'Green' Approach Helps CMU Justify New Equipment
Also new is an Epson 8900 eight-up proofer, a Secap T2000 inline tabber and a 30˝ KBS dryer. The shop added four feet to its KBS conveyer, as well. Kohler expects all of the new equipment to save the university $56,000 in the first year, and pay for itself in approximately two and a half years.
To ensure color consistency throughout the in-plant, the shop recently calibrated all of its equipment to become GRACoL (General Requirements and Applications for Commercial Offset Lithography) compliant, a graphic arts standard for quality color printing.
