Presses / Muller Martini Presses

Muller Martini is one of the World's largest makers of business forms and direct mail presses. These machines are all made in Maulberg Germany. The first machines were introduced in 1971 as the Muller Standard. It was 20 1/2" wide, variable size, and designed for the business forms markets. Shortly thereafter a 32 1/2" wide version was made. This was for the longer run business forms markets. Muller Martini presses have always been noted for having good drivelines and geard, well designed ink systems, and modular construction. From the beginning their presses reflected these strengths. Beginning in the early 1980's Muller started putting UV dryers on their presses. This allowed them to go into the direct mail coated stock markets. In 1982 Muller introduced the Progress Press. This machine hade one of the first successful pre-setup makeready systems that really worked. The Progress was very successful and over 1000 machines were made. In 1986 the Progress S was brought out. This added a huge ink system to the Progress line. Eventually the Progress S line included both 20 1/2" and 32 1/2" widths. In 1986 Muller also brought out the brilliantly engineered Pronto. This is a 3 color short run forms press that could go from roll to fold and print, number, punch, and perf, in one operation, plus! change sizes with a gear change only, without breaking the web. Hundereds of these machines were sold Worldwide. In the early 1990's Muller Martini introduced the first computer controled press of this type the Concept. This was another brilliant engineering feat. The Concept press has been hugely sucsessful in the business forms and direct mail areas. It is one of the most sought after used presses in the World. Then in the Late 1990's Muller brought out the A series heavy duty computer controlled presses in 20 1/2" (52 cm), 27" (86 cm), and 29 1/2" (74 cm) widths. This series combined the computer control of the Concept with the high capacity ink coverage of the Progress S. At the very end of the 1990's Muller servo drove the Concept and made the Concept NT. All of these machines are variable size, all have high quality drivelines (for close register), all print well, and all are modular. This is combined with Muller's good parts and service. These presses are all winners.
