Moving From Offset To Digital

Koloff: Online collating and bindery options save time for our production personnel, as well as the ability to generate documents on demand that we have archived.

What opportunities did digital printing open up?

Bekker: I think my favorite was our first major digital project. In the old days, an annual price list was produced using traditional offset methods. At the end of the year, a new price list was created and the old price lists were obsolete. In some cases, this was about eight skids of printed material right in the recycle bin. About five years ago, we began to produce the project on demand, which reduced warehouse space and drastically reduced production costs. Initial savings for this project was just under $90,000. Needless to say, we have been producing it digitally ever since.
