The project in cooperation with Sensus Design Factory and State archive in Sisak – catalog of the exhibition ‘Sisak Ironworks – from iron ore to steel pipes’, after the STA100 award of The Society of Typographic Arts Chicago last fall, received another valuable international design award – this time the annual Design Annual 2021 of Communication Arts magazine.

Of the 3,570 projects submitted from around the world, an international ten-member jury awarded only 130 projects, making this edition the most exclusive review of world graphic design, with less than 4% of the works selected.

Communication Arts magazine (Menlo Park, California) with its six annual editions (each of which is dedicated to one topic – design, typography, advertising, photography, illustration and interactive design) and high circulation, is one of the world’s top publications for visual communications and his award is one of the most esteemed recognitions in design circles, highly respected by the profession, clients and design theorists.

We are glad that we contributed to this valuable award and with our print quality emphasized the excellent graphic solutions of our partners.

During the event, a short presentation was held for all our dear business partners and guests, who were additionally introduced to the achieved goals of our printing house, presenting the large investment we made through the project: “Expanding the capacity of Kerschoffset d.o.o. by investing in equipment ”. We started the project at the end of 2016, and in 2018 it was successfully completed and crowned with a pleasant gathering in the WoW Boutique Bar of the Kaptol Center.
With a good atmosphere and dear people, we celebrated this great investment of our company in the best possible way. Thank you all who came and marked this significant success with us.

Our cooperation has been going on for years to the mutual satisfaction … high quality printing from the sheets, speed of reaction and especially technical support during the realization of our projects are the basis of our cooperation. The Kerschoffset team can always provide professional advice, technical support or suggestions on how best to carry out a given project. Speed ​​and quality are additional reasons why we decided to print in this printing house. Also, the successful implementation of projects, despite very short deadlines, and timely delivery of ordered materials are a pledge to our future cooperation.

Wolfgang Fellner, director, KLIEMSTEIN PAPIERVERARBEITUNGS GmbH

The collaboration with Kerschoffset started several years ago and every year our collaboration grew so that we got to know each other better. They are extremely persistent, communicative, fast and of high quality, so working with them is a real pleasure. The special value of cooperation is given by their expertise, quality and speed of realization, which allows us to expand the range of joint products.

Aleksandra Slabinac, Altavia Hrvatska d.o.o.

Wonderful, dedicated, professional people and exceptional quality – this is the easiest way to describe the collaboration with Kerschoffset. Professionals you can always turn to for advice and you know how the final product will turn out exactly as you agreed and will be delivered within the agreed deadlines.

Adriana Piteša, editor, Profil knjiga d.o.o.

Kerschoffset printing house is, in terms of technical/organizational part (communication, delivery time …), really the most reliable supplier.

Each ordered, printed material came exactly as we envisioned it with top quality. If there was an accidental error in the machine during printing, and we noticed it during delivery, the error would be corrected as soon as possible – which has happened only a few times in the last 10 years of cooperation.

Larry Tomac, CRM & Marketing support, BAYER d.o.o.

For almost 10 years we have been printing our books and all the accompanying materials at the Kerschoffset printing house. There are many reasons for our loyalty to this truly special business partner – quality service, calculations of offers within 24 hours, speed of delivery, compliance with deadlines, professionalism and kindness of staff, excellent value for money. In our collaboration, we went through ups and downs together, months and years that were extremely difficult for business as well as periods when it was sunny. We went through both periods together in mutual support and understanding. We highly appreciate such collaborators and partners.

Marina Kralj Vidačak, director, Planetopija d.o.o.

Kerschoffset is a printing house that performs the agreed tasks quickly, accurately and on time … we have been cooperating with them for years and we have only positive experiences. In our industry, deadlines are often short and full of unforeseen situations, and we have never had a problem with delivery. That says enough about our collaboration. The optimal price ratio for the ordered products, the speed of delivery and the quality of the finished textbooks are the reasons that our cooperation will continue in the future.

Ivo Elezović, director, Element d.o.o.

Praise, praise

I must emphasize that we did not encounter any problems with complicated and complex materials (especially POS products) with our associates from Kerschoffset. The materials were orderly delivered, on time and of top quality. If additional consultations or advice were needed regarding the technical aspect of the material, we received all the necessary information for the successful implementation of the project. Our cooperation continues and we look forward to future projects.

Iva Peretić, Contract Manager/Buyer – Commerce, HEINEKEN HRVATSKA d.o.o.

Long-term collaboration with the Kerschoffset printing house has resulted in a multitude of interesting projects. I always like to emphasize that the printing house nurtures a partnership with our company, which results in technical support for complex projects and very orderly execution of obligations. The quality of printing is unquestionable, and when you add fast delivery times and reasonable prices, you have a partner in the printing industry, which is extremely important for our company.

Tomislav Fiolić, General Affairs Director, Generali Osiguranje d.d.

The collaboration with Kerschoffset has been going on for several years. Deliveries of our materials are in accordance with professional trade standards, fast and within the agreed deadlines. The print quality is up to par, definitely associates to recommend.

Miran Krištof, Purchasing Director, DZS ZALOŽNIŠTVO IN TRGOVINA D.D.

