New iGen3 at Johnson County Community College

When demand for color printing increased, Johnson County Community College’s Xerox 2045 color printer could not keep up. So the Overland Park, Kansas-based in-plant recently added a Xerox iGen3 90 to meet its changing needs.

“The speed and ease of use of the iGen has helped us improve production of high-quality complex color documents on tight deadlines,” says Bruce Hines, manager of JCCC Document Services. “It has provided the additional capacity to accommodate the increased demand for color-printed classroom materials.”

The new iGen3 has allowed the in-plant’s staff to produce more complex pieces, including posters, brochures, books, postcards, labels, signage, pocket folders and educational materials.

JCCC Document Services (www.jccc.net/home/depts.php/4302) has also begun addressing people’s interest in variable data printing by purchasing XMPie uDirect Premier software from Xerox.

“The college is interested in developing VDP projects for departments on campus that currently use direct mail campaigns,” says Hines. “The college plans to get its feet wet by starting with simple projects such as personalized postcards and brochures, eventually moving toward producing customized viewbooks and catalogs based on the prospective student’s interests.”

The in-plant is also preparing to go live with Avanti’s Graphic Arts Management System in the coming weeks.
