Digital Color Presses: If Only They Had Known...
How about customer-related issues?
Harty: We became so good about meeting fast delivery times, our customers began to expect us to perform these miracles daily.
Smith: We used the "if you build it, they will come" approach, and that worked well for us. I'm not sure we would have had much success at pre-selling the press or its capabilities. Our customers wanted to see it in action first, then discuss applications for their business. Also, we did not clearly understand or imagine the capabilities of the press until it was in and running. At that time, we began to brainstorm new opportunities as we saw what it could do.
