The main problem Mason faced was lack of space. With less than 900 square feet to its name, Printing Services simply had no room for a large digital press.
“There was a lot of equipment out there that was too large for us,” he affirms.
Recently, after a year of searching (and studying IPG to see what other in-plants were using), Westside Printing Services finally went digital. Its presses and platemaker were hauled away, and in their place was installed a monochrome Océ VarioPrint 6250 and a color Océ CS665 Pro. Also, a new 125-ppm Xerox 4127 replaced the shop’s Nuvera.
