Out With Offset, In With Indigo
Edward Sala says on the day University Communications at Washington State University installed its new HP Indigo 10000, it was as if “one switch went on and one switch went off.”
Prior to the Indigo, the 34-employee in-plant ran three Heidelberg offset presses and an HP Indigo 3500. But the same day the 10000 was fired up for the first time, the offset presses were taken offline for good.
“We didn’t have the luxury of overlapping our B2 sheet offset with our B2 sheet 10000,” says Sala, assistant executive director of University Communications. “The day the 10000 went online was the day the Speedmaster went offline.”
