Introduced at Graph Expo, the new four-color Meteor DP8700 multi-substrate digital press from MGI Digital Graphic Technology, supports up to a 13x40˝ sheet (13x47˝ with manual bypass) and prints up to 71 ppm (letter-size) with a maximum 3,600 dpi resolution.

Since installing a new Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C7000, Printing & Distribution Services for the City of Portland, Ore., now prints an average of 155,000 color pages a month—a 55 percent increase over what the shop produced on its previous printer, a bizhub PRO C6500.

Harlequin set up an in-house digital paperback book printing line, staffed by seven people over two shifts, that enables the in-plant to print and finish more than 1,000 paperback books per hour. To print the books, Harlequin selected a high-volume Océ VarioStream continuous-feed printer, a toner-based solution that prints almost 10,000 books in an eight-hour shift.

Through the use of data analytics and enhanced relevant marketing Rosemont College hoped to improve results for its Annual Fund drive. Rosemont’s service provider, Pacesetter Enterprises, developed a multi-phase, cross-channel campaign that exceeded expectations. Undergraduate alumni participation increased by 66%.

To make itself even more integral to the university's marketing strategy, Cedarville University Postal & Print Services installed a Ricoh Pro C901 Graphic Arts Edition digital color printer.

Since the purchase of a Konica Minolta bizhub C500 press five years ago, Jeff Davis, in-plant coordinator at Southwest Tennessee Community College, has been impressed with the quality of the machine. So when he decided to boost his in-plant's finishing capabilities, he went with two bizhub C6000 presses.

The addition of a new Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C7000 last September has made all the difference to the in-plant at Iowa Bankers Association in Johnston, Iowa. As the in-plant's volume began to increase, Todd Palmer, printing coordinator, realized that sharing a four-color Canon imageRUNNER press with the rest of the staff at the company was no longer going to cut it.

Over the past couple of years, there has been a noticeable increase in envelope printing at in-plants. The trend has been enabled by the availability of small digital envelope presses from companies like Xanté, PSI Engineering, Intoprint Technologies and OKI Data Americas. All of the devices use the same OKI print engine but offer different feeding options. These devices hit the market just as many in-plants' old offset duplicators were breaking down and their operators started retiring.

Dozens of government and higher-ed printers met in Washington, D.C., for the INTERQUEST Digital Printing in Government and Higher Education Forum.

The Mail and Print Services department at Barnard College in New York City, has had a long-standing affair with Konica Minolta equipment. That's why when the time came to add a new digital press, it was an easy choice for director Alan Anderson, who chose a Konica Minolta C7000 digital press.
