Archdiocese Adds Two-color Press
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has installed a two-color Presstek/A.B.Dick press in its Printing and Duplicating Services department. Kevin Riley, manager of the three-employee in-plant, says the new press is allowing the shop to print two-color letterhead that previously had to be outsourced. The press is also being used to print two-color posters and brochures for the large archdiocese, which includes more than 1.4 million Catholics.
In deciding which press to buy, Riley toured the in-plant at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, which was running the same press. At the suggestion of the operators there, he had an Airtech infrared dryer installed on the press.
The archdiocese is celebrating its bicentennial next year. Thanks to the new press, the in-plant will be now able to add the blue bicentennial logo to letterhead.
The in-plant also runs a Xerox Nuvera and a DocuTech, along with a Canon CLC 3900 for color prints, though Riley hopes to upgrade that soon.
