“Those machines just run non-stop” at the end of each quarter, says Rex Brooker, manager of the Document Automation Team.
They are busy pumping out 401k statements for the company’s growing Retirement and Investor Services (RIS) business unit.
Brooker detailed his in-plant’s success with digital color printing in a session at last month’s In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association conference, in Oklahoma City (see story on this site). Up until mid-2000, he said, RIS had been providing simple black-and-white 401k statements. When color images and charts were suggested, RIS contemplated outsourcing the work. The in-plant offered an internal solution and added nine Xerox 2060s, its first foray into digital color. Four years later these were swapped for five NexPresses. The rest is history.
