“We print 5.6 million impressions a week for those 290 stores,” DeWildt enthuses. “We deliver to over 160 newspapers in Michigan and parts of Indiana and Ohio.”

The sheetfed department is no slouch either, printing more than 300,000 impressions per week. Armed with a five-color 20x29? Heidelberg Speedmaster and a pair of two-color Heidelbergs, the in-plant produces point-of-sale materials, newsletters, banners, posters, booklets, brochures, business cards, letterhead, envelopes, and much more.
