This wasn’t the in-plant’s only upgrade. In November, at the end of its five-year lease, the shop replaced its five-color HP Indigo 3050 with a six-color Indigo 3500, with SmartStream workflow management. The two extra color units allow the in-plant to print both WSU colors, crimson and gray, which will help bring in more jobs. The shop is now printing all university business cards on the new digital press, which can handle a larger sheet size (12.6x18.7˝) than the 3050.
