Hoping to make such a significant purchase after touring Drupa is Wes Friesen, manager of Revenue Collection and Community Offices at Portland General Electric.

“I have started the process to get approval to replace, in 2009, our existing IBM production printing system,” he says. “I am hoping to be able to purchase two color digital printers. We use these printers to print our customer billing statements, late notices and letters. So at Drupa, Eric Houger and I will be examining about six different potential digital printers that might be good fits for our needs.”
