The shop's first digital color printer was a Xerox 2045. "That particular machine was recommended for 125,000 impressions per month, but we did 500,000 easily and kept building off that," Taranto notes.

CPS purchased its first Xerox iGen3 in July 2005, and after a quick $2.5 million in cost savings, Taranto was able to justify a second digital color press by December of the same year. Over time, the shop has added and upgraded units to reach its current count of five iGen digital presses, including three iGen4s. He also anticipates a six-month-or-less ROI for each of the new presses and hints of the likelihood that number six will be installed soon.
