Manager Gary Boyd says the Ames, Iowa-based shop needed a press that would fulfill some lofty requirements: an upgrade in technology; an improvement in turnaround time and quality; and improved productivity through more efficient operator control.

He also kept his eyes peeled on trade journals, began talks with his existing suppliers and visited a few other printers to see how certain press models were performing.
