University of Essex Adds DI Press, CTP

At the beginning of 2011, the in-plant at U.K.-based University of Essex, in Wivenhoe Park, rebranded itself as Print Essex. The 13-employee shop then strategically targeted a broader range of customers including those in the commercial market.

To support this expansion strategy, the in-plant installed a Presstek 52DI digital offset press and a Vector FL52 chemistry-free computer-to-plate (CTP) system.
