Big Lots Gets Big Overhaul

Excited About Four-color Press

For Pat Cassidy, a 15-year veteran of the Big Lots in-plant (and Layman's go-to guy "when everything falls apart"), the computerization aspect proved a great challenge, but he quickly fell in love with the four-color press.

"I've watched our shop evolve from having just a Multigraphics 1250, a platemaker and a cutter," he says. "The four-color [press] is state of the art in that it can almost be a proof press—you can start it up and turn out a proof in a heartbeat. We love the easy and quick setup, and the features on it allow for a quick turnaround on jobs.
