World Bank is planning to move its in-plant out of Washington to Maryland, so Bloodworth is preparing for that. At the same time, the shop is planning to buy a press and is currently analyzing both offset and ink-jet options.
On another panel, Steven Howe, manager of Printing Services, Stores and Mail Operations for the City of Cincinnati, introduced the audience to his shop's new MGI Meteor DP60 Pro (as detailed in IPG last month). It can print up to 13x47˝ on a range of substrates. His shop has produced plastic parking tags, labels, magnets and more, including the city's new multi-color business cards. One reason he chose the press was because the stationery it prints can be run back through laser printers.
