"Color in that case is important because it more readily identifies an item," he adds.
Sutera hopes to upgrade the color copier soon because of the increasing amount of work it is getting.
"We seem to be doing more color copying for internal use, as well as for short-run signing."
He's also hoping to buy a digital printing system, such as the T/R Systems cluster printing system, to facilitate the printing of black-and-white signs. Currently the shop must print hundreds of copies of each sign, then sort them according to store. A digital system would let the shop print all the signs needed by an individual store at one time. The in-plant would then have a database, which stores could access to print a sign remotely if they need a replacement.