I have been cooperating with the Kerschoffset printing house for more than 10 years in a row and on various jobs, from large projects for Profil Klett to smaller but demanding ones, such as ones for the Museum of Lika Gospić.

Whatever the case is, Kerschofset approaches work equally professionally and responsibly.

From the first contact and inquiry to the delivery, you can be certain that our colleagues at Kerschoffset care and will make sure that everything is exactly as agreed, of high quality and on time.

My impression is that a top quality of the product is theirprimary goal, so you can trust that the work will be agreed in detail, the preparation carefully reviewed, and that the print will beperformed exquisitelyand on the quality materials. Also,you can be sure that the finishing,regardless of its complexity, will bealways carefully and neatly done.

I would recommend (and I did ) the Kerschoffset printing house always and without any hesitation.

Ivana Pavičić, Head of the Graphic Design Department, PROFIL KLETT d.o.o.

Horizon AFC – 746F

The “twins” also came to the part of our machine park – two new combined machines for bending sheets Horizon AFC – 746F. With the new, fully automated top model, the AFC-746F Horizon sets completely new benchmarks in automation and performance points for B1 format combined sheet bending machines.

With Touch & Work technology, Horizon is making a real small revolution in the handling of finishing machines. Adjustment is quick and easy, which increases flexibility and economy. The adjustment is done completely on the 10.4-inch color touch screen. After digital input of the bending type and output format, the whole machine adjusts itself within a few seconds. It is also characterized by extreme precision – automatic adjustments are made quickly and accurately, so something manual would not be possible at all. The machine provides automatic adjustment and correction for the loader, splitter head, bag stoppers, crossbars for arches, side stops and input rulers, and automatic calculation and adjustment of bending rollers with 1/1000 mm accuracy, including the possibility of oblique adjustment.
21 standard types of bending, of which 10 with cross bending is fixedly pre-programmed which speeds up and simplifies work, the machine also allows memorization of 200 orders and response within a few seconds.

KBA Rapida 106-8 SW4 SPC

The Rapida 106 is the latest hit in the offset printing market. Prints maximum 720×1050 formats on both sides at 15,000 ar/h and single-sided at 18,000 ar/h. It is equipped with the most modern ErgoTronic ColorControl color monitoring system – QualiTronic ColorControl where two cameras inside the machine and a system on the machine control panel with an already proven team of Kerschoffset operators guarantee the best color monitoring according to FOGRA standard or customer’s wish. We store your work in our database in the machine and if you decide to repeat the work you get an identical product whenever you want. The FAPC automatic plate exchange system, where the machine changes plates at the same time and washes offset tires, reduces the preparation time between jobs to the time it takes the machine to make coffee.

KBA 105PRO-5+L FAPC

The KBA 105 PRO is the latest generation printing machine coming out of the KBA factory in 2017. The new generation of KBA machines offers us a large number of improvements that significantly increase the printing speed, the quality of fingerprint measurement and speed up the preparatory work between the two jobs. Print speed, increased to an impressive 17,000 prints/hour, varnishing, included automatic formatting of the machine according to paper size, weight and complexity, infinite investment – exposure (without reducing the printing speed), perfectly efficient ErgoTronic color control measurement and tracking system whose cameras measure each individual print, correct them during printing, “remember” jobs to prepare and do them even faster next time), makes this machine the pinnacle of printing engineering in its class. These performances now allow us an effective print speed that is up to 40% higher than our competition.

Cron UV CTcP with 5-drawer Autoloader and 3-way Punch bridge

A new line for the production of Cron UV CTcP offset plates with a 5-drawer Autoloader and a 3-way Punch bridge, connected in line with the Egraf developer is also in operation.
With a very simple and efficient installation and calibration of plates on all machines according to the FOGRA standard, Cron’s CTP line is a big step forward in the capacity and quality of preparation of offset plates for 5-color B1 KBA, 8-color B1 KBA and 4-color B3 RYOBI within our printing park. The lighting capacity of up to 40 B1 panels/hour is more than enough to serve the production needs, which can be further increased with the current SCREEN thermal CTP.

Pancer PRESTO II

The new wire staple line, the PRESTO II model from the renowned Swiss manufacturer Muller Martini, has replaced the previous HOHNER TYP HSB 8000 staple line, which is proudly retiring. We hope that the new successor will improve production and surpass its predecessor with its improved performance as it is the market leader in the mid-range range editions. It stands out in fast preparations between jobs with a high level of automation and speeds up to 9000 pcs/hour.
The insertion of the sheets takes place via six automated stations and two for manual loading, which ultimately allows the creation of a large range of products. Among the additional advantages of the pancer PRESTO II, we single out the simple control via the touch control panel with job memory options that greatly speed up the preparation time and reduce production waste.

In agreement with the client, we make a test print that is color-referenced to offset printing and we make a proofreading print that is content-referenced, in accordance with the ISO 12647 (FOGRA) standard. If there is a need, we also make a model of the product.

In order to make the prepress proces as easy as possible, we have prepared prepress instructions. In the instructions you can learn how to set up programs (Adobe CS, Corel, Word, Freehand) and how to create a document suitable for printing.
