountain. Not only do we benefit from less fountain waste this way, we also maintain consistent color through the course of a job due to a constant ink level. Total projected annual saving of ink waste and press time based on first 5 months experience. $59,161.00."

Altivity/Smurfit-Stone     St. Charles, IL         
Equipment: KBA 162 64" 8 Color

"I would recommend Sentinels to other printers because of the reduced waste ink,the ability to have an accurate report of ink consumption, and the consistent color on press throughout the job."   

 Lowe-Martin Group     Ottawa, Ontario Canada
Equipment: Heidelberg 6 color & 10 color SM102

"A normal morning start-up used to take the pressman and his feeder 20 minutes to set the fountains and ink up. With the sentinels, the feeder can do the job in the same time while the pressman prepares for the first job. During the day, a feeder would spend up to 2 hrs of a 12 hr shift loading and monitoring ink levels. With the sentinels, 20 minutes has become the norm. We have gone from 5 to 6 Kilos(11-13.2 lbs) of waste per day to less than 2 lbs per day. We have calculated our ink waste savings to be $22,000 this year"."

"The Sentinel ink delivery system has exceeded or Return on Investment expectations and it has helped improve the quality of our print. Our operators no longer have to worry about keeping ink in the fountains since the system does it for them. The system has virtually eliminated color surges from manually loaded ink and it gives them more freedom to focus on the job. With the console at the operators station, the operators no longer have to calculate how much ink was used on a job, as it tells them what was delivered to the fountain thereby improving job costing."
