New Five-color Press Keeps UTHealth Busy
Faster makereadies also mean less waste.
"Where I was needing 700 and 800 sheets to makeready a side, now [it takes] about 300," Horbelt reports.
Digital Upgrades
Despite the revenue that offset brings to the in-plant (and to UTHealth, since the in-plant turns all profits over to the institution), offset jobs make up only 19 percent of the shop's workload. To better handle the other 81 percent, the in-plant upgraded its digital black-and-white and color printers in October. Its Xerox 4127 was replaced by a Xerox D136, to handle a heavier production load; and the Xerox iGen4 was traded in for an iGen4 90 Diamond Edition featuring Matte Dry Ink. Its 14.33x22.5˝ sheet size lets the shop run more multiple-up jobs as well as posters.
