Three university in-plants in the UK have installed Presstek digital offset presses in recent months. In addition to Glasgow Caledonian University, which (as reported in IPG’s May issue) has installed a landscape-format Presstek 52DI, Aberystwyth University and the University of Edinburgh have each installed Presstek 34DI digital offset presses. In fact, this is the second 34DI for Aberystwyth, which is located in Wales.

The UK University Print Managers Group met for its 10th annual conference recently near Manchester, England, drawing 55 attendees from Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Similar to ACUP, the conference featured sessions on staff development, marketing, remaining competitive, sustainable procurement, working for the environment, working with Marketing and more. There was also a problem-solving workshop along with discussions of online services and digital printing strategies. Next year’s event will take place June 1-4 in Bournemouth, England.
