Designing a Better In-plant
"We didn't have an online ordering system," she says. To remedy that, Meyers created a proposal to justify adding eAccess to the shop's Avanti MIS.
"That's been huge for our business," she remarks.
Next, she looked at the in-plant's digital color capabilities and decided the operation could grow more by replacing its Xerox DocuColor 8000. After six months of research, the shop added a Kodak NexPress 2500 with Dimensional Printing capabilities in 2010. This has been a huge boon to business. It was closely followed by the addition of a Kodak Digimaster to replace a Xerox DocuTech 6100. Next, Meyers upgraded the in-plant's wide-format printer to a 54˝ Xerox 8254E to expand this growing business.
