A German large-format print house replaced its old press and cut energy consumption by 50% and ink use by 20-25%, printing 8,500 square metres in two weeks with no downtime. Sayso filmed co-owner Roland Niggemeier beside the running press in Bochum.
Co-owner Roland Niggemeier, filmed beside his running superwide press, on cutting energy by 50% and ink by 20-25% while printing 8,500 square metres in two weeks.
It has the smallest droplet size... it's crazy fast, and it has advantages like printing with white on five meter width.
Shot inside Niggemeier Pro Imaging's production hall in Bochum. The interview was staged on the factory floor beside a running superwide press, not in an office. Machine noise was accepted as the price of the location and cleaned in post. When the camera refused to record while streaming to Zoom, a second laptop became the director's monitor. B-roll was all moving gimbal work, and staff who preferred not to be identified were filmed from behind or as hand close-ups.
