Simon Fraser University Adds Five-color Press

By Bob Neubauer

Even successful digital printing operations need a little offset sometimes. Take Simon Fraser University Document Solutions, in Burnaby, British Columbia. In 2006, IPG detailed how this 15-employee in-plant had moved from antiquated offset equipment to state-of-the-art digital printers like a Xerox iGen3 and a DocuColor 6060. The shop didn’t completely abandon offset, though. It retained a four-color 20x29? Heidelberg Speedmaster 74 perfector press. Director Raj Nadrajan acknowledges that the iGen3, great as it is, can’t do everything. When it comes to long runs of high-end publications and marketing brochures, offset is simply more cost effective.
