Digital Color Brings Big Payoff
Though the shop’s two A.B. Dick presses still see a lot of work, offset volumes and run lengths have definitely been declining in recent years, as have the number of monochrome quick print jobs.
“This decline was due in large part to documents being digitized and posted on the Internet and the population explosion of MFD office copiers on campus,” says Paul Kurzynowski, reprographics manager. “The decline in our monochromatic copying meant we had excess black-and-white capacity, and while we had a DocuColor 6060 for short-run digital color, we were still having to outsource short-run color in the 1,000 to 3,000 copy range. So we basically replaced two machines with one.”
