By combining our deep industry expertise with advanced repair techniques and steadfast commitment to quality, we deliver exceptional services that set us apart in the printing industry.


Our Client-Focused Approach


Cylinder Medic USA's approach to cylinder repair is "results-oriented". We start with a comprehensive diagnostic process to fully understand our client's objectives before proposing a suitable repair plan. We appreciate that each situation is unique; thus, we develop personalized action plans designed to minimize disruption to production schedules.


Versatility and Emergency Service


Our versatility and commitment to prompt service are among the key pillars of our success. Our teams are ready 24/7 to handle emergency printing press cylinder repairs. We handle a wide range of issues, including jam-ups, wrench damage, cave-ins, deep holes, low areas, and corrosion, providing nationwide services.


On-Site Repair, Less Downtime


We provide on-site repair services, which eliminate the need for cylinder removal and replacement, thereby reducing time and associated costs. Our team performs restorations in the printing press without disassembly. This approach ensures less downtime, more productivity, and significant cost savings. We work in sections between press runs, ensuring continuous operation and minimal disruption.


Our Process


Our repair process is thorough and designed to restore your cylinders to their optimal condition:


  1. Repair Cylinder Surface: We conduct grinding, sanding, welding, or thermal spraying to repair the cylinder surface, based on the specific needs of the job.

  2. Electroplating: Depending on the requirements, we perform nickel or chrome electroplating.

  3. Close-Tolerance Measurements: We ensure close-tolerance measurements within +/- .0005 to maintain the precise dimensions necessary for optimal performance.

  4. Buff and Polish Surface: We buff and polish the cylinder surface for a smooth finish, enhancing both appearance and functionality.

  5. Print-Test Acceptance: Before we consider a job complete, we conduct a print-test to verify the repaired cylinder's performance.

  6. Client Sign-Off: We value client satisfaction. Thus, the final sign-off on repair comes from the client, ensuring that our service meets their expectations.


Cylinder Medic USA remains committed to exceeding expectations, delivering the highest quality on-site printing press cylinder repair services.
