Web-to-print Moves In-plant to Head of Class

"We never had an automated way of doing creasing on our digital printing," Ackerman says. "The 645 will help with cutting out business cards and doing four-side trimming on full-bleed pieces. We've seen a lot of growth with that in the last few years, especially with the iGen3."

That digital color press was installed in the fall of 2008 and has allowed Printing Services to venture into uncharted waters, particularly with variable data printing. In addition to the business cards, the shop performs sequential numbering on forms, numbering on tickets and event notices, complicated mail pieces and garden variety form letters.
